How to remove cheeks and make cheekbones “like Angelina Jolie’s”

In general, beautiful, well-defined cheekbones are characteristic of the Asian type. In the Caucasian race, these are rare, which, of course, does not prevent girls from in the dream about them. Let’s figure out together how to “remove cheeks” and “make cheekbones” at home.

How to reduce chubby cheeks at home

“Expressive cheekbones speak about your genetics, more precisely, about racial affiliation,” she is convinced dermatologist Maria Nevskaya. – Therefore, the question of how to remove the cheeks and make the cheekbones seems to me not entirely correct. Yes, huge cheeks can disappear and cheekbones appear if you lose weight (in adolescence, this happens very quickly, sometimes even in a week). But this may not happen if the face is genetically programmed to be childishly plump. And then even with a normal physique, the cheeks will not go anywhere.

It is especially difficult for girls and women with edematous-deformational type of aging: over the years, the contours of the face become less and less clear, the cheekbones become less and less expressive, a second chin appears. But to try, if not to remove, then at least to reduce the cheeks, to make the “Nefertiti angle” (as the neck-chin angle is called) clearer and the cheekbones more graceful, it’s definitely worth it! And here’s what you can do.

  • Build up. You can reduce your face and “remove” your cheeks if you lose weight. Excess weight smooths out facial features, making them softer and more rounded. Of course, if a round face is inherited, losing weight is unlikely to change anything, but in some cases it can really bring it closer to the image of Angelina Jolie with her clear features.

  • Get rid of swelling. Even very thin people have them, and if the cheekbones are not very visible due to swelling, this is the lesser of evils: often excess water signals serious problems in the body.

  • Cure the “digital disease”. We spend a lot of time at the computer or scrolling through our feed in social networks on a smartphone, slouched or leaning forward with our whole body and pushing our heads. As a result, the posture deteriorates, the “computer neck” syndrome appears, and the contours of the face change not for the better. Cheeks float, get fat… Improving the ergonomics of the workplace, digital detox and an active lifestyle will help solve the problem.

  • Strengthen the muscles of the face and give the skin elasticity – with the help of fitness and face fitness, salon procedures and cosmetics. To show the cheekbones, sometimes they decide to remove Bish’s lumps – a plastic surgery, during which they get rid of fat pads in the cheek area. But we at Healthy-Food believe there must be a strong indication for this. And for everything else there is fitness and cosmetics!

By the way, whether your skin is threatened with premature loss of elasticity, you can find out with the help of our test.

How to “remove” cheeks with exercise

To strengthen the muscles of the face, to make its contours clearer, to reduce the cheeks, to tighten the skin after losing weight, facial gymnastics, or face fitness, will help. But at least for the first time, it is better to perform exercises with an experienced trainer: wrong exercises can only aggravate the situation!

This 10-15-minute workout seems to be especially effective for us: sometimes a visible result can be obtained in a month!

  • “Oslik”. Slightly push the chin forward, cover the upper lip with the lower lip. Raise the corners of your mouth, and then the chin itself. In this case, the tongue should rest against the sky. In this position, count to 10, then return to the starting position. Repeat 10 times.

  • “Hamster”. Puff out your cheeks. Use your tongue to move air from one cheek to another, the air flow should be over the upper teeth. Try to do this as slowly as possible for 10 seconds. Repeat 10 times.

  • “Wolf”. Close your teeth and lips tightly. Count to 10, then, opening your teeth, push your lower jaw slightly forward. Then a little more and a little more – as far as possible. Hold this position for 5 seconds. Repeat 10 times.

  • “Cheshire Cat”. Try to smile as you press your index, middle, and ring fingers into your cheeks. Overcome the resistance for 5 seconds and then return to the starting position. Repeat 10 times. Often this exercise is performed so that appetizing apples appear on the cheeks.

  • “Fish”. Depict a fish by strongly pulling in your cheeks. Try to smile at the same time, feel how tense the muscles of the cheeks are. Hold this position for 10 seconds. Repeat the exercise 10 times.

If exercise is not for you, or you can’t find a face fitness trainer, you can try meditation. “Buddha Smile” Sit comfortably, close your eyes and try to imagine a smiling Buddha. And then copy his facial expression. You will notice how the muscles of the face gradually relax, the negative facial expressions go away – the corners of the mouth rise, the wrinkles on the forehead smooth out. If you perform the exercise daily, very soon the face will become smiling and toned.

Taping

It is also called passive lymphatic drainage due to the effect that can be obtained in a short time. The cosmetologist glues fixing strips of cotton (teips) on the face, which affect the muscles and the lymphatic system. With taping, you can:

  • enhance lymphatic drainage;

  • “wake up” the muscles;

  • increase the effectiveness of cosmetic procedures.

By the way, the tapes do not have to be glued to the face. Sometimes they are used on the cervicothoracic spine, on the line of the shoulders and even behind the ears. It is believed that these zones are responsible for posture, the presence of a second chin and facial wrinkles.

Only an experienced master can perform taping. Some try to repeat the experience at home, using conventional patches. It can be dangerous, at best pointless. Need experience and knowledge.

How to reduce cheeks and “make” cheekbones with the help of a beautician

Demand creates supply, and there are a lot of facial cosmetic procedures designed to reduce large cheeks. They can be divided into several groups.

Massage

Sculpting, lymphatic drainage … Moreover, as he says Maria Nevskaya, lymphatic drainage in this case will be even more effective: unlike sculpting, it not only improves blood circulation, but also quickly relieves swelling and, importantly, has fewer contraindications. It happens that massage helps not only to get rid of the cheeks, but also visually lose five to ten years!

Plastic surgery

One option is to remove Bish’s lumps, we have already mentioned this. And then there are all kinds of braces, “threads”, etc. All of them remove plump cheeks for both men and women for several years.

Injection techniques

Fillers are sometimes compared to eyebrow or lip tattoos: they allow you to highlight for several months what we emphasize every day with the help of decorative cosmetics. With a competent and careful approach, cardinal changes should not be expected, but the face will look fresher and toned.

Hardware methods

There are a lot of them. To choose the right one, consult a cosmetologist – he must collect your complete “aesthetic history” and offer the most effective and least traumatic procedure for the skin and tissues.
