How to remove cheeks and make cheekbones in a week - exercises for girls and men

Despite the fact that body positivity is in fashion now, many women (and men) remain dissatisfied with their shape. And we are talking not only about the shape of the body, but also the face.

A girl can have a chic, chiseled figure, and at the same time a rather plump face. And now, thanks to this unfair roundness, she no longer seems so slender, because excess fatty tissue in the cheek area is automatically mistaken by many people for fullness. In addition, with age, the skin and muscles invariably lose their elasticity, the tissues sag, and the mirror displays a completely bleak picture.

What can you do to get expressive cheekbones and get rid of full cheeks? You can try to hide the defect with makeup, visit a cosmetologist for massages or hardware procedures, decide on radical surgery, or try doing facial exercises at home. The last option is available to everyone; you just need to study the theory and 10-15 minutes a day. And the result is a toned oval face and beautiful cheekbones.

How to do exercises for cheekbones

Today, every girl wants to have a fashionable, high-cheekbone face. A whole set of exercises has been developed that will help define the cheekbones, removing the plumpness of the cheeks.

Get ready to do exercises that will help you get a fashionable face.

  1. Puffing out the cheeks. First puff out one cheek, then the other. It is necessary to draw in as much air as possible, and when releasing it, forcefully push it out. Perform 5 times on each side.
  2. Rolling air. Blow air first under the upper, then under the lower lip. Do this 5-6 times.
  3. Roll the air in a circle, first through your cheeks, then through your lips - 5 times.
  4. Rinse your mouth as if it were water for 1 minute.
  5. Run your tongue around your gums 5 times.
  6. Show your upper teeth and gums. Repeat 10 times.
  7. Fix the nasolabial fold, start winking desperately. “Wink” 10 times.
  8. To tighten the oval of the face and remove the double chin, you need to perform this exercise 10 times: place your fingers under the corners of your lips, say the letter “Y”.
  9. Pull your cheeks in and press your lips tightly together. Try smiling, holding the smile for 6 seconds, repeat 4 times.
  10. Open your eyes wide, smile widely with your mouth open, hold for 10 seconds, repeat 10 times.
  11. Say the letter “O”, then the letter “X”, engaging all the facial muscles. Repeat -10 times.

To see the result, do this complex for 14 days. If your face is not too plump, you can achieve results in a week.

Professional approach

Home care is a preventive and supportive measure, saving us in the early stages of the problem. If a cosmetic defect is already pronounced, and you want to get rid of it quickly, then you should contact professional cosmetologists and plastic surgeons. The effect of salon procedures is often noticeable after the first session, but in most cases it is necessary to complete a whole course.


A professional cosmetologist will select a course of procedures that is necessary for you.

Professional procedures can be divided into two types:

  1. Minimally invasive. The most gentle methods that do not require surgical intervention. These include thread lifting of the lower third of the face, the use of high-density fillers or lipofilling in the cheekbones, 3D modeling, hardware (laser, ultrasound lifting, thermage, etc.).
  2. Surgical. Various types of plastic surgery are performed in clinics by a plastic surgeon under anesthesia.

Minimally invasive techniques

Salon procedures are excellent at combating the initial sagging of the face, which is already problematic to eliminate on your own. The effect is noticeable immediately, but a whole series is required. Unfortunately, the results from visiting a cosmetologist will not last the rest of your life; you will need to repeat the course from time to time.

Table: cosmetic procedures, their descriptions and limitations

ProcedureWhat's the pointRestrictions
Contour plasticSubcutaneous injection of gels based on dense hyaluronic or polylactic acid. Allows you to compensate for the lack of volume in the soft tissues of the cheeks or increase the volume of the cheekbones, due to which the skin above them is tightened. One procedure is enough to get the full effect. The result with the introduction of HA lasts about 12 months, with the introduction of other fillers - up to 3 years. Not used for soft tissue ptosis (sagging) caused by excess subcutaneous fat deposits or Bisha's lumps.
BioreinforcementInjections of high-density hyaluronic acid using special techniques that create a kind of frame that tightens and secures the soft tissues of the face. Lasts 1.5–2 years. Indicated only for mild to moderate sagging cheeks without excess fat deposits or skin folds.
LipofillingSubcutaneous injection of the patient's own, pre-processed fat. Allows you to compensate for the lack of volume in the soft tissues of the cheeks, increase the volume of the cheekbones, and thereby tighten the skin in this area. The effect lasts for 2–3 years. Not used for soft tissue ptosis caused by excess subcutaneous fat deposits or Bisha's lumps. The main disadvantage is that, as a rule, only 30–50% of the injected fat filler takes root, meaning correction may soon be needed.
Lifting with threadsInstallation of special threads, with the help of which the skin and soft tissues are moved to a new position and fixed in it. The procedure also activates the skin's production of its own collagen and elastin. Both biodegradable and non-absorbable threads can be used. Gives a long-term and natural effect of lifting the lower third of the face, on average for 3-5 years, depending on the type and number of threads. Even when using a biodegradable material, which dissolves after about 8–12 months, a fibrous framework remains under the skin, supporting it for quite a long time. Not used if there is a clear lack of soft tissue or if the subcutaneous fat layer is too thin (in this case, the threads will be visible through the skin).
ThermoliftingThermal effect on the skin, as a result of which the work of fibroblasts (connective tissue cells) is activated. Metabolism and blood circulation accelerate, cell renewal starts, collagen and elastin are synthesized. It will take 5–15 sessions with breaks from several days to a week. Used in the early stages of sagging soft tissues and to prevent facial aging processes. There are a number of health contraindications. Laser and light treatments are not performed during periods of active sun to avoid hyperpigmentation.
Microcurrent therapyImpact on the soft tissues of the face with weak electronic impulses. The muscle fibers contract and become toned, creating a slight lifting effect. The procedure is completely painless and atraumatic, there is no rehabilitation period. A course of 10–15 sessions is required with an interval of 6–8 months. Suitable mainly for the prevention of age-related changes, with mild ptosis of soft tissues. The corrective effect itself is very weak.

The disadvantages of eliminating the problem in this way are the high cost of the procedures and their pain.

Plastic surgery

In advanced cases, only a plastic surgeon can fix the problem.

Table: indications for surgery and its types

OperationIndicationsWhat's the point
Liposuction of subcutaneous fatExcess subcutaneous fat without significant excess skinIt is performed using one of the gentle methods (most often radio frequency). Fat cells are destroyed, and then their contents are removed using a special microcannula.
Removing Bisha's lumpsLarge fat pads without significant excess skinThe doctor makes incisions on the inside of the cheeks and removes the fat pads. As a result, the skin, which they pulled down with their weight, straightens and the oval of the face becomes smoother.
Cheek surgery (installation of facial implants)Moderate sagging skin with insufficient soft tissue volumeBiocompatible endoprostheses are placed in the cheekbone area, which add volume to the lower third of the face and thereby tighten the skin folds.
Circular lift or isolated lift of the lower third of the faceSignificant sagging of soft tissues with excess skinThe surgeon tightens the skin (and sometimes deeper tissue, down to the superficial muscle layer) and fixes it in a new position.

Often after plastic surgery, cosmetic procedures are prescribed that will correct and maintain the result of the surgical intervention. So, after removing Bisha's lumps or liposuction, a course of thermolifting is necessary so that the skin is successfully tightened in accordance with the new face shape.

The effect of successful plastic surgery will last about 10 years, but it will have to be maintained with regular visits to a cosmetologist.

There is no need to be afraid of scars during plastic surgery. The doctor makes incisions on the inside of the cheeks and behind the ear, where they are completely invisible.

Contraindications for performing facial gymnastics

Despite the fact that facial exercises are designed to improve appearance and strengthen muscles, these manipulations in some cases can only cause harm. Contraindications to gymnastics are:

  • mechanical damage to the face, inflammatory processes;
  • oncological processes in the body;
  • dilated vessels;
  • history of severe traumatic brain injury;
  • exacerbation of any existing chronic disease;
  • severe hypertension, hypertensive crisis;
  • the first time (about two years) after undergoing plastic surgery on the face;
  • 6-12 months after botulinum toxin injections;
  • diseases of the lymphatic system.

It is best if you consult a cosmetologist before you decide to do exercises at home. Firstly, the specialist will be able to give you recommendations on the correct technique for performing the procedures, and secondly, he will determine whether you can do them.

How to quickly highlight cheekbones

The fastest way to make your cheekbones stand out is to apply makeup. The main role will be played by blush, with which you can create the desired relief on your face.

To make beautiful makeup, it is important to choose the right blush. Pale pink blush will suit fair-skinned ladies, while dark-skinned girls should choose a crimson or beige-pink shade. Peach tones will look good on warm skin tones.

Cosmetics can beautify any face, but they can also ruin it. How to find where to apply blush? Go to the mirror, smile broadly. If the cheekbones stand out strongly, then a few strokes with a brush are enough. Lightly apply a product with a pearlescent shade to the convex part, and use a darker tone to mark the line under the cheekbones.

Beautiful reliefs on a round face can be created if blush is applied from below the cheekbones, gradually reaching the temporal area. This technique will help draw out the roundness.

Products applied to the middle of the cheek will help reduce a long face.

For oval face types, the color is applied under the cheekbones, shaded from the temples down. On a square-shaped face, blush is applied on the sides of the cheekbones.

Look at the photo to better understand the application method.

Reasons for the appearance of rounded cheeks

Excess weight. Excess body fat usually affects your appearance. The shape of the face becomes more rounded.

A certain structure of the skull makes the cheeks round.

Chronic fatigue, lack of sleep, health problems - in particular, with the endocrine system and kidneys - can cause swelling. Fluid may stagnate in the cheek area.

A face can also take on a puffy appearance due to excess salt, sodium and toxic substances in the body.

Poor posture is also the cause of chubby cheeks. In this case, subcutaneous fat is distributed unevenly, due to which the contours of the face are distorted - an unnecessary second chin appears, the face acquires rounded features;

Lack of protein in food consumed. This element is a building material for muscle tissue. Thanks to the latter, subcutaneous fat on the face is transformed into muscles, which allows it to acquire beautiful contours.

With age, those with chubby cheeks may encounter such an unpleasant problem as the appearance of jowls. They occur due to the loss of elastin and collagen in the skin. Often, at the same time, another problem arises - the appearance of nasolabial wrinkles. Together, all these changes make the appearance older and less attractive.

Another trouble that is often associated with chubby cheeks is the presence of redness on them. There can be many reasons for this phenomenon, but the result is usually a vascular network, which gives the skin a reddish tint.

Useful massage

Cheekbone massage is another method to give your face the desired definition. First comes gymnastics, which ends with a special type of massage.

  1. First, the skin is warmed in a circular motion.
  2. Gently rub with fingers from the chin, moving towards the forehead.
  3. Cosmetic oil is applied.
  4. Then they take plastic vacuum jars, pull in the cheeks, and place the jar on the cavity, which they hold for about 1 minute.
  5. After this, move the jar higher on the cheek.

After this procedure, your face will glow with youth and health.

Why cheeks sag: what to do with sagging

You can figure this out by thoroughly finding out why such a problem arises. There are several reasons for this, which we propose to consider in more detail.

Incorrect regimen and excess weight

Bad habits, such as cigarettes or alcoholic drinks, cause the body to age much faster, affecting blood vessels, internal organs, and all life support structures. Therefore, the chances of smokers seeing jowls in the mirror are much more real than those who lead a healthy lifestyle, are constantly on the move, and are often in the fresh air.

The second issue is nutrition. The abundance of fatty, sweet, spicy, fried and smoked foods has never benefited anyone. Excess body weight appears, and excess fat is deposited not only on the sides and abdomen, but also on the face, causing the thin epidermis to sag. It is worth eating more vegetables and fruits, giving preference to dishes rich in fiber, antioxidants, vitamins and minerals.

Habit of clenching teeth

Contrary to misconceptions, this option is also quite possible. The masticatory muscle, which spasms and is greatly shortened, becomes overstrained, becomes hypertonic, and creates a distortion. The resulting excess tissues drop, and the person wonders why the cheeks sag and sag, and what to do about it. It is advisable to control yourself and give up constantly clenching your teeth to the point of pain.

Age, gravity and hormonal imbalances

Gravitational ptosis is a sagging of the dermis under the influence of natural causes, gravity. On the face there are so-called Bisha lumps, which are accumulations of lipid tissue of the face. Over the years, the integument becomes less and less elastic, becomes thinner, and is less supported by collagen fibers and elastin. Under the pressure of fat, they fall lower and lower, forming folds.

Sometimes the processes described above can be caused by a lack or excess of any hormones in the body. They also aggravate dehydration and sagging, which can lead to the development of a defect. Therefore, it is worth using active cosmetics. One of the effective options is the placental mask from PlaReceta, suitable for intensive rejuvenation and deep restoration of the dermis.

Dentistry and spinal curvature

Often, unhealthy teeth, as well as problems with gums, can contribute to the development of an inflammatory process within the soft tissues. As a result, the latter become deformed, creating irregular or unclear lines of the chin and oval as a whole. This is also possible with improperly performed prosthetics.

Many people don’t even realize that posture can cause early wrinkles, as well as such an unpleasant defect as jowls. When stooping, the geometry of the body is disrupted, the muscles tense unevenly, some stretch excessively, while others contract and spasm. In the process, they become increasingly overgrown with a lipid layer, which is why unpleasant double chins and sagging are formed.
