The face is one of the many areas to where fat accumulates during weight gain. Chubby cheeks and double chins are usually the common complains of people suffering from facial fat. Having chubby cheeks may look good for some individuals; but for others, it may appear as if their cheeks are being inflated like that of a small beach ball. Double chins are considered an eye sore for some and it does not fit on any facial structures; so it needs to be taken off. Removing fat off the face is quite a tricky process. It needs a little bit of hard work for those who do it using the natural method; and a huge budget for those who opt to go with the invasive method (surgery). Losing facial fat takes time, but certain procedures does help in trimming and firming up the face.

Things You'll Need:

    Overall Health

  1. Step 1

    Exercise to burn overall body fat. Regular exercise leads to a leaner body and of course a leaner face. So burn those calories off and do some aerobic exercises such as jogging or brisk walking. Exhibit an active lifestyle for a slimmer face and body.

  2. Step 2

    Eat right by adding more fiber in your diet. Fill yourself up with some fresh vegetables and fruits to keep you lean and healthy.

  3. Step 3

    Constantly hydrate your system with 8 glasses of water everyday. Puffy cheeks are sometimes caused by bloating, which is a body’s reaction to water deprivation. So drink your way up to a leaner face.

  4. Step 4

    Reduce your intake of alcohol and go for drinking milk instead. Alcohol is known to put on calories on your body, while drinking 1200 milligrams of milk everyday is known to help reduce fat. So make the right choice for a slimmer you.

  5. Step 5

    Watch your salt intake. Salt is an active ingredient that causes bloating or water retention. Avoid salty foods and eat healthy ones instead. If you need to add salt on your recipe, do it with a salt shaker or sprinkle it with your hand instead of a spoon. This way you can control the amount of salt on your food.

  6. Step 6

    Do your make up with an aim of making your cheeks and chin look slimmer; and a hairstyle that will help in making your face look leaner instead of being round.

  7. Step 7

    Schedule for a facial massage at your favorite spa; this will be like a facial workout with the spa as your gym. Massage helps to increase the metabolism of your face making it leaner and evenly toned. You can also buy your favorite facial products and perform your own facial massage. Be sure to always direct your massage upward when doing any type of strokes.

  8. Step 8

    Go invasive if you chose too. Consult an expert surgeon for a buccal fat extraction or facial liposuction. These procedures involve removal of excess facial fat on the cheeks and chin that will give you a slimmer facial structure.

  9. Cheek Muscle Exercises

  10. Step 1

    Constantly wear a natural smile as often as you can remember. Execute it with either smiling with your lips closed or smiling with your teeth showing.

  11. Step 2

    Face the mirror and try to touch your nose with your upper lip by protruding it upward. As you do this, elevate the corners of your lips and contract your cheeks up to your eyes. Hold this entire position for 10 seconds and then relax. Repeat this procedure five times.

  12. Step 3

    Perform an exaggerated smile in front of the mirror. Close your lips and smile as wide as you can, as if you are trying to touch both your ears with the corners of your mouth. Hold this position for 8 to 10 seconds and relax. Repeat this procedure five times.

  13. Step 4

    Close your lips and do a natural smile. Then suck both your cheeks as in doing the “fish face." Hold this position for 5 to 8 seconds and relax. Repeat this procedure 5 times.

  14. Step 5

    Begin with mouth closed. Puff your right cheek, hold it for 8 to 10 seconds and relax. Do the same for the left cheek and repeat this procedure five times for each side.

  15. Ways to Get Rid of a Double Chin

  16. Step 1

    Start by curling your lower lip inward and position it over your bottom teeth. Open your mouth wide and then move your jaw up and down. Keep on doing this motion for as long as you can tolerate and then relax.

  17. Step 2

    Do some chin slap by continuously tapping your chin with the dorsal part of your hand (the back part of the hand opposite to the palm). Repeat this motion for as long as you can tolerate and do this procedure for as often as you can remember.

  18. Step 3

    Chew some gum. This can be of good help to trim up your double chin.

  19. Step 4

    Begin by sitting upright with mouth closed. Turn your head up to look at the ceiling, and then elevate your lower lip over your upper lip as far as you can, until you feel a contraction on your chin area. Hold this position for 5 to 8 seconds and relax. Repeat this procedure five times.
