I look really young for my age and this is partially due to the cheek fat I have. I'm a real skinny dude if you happened to read my other thread(19 years old, 5'7", 120 lbs, of Asian descent). I've been running for the past few weeks and I have noticed I've lost a little bit of fat, or probably all the fat I could lose at this point. My waist is noticeably skinnier when I put on my jeans. I have lost just a little bit of fat around the sides of my chin but I'm wondering if I could still drop some fat for my cheeks. Is it a genetic thing? Will my cheeks naturally flatten with age? What else could I do at this point? If all else fails, is liposuction a safe option?
It's most likely due to genetics than body weight. Embrace it, OP. If you're keeping yourself healthy yet have a soft facial features, who cares? Don't understand why'd you go through the trouble of getting liposuction. But then again, no one is truly happy with themselves...
Having some fat in the cheeks makes you look younger. Girls like the babyface. Facial fat is difficult to lose (you'd have to starve pretty bad) and even more difficult to get back. Leave it be, I'm sure you look fine.
Cheek bones are genetic and some people have theirs stand out more than others. In order to get a skinny face than you have to have low overall bodyfat. If you want the lance armstrong look than you have to get down to single digit bodyfat. If you are already that skinny and still have a fat face, than it is almost definitely genetics and you can't do much about it. There is no specific technique or exercise to target face fat.
might be an asian thing, i have a female friend that is perfect body, but her face is just round making it look like its fat
When fat gets deposited on certain areas of your face, leading to a rounder, fuller and puffier appearance, it is called face fat. Our face has several layers starting from the bone which gives the face its shape, followed by muscles, then comes fat and the final layer is the skin. It is the fat layer where the face fat is located. Face Exercise And Yoga To Get Rid Of Face Fat Chin Lifts: Lift your chin towards the ceiling and fix your eyes on a spot.
