What is the secret of feminine beauty? In fact, the most important factor in determining feminine beauty is the shape of the face. All women want to look more feminine and feel beautiful. The truth is that when you look at a woman across a room, you don't see her wrinkles (you are too far away), nor her true skin color (she is probably wearing makeup), and you see no sign of her real age. But you clearly see the shape of her face, and based on it you make a decision about her beauty. So how can you look more beautiful and stand out in a room? The answer is that for this you need an oval face with beautiful contours.
Facial beauty from a mathematical perspective
Did you know that the shape of your face is the key to your beauty? An oval face is a desirable quality in many cultures and is considered a symbol of beauty. Now, believe it or not, there is a way to make the shape of your face more beautiful and more feminine without surgery.
In fact, 2 main methods are used to change the form and shape of your face:
1. Anti-wrinkle injections (injectable muscle relaxants) are used to reduce the size of your chewing muscles. In fact, the width of the lower part of your face and jaw is determined by the thickness of this muscle (the masseter). This technique in effect slims the lower part of the face, makes the cheeks more prominent and creates a more feminine look.
2. Dermal fillers are used to lift the chin and widen the cheeks (if needed). This technique creates an oval or inverted triangle.
How do dermal fillers work?
Dermal fillers are injected into specific areas of the face in a specific order to restore balance and symmetry to your face and create the shape you want. After agreeing on the treatment plan, the doctor injects the dermal fillers for you. The good news is that they contain an anesthetic for your maximum comfort. You can also see the results immediately after injection.
What can I expect after filler injection?
As with all injectable treatments, there may be redness and slight pain at the injection site for an hour or more. Also, when having injectable treatments, bruising is always a minor side effect associated with these methods. You can minimize this risk by avoiding alcohol, omega-3 products and anti-inflammatory drugs for 24 hours before treatment.
If you like the idea of a more feminine and more beautiful face shape, it is important to also look at the curve of your cheek. Face slimming is often combined with cheek filler injection to enhance your beauty.
Shaping the face with chin filler
As we age, our face loses volume and the shape of our face changes. Because of the loss of volume, the lower third of the face begins to sag and we look older and more worn. Dermal fillers can help restore the lost volume of youth and create a more beautiful structure for the face.
How can fillers change the shape of the face?
Dermal fillers are effective in restoring contours, which creates a slimmer appearance for our face. The areas to focus on include:
- Temples: The skin around the eyes is one of the first places to lose volume with age. Using fillers to restore their volume reinforces the shape needed to create a slimmer, V-shaped face.
- Cheeks: Elongated cheeks also contribute to a V-shaped face. Whether or not you naturally have elongated cheeks, cheek filler can subtly plump this area, which in turn helps lengthen and contour the face for a slimmer look.
- Chin: Chin filler injection helps lengthen your face and reduce the appearance of a double chin. When your chin becomes more elongated and harmonizes with the rest of the face, your face shape becomes more balanced.
- Jawline: Using filler along the jawline and neck firms the skin and defines the jawline, giving you a slim and defined look.
Assessing face shape is an essential step in planning dermal filler treatment to achieve beautiful, natural results. In fact, different face shapes require different treatment strategies and different focus areas for injection.

Dermal fillers and a heart-shaped face
A heart-shaped face has prominent cheeks and narrows toward the lower face and chin. With age, the face loses its original shape and becomes thinner, and as a result takes on an angular look. In fact, the volumizing effects of dermal fillers are used to achieve heart-shaped faces.

Treatment should focus on the lower third of the face, restoring volume to the tissue under the cheek to help create an angular look. Dermal filler can also be injected strategically into the chin and along the jawline to create an oval shape. If needed, a small amount of dermal filler can be added to the lower cheeks to smooth the nasolabial folds.
Dermal fillers and an oval face
Those who are born with an oval face are lucky because the proportions and symmetry of their face are excellent: the middle of the face (the cheek area) is wider, with the width gradually decreasing toward the chin. However, an oval face may show aging in the under-eye area earlier.

The middle part of the face should be the focal point of treatment. Restoring volume to the tissues of this area with dermal filler along the cheekbone improves the shape of the cheek and the reflection of light on the face. Treating this area indirectly helps several different areas of the face, including the under-eyes, the nasal folds and the jawline. A small amount of filler may also be injected along the jawline and chin to improve the appearance of the jaw and define the jawline.
Dermal fillers and an angular face
A prominent jawline makes the angular/triangular shape of the face more defined. In fact, this face shape has a strong structure in the lower third of the face. Fortunately, this face shape shows aging very late. However, when it does happen, looseness and sagging of the skin along the jawline, neck and under the eyes become apparent.
Filler injection to achieve an angular face
When injecting filler to achieve an angular face, the focus should be on harmonizing the lower half of the face with the upper half. The middle of the face is the injection focus; then filler is injected into the cheeks, under the eyes and, on the lateral side, along the cheekbone. Usually only a small amount of filler is needed in the lower face to reduce the appearance of jowls. If the jaw and facial muscles are large (which is often seen in people who grind their teeth at night), neuromodulators (for example, Botox, Dysport) can help thin the lower face. When Botox is injected into the masseter muscle, the volume of the muscle decreases, and as a result the lower third of the face becomes slimmer and the overall balance of the face improves.
Final note
Good harmony among the components of the face is what makes a face pleasing to everyone. This does not mean complete symmetry, but a balanced proportion of vertical thirds and horizontal fifths. Because of the natural aging process, facial harmony changes due to loss of tissue volume, changes in bone mass and a decrease in the volume of subcutaneous fat tissue. Studies, evaluations and following the natural rules of the ideal face shape all suggest that using dermal filler is the fastest and least complication-prone way to achieve the ideal face shape.
