If you feel that your face is carrying more weight than you'd like, it is possible to change its appearance. Lose weight from your face by maintaining a healthy overall body weight through diet and exercise, and try toning the muscles of your face with some facial exercises. For a quick fix, you can also use makeup to minimize the appearance of larger areas of your face. Targeting your face alone is impossible if you need full body weight loss or if your genetics simply granted you a heavier face, but with informed and dedicated effort, it's still possible to slim down your face.
1 Look in the mirror. If you have a normal size body but feel that your face is not slim, consider whether you might have a distorted notion of your proportions.
Look at closely related family members. Do they have the same facial proportions as you? You may have a genetic predisposition to a certain layout of weight around your face. Also, some forms of facial chubbiness may be related to your youth and "puppy fat" tends to pass with aging.
Ask people you can trust to be honest to you. Do they think your face is chubby or do they think it is appropriately proportioned?
Is your face "puffy", as opposed to being fat? Puffiness can be caused by poor nutrition, salty foods, lack of sleep, alcohol or drug intake, medical conditions, lack of exercise, etc.
Talk to your doctor. He or she will be able to reassure you as to what facial fat proportions are appropriate. Also, your doctor can discard possible problems such as edema (swelling).
2 Check your posture. Slumping posture can cause an appearance of a fatter face by forcing a double chin look. Any fat you do have will simply shift to the most comfortable placement and if your posture pushes your neck and chin downward, this may fatten your face.
Stand and sit up straighter, so as to align your spine properly. Ask for help from a physiotherapist or doctor if you're not sure how you should be standing or sitting to ensure good posture.
Breathe deeply. It is harder to slump when you breathe more deeply, as you need to straighten up to fill with air.
Remind yourself to hold your shoulders back, tilt your head and chin up more and look people in the eyes.
Posture improving exercises exist; ask your physiotherapist for more details or check online sources. Pilates, yoga and similar exercises will help too.
Good overall nutrition for your body impacts your face as well.
1 Eat healthily. Restrict the amount of calories you consume to those needed for a person of your height, gender and age. Calorie tables are available from government authorities responsible for nutrition information in your country. Or, ask your doctor for advice appropriate to you.
2 Lose weight if you're overweight. When you lose body fat, you will also lose fat around your face. Be aware that it isn't possible to target one zone of the body for weight loss––when losing weight, the whole body, including the face, will be impacted. By following a nutritionally balanced diet to lose weight, along with regular exercise, you should find any unwanted facial fat reduces as well.
It is important to discuss dieting with your doctor, to ensure that you follow a well-balanced diet and avoid fad dieting that can harm your body.
Cardiovascular exercises and strength training are best for weight loss and toning.
Eat plenty of fiber and leafy green vegetables. Avoid foods high in sugar and fat.
Try to avoid alcohol or minimize its consumption drastically. Alcohol contains non-nutritious calories and dehydrates your body too. Dehydration can cause your face to appear bloated.
3 Keep well hydrated. Having sufficient water intake will help you to flush out excess sodium that may be creating puffiness in your face.[1] Adequate water will also help to flush out toxins in the body that may be contributing to an unhealthy pallor.
