If you’re asking yourself, “Why are my cheekbones so big?” we may have the answer. The skin, bones, and subcutaneous fatty tissue lose volume as we age<\/strong>. Due to volume loss around the cheeks, the cheekbones could appear big<\/strong>. But there are also a few other reasons your cheekbones could look big.<\/p>\n On the other hand, facial exercises<\/strong> can help you improve your cheekbones<\/strong> and achieve the looks you’ve always wanted. If you’d like to learn more about how face workouts can improve your cheeks, start with a quiz below<\/span>!<\/strong><\/p>\n In this article, you’ll read about the following:<\/p>\n We\u2019ll also cover more about the various benefits of the mewing technique<\/u><\/a> for reducing chubby cheeks. Let\u2019s dive in!<\/p>\n Contents<\/p>\n Basically, cheekbones don’t change with adults \u2013 it’s soft tissue, muscles, and skin that may change. This means that cheekbones do not grow. Instead, a fat layer covers the cheekbones and the whole face.<\/p>\n If the reflection in the mirror is prominent cheekbones, you likely have an extra weight overall. But as we said, there are other reasons your cheekbones might be bigger.<\/p>\n As we age, the thickening of the facial bones will change our appearance. Also, soft tissue changes with age, and it may make an appearance that your cheeks become bigger.<\/p>\n Gaining weight in your face is typically a symptom of overall weight gain. It will cause your face to look chubby. So, your oval face can be caused by extra fat deposits accumulating around the face’s sides.<\/p>\n The bone structure and facial muscles may also contribute to a moon face (a full and round face) or chubby jowls. Also, overdeveloped masseter muscles between your cheekbones and jaw can make a face look fuller.<\/p>\n Losing weight can also alter the facial shape. When people lose fat, the cheekbones become more visible. So, weight loss draws attention to your cheekbones, making them appear more prominent than all other facial features.<\/p>\n You may have bigger cheekbones because your body retains too much water. Fluid retention can occur for various reasons, one of which is dehydration. They store extra water when the body feels that there aren’t enough fluids. That excess fluid may travel to various parts of our bodies, such as the face.<\/p>\n You should also know that foods high in sodium usually cause fluid retention, making your face swell and appear much chubbier and rounder than it is. So, limit your intake of salty and fatty foods.<\/p>\n The number of fat cells in each body part is determined by genetics. For example, you may have a chubby face because one of your parents has the same feature. The facial bone structure also influences your overall appearance.<\/p>\n More prominent cheekbones might be caused by your unconscious habit of grinding your teeth. The muscles surrounding the jaw become more apparent as a result, making your face appear sharper. So, try to limit the teeth grinding whenever possible.<\/p>\n You can have high or low cheekbones. The cheekbones, especially the malar bones, are the structure beneath our skin. High cheekbones are defined as having malar bones near the eyes. Low cheekbones are malar bones close to the nose.<\/p>\n You can quickly determine the location of the cheekbones. You only need a mirror and good lighting. Put the thumbs on the tragus, the “nub” area of cartilage over the ear canals. It’s helpful if your face is clean, without any makeup. Then, with the index finger, press your nostrils together. Draw the index finger and thumb slowly across the face until they touch.<\/p>\n To complement your cheekbone structure, learn effective methods to get rid of puffy cheeks<\/a>.<\/p>\n Now, let’s make a high and low cheekbones comparison<\/u><\/a>. You have low cheekbones if they are at the bottom of the nose. You have high cheekbones if it is directly beneath the eyes, nearly to the area where the nose bridge starts.<\/p>\n There is also a simple technique for identifying your cheekbones when applying makeup. First, draw a line from the mouth corner to the earlobe with a brush. This is the beginning of the cheekbone. Now take the brush to your tragus, the fleshy area above the earlobe, which is the end. You should apply bronzer to the hollows of the cheekbones.<\/p>\n Genetic background and ethnic history significantly impact how our faces are structured. But some cultures consider specific facial characteristics, like high cheekbones, to be indicators of attractiveness. If you want to learn why high cheeks are considered to be attractive<\/u><\/a>, you can check out our other posts.<\/p>\n Besides hormones and genetics contributing to a chubby face and chubby cheeks, there are plenty of natural and surgical ways to do that, and we will explain the ones that are most used today.<\/p>\n The following methods are proven to change facial appearance as they will enable you to modify your facial muscles, regulate circulation in your facial area, help your skin look healthier and tighter, etc.<\/p>\n Mewing is a non-surgical method that can reshape the jawline and correct posture. Besides exercises for your jawline<\/a> and posture, this method involves activities that can reshape the whole facial muscle construction, including the area around the cheekbones. So, you can lose face fat and change the cheekbones and facial structure.<\/p>\n Mewing can improve your cheekbones and facial structure, but you need to be patient \u2013 the results don\u2019t come overnight.

However, we recommend consulting a board-certified plastic surgeon to evaluate whether you’ll benefit from the surgery.<\/p>\n The most common type is cheekbone reduction or buccal fat removal. This is a plastic surgery that removes the fat in the cheekbone area. Removing the fat will highlight the face’s bone structure, particularly the cheekbones and the area between the jawline and cheeks.<\/p>\n The buccal fat pads are a rounded fat mass in the middle of your cheeks. They are between the facial muscles in the hollow area under the cheekbones. Their size influences the shape of your face. Plastic surgeons remove the buccal fat pads in the cheeks during the surgery, making your cheeks thinner and the facial angles more defined.<\/p>\n Additionally, it’s also possible to do buccal fat exercises<\/a> to help tone and sculpt the cheeks.<\/p>\n The secret trick of losing face fat is as simple and annoying as losing weight anywhere else: improved diet and exercise. So, try to eat healthily and incorporate some full-body exercises. And if you have fat cheeks, you probably struggle with a double chin, too, so you can check out our how-to guide on tightening the skin that is under your chin<\/u><\/a>.<\/p>\n However, remember that facial exercises like mewing, jaw flex, and other facial yoga exercises can also help. So it’s highly suggested to mix both types of exercises. A losing the cheek fat tutorial<\/u><\/a> can also be helpful in the process.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/span><\/p>\n\n
