Tips for making the midface look shorter

When the midface looks long,

let’s look into tips that can

make you look attractive

even without surgery.

Even a pretty person

can have a long or short midface,

a face that looks attractive

is not determined by just one factor.

What matters is

realistic improvement.

It means finding ways to

look more attractive without surgery.

This is a case where the actual length is not long,

but it looks long.

Even when the proportions themselves are normal at 1:1,

there are people who look long.

I think the reason for that is

the “3D center of gravity.”

The key is where the center point of the

front cheekbone volume is located.

If you look at pretty celebrities,

the shape of the front cheekbone volume takes on an upside-down triangle,

and the highlighted area

is located higher up and farther to the side.

The length stays the same,

but the position of the volume creates an optical illusion.

So for people like this,

the simplest way to address it without surgery is

“adding volume.”

In East Asians, the cheekbone shape itself often

has a flatter front area,

so people whose area below the pupil under the eye is flat

often feel as though their midface looks longer.

If you add volume to these lacking areas

with methods such as fillers or fat grafting,

you can adjust the effect so the face looks

shorter or less long.

The most important thing is

to do it “not excessively.”

As aging progresses, the lower volume can look more pronounced,

and if too much filler is added on top of that,

it can look swollen both above and below,

as if it is sagging.

Gently filling in a little at a time

is a good way to improve the 3D appearance

that makeup cannot cover.

Around your mid-30s,

many people worry that their “face looks sunken” or “looks long,”

and

for areas where volume has decreased,

fillers or fat grafting are of course helpful.

Because you are replenishing what was lost.

But if you add volume to tissue that has already loosened,

the face can look bigger

and unnatural.

In such cases, procedures like “thread lifting,”

which pull up sagging tissue,

can be very helpful.

What many people want is

to look different without it being obvious!

The best reaction is when people say,

“Something changed, but I’m not sure what,”

and that is the difficult part.

Thread lifting works by pulling soft tissue upward

and fixing it to a firm retaining ligament.

When you want the loosened, moving areas

to lift up,

thread lifting can be much more satisfying than fillers.

When there is a lot of volume

but the midface looks long,

I usually recommend “Ulthera.”

If the fat layer is somewhat loose,

using Ulthera energy

to tighten it up

can create a shrinking effect.

In particular, the fat layer above the nasolabial area is relatively soft, so

when you gain weight, it easily becomes puffier,

and when tightening is done as aging causes

the tissue to become dull and less firm,

it can have the effect of reducing volume.

There is especially synergy when diet and Ulthera are combined.

I recommend trying Ulthera when you are about 80% of the way through your weight-loss plan,

during the plateau phase.

Even if there is no change in weight,

the face can look smaller,

and

if the people around you react positively,

it becomes motivation to finish the remaining 20%.

Rather than the feeling of becoming smaller because you lost weight,

the stronger effect is the feeling that your elasticity has improved

and your shape has been refined.

In the end, rather than changing the length of the midface,

reducing the fullness of the face

so it looks smaller

is more effective.

When it looks long,

fill the front cheekbone volume to move the center of gravity upward!

(Fillers / fat grafting)

If there is sagging,

pull the loosened tissue upward with thread lifting.

If there is a lot of volume,

use Ulthera to tighten the fat layer and refine the shape.

Worrying that the midface looks long

is no longer just a matter of the bone shape you were born with.

Approach it strategically

according to your own condition,

and find the solution that fits you best.
