Recovery period
Tissue swelling goes away 3–4 days after surgery. All this time you need to wear a special compression bandage. After 7–10 days, the stitches are removed, but complete recovery takes about 2 months. During this period, you should stop smoking, visiting saunas and swimming pools.
The result of the intervention will be the correction of the oval of the face, its clearer contours, getting rid of sagging tissue on the cheeks, the disappearance of “jowls”, smoothing out wrinkles and eliminating puffiness.
If you also want to rejuvenate your face and get rid of large sagging cheeks, visit a consultation with the SM-Plastika doctor - he will tell you how to do this most effectively.
Other home methods
Correcting uneven contours of the oval face at home is quite a serious task that requires a lot of effort.
To maintain healthy and elastic skin, you need to adhere to a proper diet and systematically perform certain exercises for facial muscles.
It is very important to take precautions for those with chubby cheeks or those predisposed to obesity. You need to take comprehensive care of your health, and therefore the health of your skin in particular.
Dietitians advise their patients not to lose weight, but to gradually come to a normal and comfortable weight, and then try to maintain it.
To do this, you don’t need to use wonderful and complex settings, but you just need to: eat in such a way that you can stick to this regime throughout your life, and at the same time receive pleasure.
There is no need to do this quickly or urgently. The diet from Monica Bellucci remains ideal in such a situation. She advises eating little, but five to six times a day.
After all, extreme weight loss will lead to even bigger problems; the skin will not have time to tighten and will sag even more in folds.
It is necessary to eat more fruits, vegetables and seafood, do not give up meat, let it only be lean, drink fermented milk products.
But you will have to prohibit yourself from sweets, flour and fast food. Here you absolutely need to remember “no”. Complement your day with a walk or jog in the park, maybe even take up dancing.
The so-called “bulldog” cheeks are adipose tissue that retains fluid, so to reduce them you need to drink, as a rule, 2-3 liters of clean water a day. But salt and sugar need to be limited.
Important Rules
To tighten your cheeks and cheekbones, as well as get rid of Jowls, you should follow the following important rules (the beauty of your skin depends on them):
- do not leave makeup on overnight after a working day or holiday events; it is better to use special cosmetics for this;
- use a facial scrub about 2 times a week, you should not use it more often;
- moisturize your facial skin systematically;
- apply nourishing face masks 2 times a week;
- do not visit the solarium often;
- use special cosmetics suitable for your skin type.
Home Remedies (Available)
To maintain the beauty of your face, you should pay attention to homemade masks. But if any ingredient causes an allergy, it should not be used.
In addition, you can make homemade scrubs. You can prepare this facial product from sour cream and salt. To do this, take 1 tbsp. a spoonful of sour cream and 1 tsp. spoon of salt. This scrub tones your facial skin.
Let's look at how to prepare a homemade mask for excellent skin tightening results:
- Avocado elasticity mask. Take half an avocado, cut out the flesh and mix with 2 tbsp. spoons of honey. After this, apply the resulting mixture to your face and leave for 20 minutes.
- Yogurt mask. Buy natural yogurt and mix with 2 tbsp. spoons of aloe juice. After this, apply to your face and wait 20 minutes.
The proposed measures help maintain the elasticity of the skin, so they will help cope with defects in the early stages of formation.
You can also massage your face during your morning wash. To do this, during bath procedures in the morning, massage your face from bottom to top with your palms; you can also use a towel for this, preferably it is hard. After the massage, apply moisturizer to your face.
To care for the lower part of the neck and chin, you can also use a herbal decoction in the morning. Brew any herb, chamomile, sage, etc. in the evening. In the morning, warm it up, then dip a towel in it, twist it like an accordion, and apply it to your chin.
Next, you sharply need to spread your arms to the side, hitting your chin with a towel. The same actions must be performed on the lower part of the cheeks.
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.
Question answer
If there is slight sagging, then threads are perfect for this situation. But if the skin is very sagging, then you will have to lean towards plastic surgery, since the threads do not remove excess skin.
You need to understand that these products are intended for local elimination of fat. But they do not remove excess skin.
Indeed, such actions are beneficial. As a result, metabolic processes accelerate, the skin becomes more elastic, firmer, tone increases, and even wrinkles become smaller.
Jowl tightening massage
It’s good to complement exercise with a massage. Massage movements will help disperse stagnant blood and lymph, relax muscles and tighten the oval of the face. Thus, the facial skin in problem areas will return to normal.
Stretching the masseter muscle
Spasm of the masticatory muscle has a negative impact on the appearance of jowls and causes sagging skin.
The following massage technique will help relieve spasms and tighten facial tissues (before performing it, it is recommended to apply a rich cream or oil to the skin of the face).
Mentally divide the jaw arch into two halves. Each half needs to be worked on separately. Try to fix the fabric in the middle.
Execution order:
- With one hand, fix the muscle responsible for lowering the corners of the mouth. With two fingers of the other hand, grab the jaw line: the index finger should be on top, the thumb should be under the lower jaw. Make a leading movement with your hand along the jaw line, grabbing the masticatory muscle, to the very corner of the jaw;
- Slowly stretch the jaw arch (see picture on the left);
- Change the position of your hands. Now fix the angle of the jaw and the masseter muscle by running your index finger and thumb firmly along the jaw line, towards the chin. Slowly stretch the jaw arch (see picture to the right).

I would also like to draw attention to peelings. They are mechanical and chemical. After such procedures, the appearance of the face improves, cell renewal and the production of beneficial substances such as collagen and elastin are accelerated. But they help maintain the elasticity of the skin. This is why after peeling the skin tightens a little. But you shouldn’t expect colossal results from them. If you are making homemade masks, then I would advise you to pay attention to components such as egg white, honey, gelatin. They improve skin elasticity.

Surgical methods of correction
The best answer to the question of how to correct large cheeks and the situation where one cheek is larger than the other is plastic surgery. The operation in this case is called chicklifting. Specialists at the SM-Plastic clinic perform it in two ways: traditional and minimally invasive.
The first, traditional option involves access to the soft tissues of the cheek through conventional surgical incisions in the lower eyelid area. Today, 90% of such operations in our medical center are performed using minimally invasive techniques. In this case, all manipulations are carried out through several small punctures of the skin, which significantly shortens the postoperative period. SM-Plastic surgeons often combine surgery to lift sagging cheeks with liposuction (removal of excess fat tissue). In addition, with plastic surgery, you can simultaneously adjust their shape and size using lipofilling. This is especially true if one cheek is larger than the other and it is necessary to achieve symmetry.
The duration of such interventions ranges from 1.5 to 3 hours, and they are performed under both general and local anesthesia - it all depends on the volume of correction.
