Peanut-Shaped Face! Filler vs. Fat Grafting

What Would a Plastic Surgery Specialist Choose?

The cheekbones stick out noticeably,

while the temples and cheeks are sunken in,

making the face shape look like a peanut.

This so-called “peanut-shaped face”

is an unseen source of stress for many people.

In particular, as people get older, experience rapid weight changes,

or go through dental correction, for example,

the symptoms can become more pronounced as facial fullness decreases.

Even if the face itself is not large, the contours can look unnatural,

which is a major reason a person may seem severe

or appear older than their age.

That is why many people with a peanut-shaped face

end up wondering whether to get filler in the temples

or choose fat grafting.

The two representative procedures for filling in hollow temples

and smoothing the face line are

filler and fat grafting.

Both procedures are excellent at restoring volume

and softening the cheekbone line,

but they show clear differences

in method, duration, and characteristics.

I was actually curious about this too,

so I looked up many papers.

But each side said

those who do filler

said filler is better,

and those who do fat grafting

said fat grafting is better,

and satisfaction levels were similar.

Personally, among these methods,

I tend to prefer filler a little more.

The reason is

the anatomical characteristics of the temple area.

The temple area is basically not a place with large muscles

or a lot of fat.

The temple has a thin fat layer,

so when fat grafting is done,

the survival rate can be somewhat lower,

and if the fat does not take evenly,

there is a risk that it may look uneven.

On the other hand, filler uses a highly viscous product

that can be injected into the exact layer you want

in the exact amount you want,

making contour correction much more precise and predictable.

For a natural facial contour,

filler may be more advantageous when designing by

building volume little by little.

However, the important thing is

the choice that is right for you.

By consulting with an experienced specialist and considering the line from the forehead to the cheekbones and jawline,

the key is to design the appropriate volume in the temples.

Through an in-depth consultation with medical staff

who have sufficient experience,

I hope you find your own optimized

solution for escaping a peanut-shaped face.

Thank you.
