 There’s something attractive about heart-shaped faces and how the eyes are highlighted by the face’s width, the nose framed by the cheekbones, and the mouth complimented prettily by a tapering chin.
The good news is that you no longer have to be born with this shape in order to mimic it. When you’re younger, facial width is located higher, at the cheekbones, and tapers appropriately down to the chin; however, as we age, everything falls forward and down. With the short-scar facelift technique, the face can be revolumized and returned to its younger, prettier heart shape. Or, if one was not born with this configuration, cheekbones can be widened with filler or implants; liposuction can help narrow the lower part of the face, and chin augmentation can make the chin, neck and jaw line appear more feminine. Most importantly, the recent advent of revolumization with one’s own fat has revolutionized the creation a face that’s soft and full in all the right places, and angular and tapering in others, thereby restoring lost facial volume and turning back the hands of time. This technique is particularly effective around the mouth, where a sunken oral area often produces vertical lipstick lines, marionette lines around the mouth, and a retracting turned-in upper lip. With an astute eye for balance and natural beauty, Dr. Weintraub can help work with your features and facial structure to get the best possible look for you. Dr. Weintraub’s Viewpoint: Nicole Kidman Nicole Kidman’s alluring eyes are enhanced by the fullness of her upper eyelids, well-defined cheekbones, tight ears, and an overall beautiful heart-shaped face. The cosmetic procedures needed to achieve this look would include an eyelid-volumizing fat transfer, a subtle chin implant, cheek augmentation, and ear realignment (otoplasty).
Dr. Weintraub's opinions should not be taken as fact or medical advice, nor has he necessarily treated this celebrity.
