Chubby cheeks are in fashion. Full cheeks give a youthful look, which is why many people who have less prominent cheeks now want to make them appear fuller. You can try several natural techniques that will make your cheeks appear more plump, or you could undergo plastic surgery to permanently fix the problem.

Steps

Part 1 of 2: Natural Techniques

Step 1. Try facial yoga

You can use simple facial exercises to stimulate circulation in the cheeks and make the skin appear brighter and fuller. You won't develop any extra fat or skin, but your less noticeable cheeks may appear fuller if you do these exercises every day.

• Sit up straight. Sit in a chair with your back straight. Lower your shoulder blades and relax your shoulders so that there is as little tension as possible in that area of the body. The chest should be facing out and open.
• Open your mouth slightly. Imagine that you are talking to someone in a low voice. Open your mouth the way you would in such a conversation. At this point, fold both the lower and upper lips inward to cover the teeth.
• At the same time, suck in the outer corners of the mouth and bring them as close to the molars as possible. Both corners should be pushed in the same direction and at the same level or vertical position on the face. The chin should move slightly forward.
• Hold the position for 30 seconds. You should feel the muscles in your cheeks and mouth pulling. Slowly relax them after 30 seconds.

Step 2. Pinch your cheeks

Do it gently, giving small pinches all over the cheeks. They won't make them fuller, but this exercise will give you a natural blush, and thus they will appear brighter. Brighter cheeks appear fuller than pale ones to the naked eye.

Step 3. Moisturize your cheeks

Use a lotion or moisturizer after every shower and every time you wash your face. Let it absorb into the skin and do not rinse.

• If possible, look for an emollient cream. These creams are specially formulated to soothe the skin, so cheeks will be hydrated and any cracked or damaged skin will be repaired.
• Even if you shower in the morning, it's best to apply more moisturizer before bed.

Step 4. Use a sugar and shea butter scrub

Combine 250ml of melted shea butter with 185g of granular sugar. Let the mixture cool until it solidifies and then apply it to your wet face (use lukewarm water). Leave it on for five minutes before rinsing off with warm water.

• Apply the scrub with gentle, circular movements. Pat the skin dry with a soft towel to dry it when you're done.
• Shea butter is rich in fatty acids, so it improves the elasticity of the skin on the cheeks. As a result, the skin will appear younger and fuller.
• Sugar is a light exfoliant, so it gently removes dead skin cells on your cheeks that would otherwise make your skin appear dull and gaunt.

Step 5. Try the apples

Apples contain many nutrients and vitamins that are good for the skin, so eating them or even applying them to your face works wonders. This fruit contains antioxidants and vitamins A, B and C, and all of these elements help prevent tissue damage and wrinkles. Apples also contain collagen and elastin, which keep the skin soft and firm.

• Red and green apples are the best choice, followed by Braeburns.
• Cut an apple into wedges and use a potato masher or blender to mash it. Then apply it on the face with circular and gentle movements. Leave it on for 15 to 30 minutes before rinsing it off with warm water. Repeat daily.

• Another way to reap the benefits of apples is to make them into a special drink. Combine three slices of apple with baby carrots and 125ml lemon juice. Blend until a homogeneous consistency is obtained. Drink this smoothie every morning until you see results.

  • The potassium in carrots helps the skin not to dry out, and this vegetable also has anti-inflammatory properties that can revitalize and tone the epidermis. Carrots also contain antioxidants and a high percentage of vitamins A and C.
  • Lemon juice gives the skin an extra dose of vitamins A, B and C, as well as other antioxidants.

  

  Step 6. Apply aloe vera

  Apply the aloe vera gel directly on the cheeks, massaging it until absorbed with circular and gentle movements. Do this after a shower, within 30-60 minutes. Repeat daily.

  • Alternatively, you could drink 250ml of aloe juice every morning until you see results. Make sure you drink edible juice.
  • Aloe vera reduces inflammation and increases skin elasticity.

  

  Step 7. Make an equal parts solution of glycerin and rose water

  Apply it in the evening, before going to sleep. Both glycerin and rose water have nourishing and moisturizing properties and can help cheek skin.

  • Glycerin keeps the skin hydrated and can regulate the rate of cell renewal.
  • Rose water soothes irritated skin and hydrates dry skin. It also has mildly antiseptic properties, so it can keep cheek skin healthy and clean without drying or irritating it.

  

  Step 8. Use honey

  Honey helps the skin in several ways. When used topically it acts as a humectant, attracting and trapping moisture into the skin. As a result, the skin appears healthier and firmer. When consumed or used topically, the antioxidants it contains can also protect the skin from irritants and bacteria.

  • One of the simplest ways to use honey is to look for an organic face product that includes it as an ingredient. The product will work even better if it also contains milk cream or yogurt.
  • Another way to use honey is to consume 15ml (1 tablespoon) of it per day.
  • You can also make a honey product yourself. Mix 5ml of honey with 5ml of papaya paste. Apply to your face and let it sit for 10 minutes before rinsing it off with warm water.

  • Another way to use honey is to consume it during breakfast. Mix 250ml of milk, 5g of soft butter, 5g of honey, 10g of grated cheese and 15g of rolled oats. Eat it in the morning, with a glass of orange juice.

    • Milk and other dairy products can moisturize the skin and relieve irritation and redness, and consequently improve the appearance of the epidermis.
    • Vitamin C in orange juice helps prevent wrinkles and makes skin appear younger.

    

    Step 9. Fill up with oil

    Your skin naturally produces oils, which allow it to appear hydrated, fresh and healthy, and cheeks with healthy, glowing skin naturally look fuller. If your body doesn't produce the oils it needs, however, your skin will suffer and your cheeks will appear more sunken.

    • Get some oil in your diet. Cook with a healthy and rich oil, such as olive oil. Consume dried fruit on a daily basis.
    • If you decide to apply the oil locally, you can massage it into your skin after washing and exfoliating your face. Use an oil such as coconut, almond, olive, or avocado oil.

    

    Step 10. Avoid harmful habits

    Specifically, you should avoid drinking alcohol and smoking because in this way the skin loses elasticity. And when the skin loses elasticity, it becomes more flexible and has a sharper appearance, so the cheeks will appear more sunken.

    • Avoid products containing turmeric powder. Many claim that this spice dries up the skin.
    • Put sunscreen on your face to protect your skin from harmful ultraviolet rays. Sun damage can dry out the skin, making cheeks appear dry and rough.

    Part 2 of 2: Make up and Plastic Surgery

    

    Step 1. Create the look with a powder highlighter

    Use a clean, quality makeup brush to apply powder highlighter to the cheekbones and under the brow bone. Apply a veil and use it with your usual make-up. The highlighter will catch the light and make cheeks appear fuller and younger.

    Do not use cotton pads, handkerchiefs or mini brushes to apply the highlighter. They could create an uneven look and as a result the blush would not capture the light well

    

    Step 2. Remove your make-up every night

    Remember to remove all traces of make-up with a wipe or any other type of make-up remover. Specific products for the face or to remove make-up are ideal.

    • If you can go out without wearing makeup, do it. Having your face removed for a couple of days will give the skin a chance to breathe, and as a result the skin on the cheeks will be even healthier.
    • Likewise, avoid too heavy foundations and liquid creams, as they tend to suffocate the skin more than powder or mineral ones.

    

    Step 3. Learn about the surgical technique of lipostructure (autologous fat transfer)

    Talk to a plastic surgeon about procedures that transfer fat from one area of the body to another. Depending on how much fat you have elsewhere on your body and what facial structure you want, you may be able to get fuller cheeks simply by moving the fatty tissues around your face.

    The procedure is permanent. Usually 60% of the fat transferred to the face survives. The fat cells that survive the transplant will continue to work like all other cells in the body and will behave as if they were still in the area of origin

    

    Step 4. Try the injections (refills)

    Injections of transplanted fat or Sculptra can take a little longer, but the procedure is less invasive and the results are longer lasting. Small doses of real or synthetic fat are injected into the skin layers of the cheek through a fine needle. You will need more sessions to get the full cheeks you want.

    • Sculptra injections are usually well tolerated and have a low risk of complications. Injections of grease and silicone, on the other hand, can be a little riskier.
    • Know that you may need further treatment after a few years. This is the case with the Sculptra, which often requires renewal after two years.

    Warnings

    • Remember that most natural techniques will not make cheeks more plump, but skin will be more supple and less prone to wrinkles and looking tight. As a result, the cheeks will appear more plump without really being.
    • All forms of plastic surgery carry risks. Before undergoing surgery, make sure you are aware of all the risks and dangers.
