What makes your face look bigger? Know the best approach for each type!
There are various causes of a large face, including a natural skeletal structure, muscle and fat accumulation, and sagging or swollen skin. To achieve the ideal small face in Hiroshima, let's first check the four types that make the face appear large.
Muscle type" with tight gill muscles
If your gills are hard and raised when you bite down hard on your back teeth, you are of the muscle type. The masseter muscle, which is used to chew food, is overdeveloped due to unconscious habit of clenching or grinding the teeth, or the habit of eating hard food frequently. Result,Face line looks square and large with horizontal tensionwill be.
■"Fat type" with a lot of fat around the cheeks and chin
If you can pinch fat around your cheeks and chin, or if your face tends to show weight gain or loss, you are the fat type. This is due to an increase in subcutaneous fat throughout the body caused by a high-calorie diet, a diet high in carbohydrates and fats, and lack of exercise. Fat tends to accumulate not only on the face but also on the entire body,The face line is rounded and blurred.It is.
■"Sagging type" due to aging and lifestyle
When collagen and elastin, which support skin elasticity, decrease with age, the skin loses its elasticity, gravity causes it to droop, and the face appears larger in the sagging type. The cheeks appear to droop,Characterized by prominent laugh lines, marionette lines, and double chins.It is.
また、紫外線ダメージの蓄積や肌の乾燥、姿勢の悪さ、急激なダイエットもたるみを進行させる要因です。
■"Mixed type" with skeletal distortion and swelling

If you want to get rid of gills, "Erabotox" is the way to go.
Elabotox is recommended for muscle types who are concerned about the width of their facial lines. In this procedure, a botulinum toxin preparation is injected directly into the overdeveloped gill muscles (masseter muscle), temporarily suppressing muscle action and leading to a sharper facial line. Only a short injection is required,Also expected to reduce the burden on the jaw caused by clenchingCan be done.
Liposuction" for firm reduction of facial fat
Liposuction is recommended for those who wish to reduce unwanted fat around the cheeks and chin area. Using a thin tube called a cannula, excess fat cells in the cheeks and under the chin are physically suctioned and removed.
