Who now remembers that after the release of the film “The Mask” Cameron Diaz was called “a simple but sweet girl with round cheeks”? Angelina Jolie was also chubby at the beginning of her career. Now, looking at these aristocratic beauties, no one will think of the image of a “simple girl from the next yard.”
Thanks for this we should say to the high cheekbones with the effect of sunken cheeks. They are the ones who give the face a “thoroughbred” look.
But what if you didn’t get such a treasure from nature? Fat on your cheeks is ruining your life, and you are ready to give everything to make your cheeks thin?
In this article we will tell you what to do to make your cheeks thinner - we will reveal the secrets of Cameron and Angelina, ranging from cosmetic tricks to modern means of plastic surgery.
Makeup that hides round cheeks in a few minutes
Let's say you have your dream date scheduled for tomorrow. Or an interview at your dream company. Or just an important event. You want to look good, but your cheeks, cheeks...
How to get rid of full cheeks, as they say, on the run? There are techniques that can visually change the shape of the face
.
To begin, stand in front of the mirror, move your hair away from your face and look at it carefully. Most likely, with full cheeks, your face is round. This means that our task is to visually narrow it a little so that the thick cheeks do not catch the eye.
Determine the ideal shape of your face that we will strive for. There is a universal rule in makeup: dark appears smaller, and light appears larger. Therefore, we will hide the fullness of the cheeks using powder or foundation in dark shades.
Expert advice:
“Before you start creating, assess the condition of your skin. If it is dry, prefer foundation. If oily, stop with powder.
Apply the foundation to your face following the pattern.
The tone you use to make your cheeks smaller should be slightly darker than the natural tone of your face, and it must be carefully shaded, otherwise, instead of hiding the problem area, ineptly applied cosmetics, on the contrary, will attract unnecessary attention to it.”
Olga Romanova, makeup artist.
After evening out your skin tone with powder or foundation, take blush. You should apply a lighter shade of blush on the upper part of your cheekbones, and a darker shade below. The shade of blush depends on your color type: choose shades of dark clay or chocolate. However, any will do, depending on what color on your face seems most natural. One “but” is categorical for everyone - blush should be matte
. You don’t want your already round cheeks to sparkle like balls on a Christmas tree, do you?
It is very important to use a soft brush to make a smooth transition from the top of the cheekbones to the bottom. Blend from the cheeks to the cheekbones - this way the colors will fall more naturally. Apply a thin layer of powder on top. Voila! Your cheeks appear much smaller than they originally were.
You can enhance the effect with your hairstyle. In order to visually reduce the lower third of the face, you just need to enlarge the upper third, that is, choose a haircut whose silhouette expands upward. Sharp strands combed forward will perfectly hide everything that needs to be hidden. If you have long hair, then a cascading haircut or a lush, high styling would be a good solution. But you shouldn’t comb your hair smoothly back away from your face - this will only emphasize the fullness of your cheeks.
Lipolitics
This word may be new to your vocabulary, but it and its meaning are worth paying attention to if you are faced with the problem in question. These remedies help not only get rid of chubby cheeks and double chin, but also solve the problem of how to remove sagging cheeks. The preparations, which are injected into problem areas, contain components that promote the breakdown of subcutaneous fats with their subsequent transformation into energy. In addition to these components, the products contain elastin, collagen, hyaluronic acid, and caffeine. Thanks to these components, blood flow and lymph flow are stimulated, metabolic processes are normalized, and the mechanism of synthesis of natural collagen and elastin is launched.
This effect of lipolytics allows you to get rid of the fat layer, tighten the skin, due to which the oval of the face is corrected.
How to lose weight in your cheeks with diet
Full cheeks are often the result of general obesity or an impaired water-salt balance in the body. In this case, the recipe is obvious - lose weight and your cheeks will go away.
Expert comment:
“There are many diets; it is better to choose the option that is suitable for you together with your doctor. And it’s very good if you can change your eating behavior.
Let me share my experience: drink water. When the body does not have enough water, it tends to store it in reserve, and uses “reservoirs” in the cheeks and under the eyes for this. Are your eyes swollen? Do your cheeks seem swollen? Drink water! Not juices, not mineral water, but pure water, at least 2 liters per day. In a few days you will feel the difference."
Andrey Iskornev.
To restore water balance, eliminate salt and sugar from your diet, which accumulate water and store it in reserve in the area of our long-suffering cheeks.
Try not to add salt to your food - and you will quickly
make sure that this does not make it less tasty. But more useful - yes, and much more.
Everything that has been said about salt applies no less to alcohol. Do without alcohol, salt and sugar - not only your cheeks, but also your heart, blood vessels, brain and nervous system will thank you.
What should you include in your diet? Fiber (vegetables and fruits) and calcium. The latter is best consumed not in the form of fatty cheeses, but in the form of cottage cheese, kefir and yogurt.
Symptoms
Hernias under the eyes can be recognized by the following signs:
- decreased visual acuity;
- increased lacrimation;
- swollen areas of skin under the eyes do not decrease or increase during the day or when drinking large amounts of water;
- the skin of the eyelids, under which hernias form, takes on a bluish or reddish, plum color;
- the vascular network may more or less appear on the skin of the eyelids.
such hernias also form above the eye - then from the outside it seems that the person’s eye shape is reduced and the swelling affects the periocular area in a circle.
Keep in mind! For the vast majority of people, this problem appears only under the eyes.
Inhale deeply, arms wider!
Many people, having decided to remove excess volume, begin to look for exercises for losing weight on the cheeks of the face - and they do find them, although such exercises do not exist.
Fat really burns in the “furnace” of our muscles. But the largest muscles on the body are the leg muscles and back muscles. Tensing your facial muscles will only burn a couple of calories, while tensing your legs and back will burn several hundred. Therefore, the same general exercises that help to lose weight in general are effective against the cheeks.
Supplement a healthy diet with physical activity. The recipe is simple: when a person consumes more calories than he expends, he gains weight; when the same amount, his weight remains the same; when less, he loses weight. There is no other way to lose weight and cannot be.
Expert comment:
“By the way, while losing weight, you will still need exercises for your cheeks. But not really for weight loss. Their job is to strengthen your muscles and prevent your skin from sagging after you lose weight. Everything is suitable for this purpose: you can puff out and retract your cheeks, do self-massage, and also smile! Smiling is an excellent exercise, as it engages the muscles of the cheeks, and it is also an amazingly effective remedy for fatigue, blues and stress.”
Maxim Vasiliev, plastic surgeon.
To consolidate the effect, freeze herbal infusions in ice trays and wipe your face with ice cubes in the morning and evening after washing. Herbs for infusion - chamomile, St. John's wort, mint, celandine, sage, yarrow, linden blossom. The infusion is made simply: a tablespoon of herb is poured into a glass of boiling water, infused for about half an hour, and filtered.
This phyto-hardening makes the skin fresher and tightens the muscles.
Causes
Need to know! The causes of the formation of infraorbital hernias can be:
- severe and/or frequent stress and nervous exhaustion;
- genetic predisposition;
- constant long-term exposure to the sun;
- hormonal disorders in the body;
- large lacunae due to the atypical structure of the skull;
- constant consumption of large amounts of salt, fats and smoked foods;
- smoking and frequent drinking;
- work associated with constant strain on the visual organs;
- chronic lack of sleep and constant overwork.
For most people, even in the absence of the above problems, hernias under the eyes still appear sooner or later.
But if you notice these changes in time, you can take appropriate measures to significantly slow down such pathological processes.
How to remove fat from cheeks without effort
The result of using home remedies depends only on your persistence. Unfortunately, it is unstable and disappears as soon as you relax.
If you want a guaranteed result, pay attention to cosmetic and medical ways to remove thick cheeks. They help even in the most difficult cases, for example, when one cheek is thicker than the other .
It turns out that round cheeks have three different causes. That is why losing weight does not always help - only in one case out of three. However, first things first.
- Excess subcutaneous fat
In order to get rid of large cheeks in this case, you need to lose weight or use lipolytics. They are injected under the skin using mesotherapy and visibly remove subcutaneous fat, revealing clear, sculpted cheekbones.
Expert comment:
“To get rid of fat on the cheeks, I recommend paying attention to two excellent products: Michelangelo and the INNO-TDS Draining ppc cocktail.
Both drugs are very effective, extremely safe and are produced in European Union plants. In the Eurozone, they share the title of “lipolytic No. 1.”
Anna Smirnova, dermatocosmetologist.
- Lumps of Bisha
Bisha's lumps are the same fatty bodies that are “responsible” for the infantile roundness of the cheeks in infants. In most cases, they become invisible with age, but sometimes this does not happen, and an unpleasant effect of voluminous cheeks is created. In this case, it is recommended to remove Bisha's lumps.
“Before” and 10 days “after” rhinoplasty (surgeon Mkhitar Meloyan) and removal of Bisha lumps (surgeon Andrey Iskornev). The lower third of the face stretched out, the heaviness of the cheeks went away. The face looks lighter and more harmonious.
“Before” and 6 months “after” the procedure - a photograph from the patient’s private archive. Surgeon: Vasiliev Maxim.
This operation is a very effective way to harmonize the face.
Expert comment:
“Removing Bisha's lumps takes 30 to 40 minutes under local or general anesthesia. However, in order for a doctor to prescribe this procedure for you, you need to be over 25 years old and not overweight.
Sometimes the doctor does not remove fat from Bisha’s lumps, but moves it upward - this allows him to “sculpt” clearer and more voluminous cheekbones.
To enhance the effect, for patients over 45 years of age, we recommend removing Bisha’s lumps as part of SMAS lifting, followed by Melsmon mesotherapy to lighten and tighten the skin.”
Salim Ragimov, plastic surgeon.
Why do such violations occur?
Most often, such defects are the result of age-related changes. Over time, the amount of collagen in human subcutaneous tissues decreases, as well as the intensity of its production. And the long and strong fibers that this protein forms serve as a kind of frame that secures the soft tissues of the face. It is this “reinforcing” collagen network that allows our skin to remain smooth and elastic, successfully resisting gravity. Accordingly, with age-related collagen deficiency, wrinkles appear more and more often, and soft tissue sagging occurs.
Often, another reason for large and sagging cheeks is excess body weight. The cheeks and chin are the so-called fat depots of our body, places where deposits accumulate especially intensively. Finally, enlargement and sagging of the cheeks can occur due to facial swelling. This disorder is a symptom of various diseases of the renal and cardiovascular systems.
French massage technique
You can reduce your cheek size not only through exercise. French cosmetologist Evelyn Ganter-Pechot developed a massage method at home.
She identified massage lines that need to be influenced by soft stroking actions. During the procedure, do not pinch or press the skin.
The exposure time should, as a rule, be at least 30 minutes. Despite the fact that massage is not difficult to perform, the results are very effective.
In this video, Oksana Levina, a professional cosmetologist and massage therapist, tells how to remove cheeks. If you watch the video to the end, you will find out how gymnastics helps and what massage to use to reduce the volume of your cheeks. You will see how to lose weight in your face, remove swelling and how to make cheekbones. All this can be done at home.
If you devote only 15-20 minutes a day to yourself, you can maintain a young and toned face for many years. Beauty does not require a surgical scalpel, it needs daily attention. Do exercises for your cheeks, love yourself and all your efforts will be successful. See you again!

Home Remedies to Reduce Chubby Cheeks
To improve your facial contour, you don’t have to buy expensive creams and serums. Home remedies made from natural products are no less effective. You can tighten the skin, thereby reducing the size of your cheeks, with special masks, lotions and compresses.
Masks
Toning, tightening and moisturizing components are used for masks. The following types of popular masks are distinguished:
- Egg. Beat the whites until foamy and apply for 10 minutes. A lifting mask tightens the skin, so after it you need a nourishing cream.
- Yeast. Add 1 egg to 15 g of yeast, 1 tbsp. l. olive oil and milk, 1 tsp. liquid honey and rice flour. Keep the resulting mass on your face for 15 minutes.
- Lemon. Mix 1 tbsp. l. cooked oatmeal, 1 tsp. lemon juice and honey. Apply the mask for 10 minutes.
Note! Lemon mixture, in addition to toning the skin, removes pigment spots well.
Masks tighten the skin, remove swelling and swelling from the face. They need to be applied in turn - once a week. It is important to ensure that they do not contain components that can cause an allergic reaction.
Lotions
To tone and maintain elastic skin, lotions help to wipe the skin after morning and evening washing. Instead of store-bought options, you can use herbal infusions. Chamomile, sage and St. John's wort have beneficial properties for the skin. To do this, dried plants are poured with boiling water and left under the lid for several hours. Afterwards, the broth is filtered and poured into a clean container. Homemade lotion is ready. Store it in the refrigerator.
Another way to use tonic is to pour the infusion into ice cube trays and place it in the freezer. Their use helps to effectively eliminate swelling on the face.
Compresses
Herbal infusions are used for facial compresses. To do this, soak a piece of cloth in the broth, place it on your face and lie with it for 15 minutes. After it, the skin will become more elastic.
Another type of compress is with salt. Dissolve 2 tbsp. l. in 0.5 liters of water. Dip a towel into the heated liquid and then place it on your face for a few minutes. Then cool the covers with ice cubes. This compress tones the skin well.
To get a narrow face, you must first visit the dentist
But not at all for the reason for which Cher did it.
One of the common reasons for a wide face is a low bite and worn teeth. As a rule, the problem in this case is accompanied by crunching and pain in the jaw joint, headaches.
To solve the problem, the dentist raises the bite with crowns, removes excess load from the jaw joint and returns the correct contours to the face.
The face becomes narrower. This is what faces with a low bite (on the left) and a normal bite (on the right) look like.
