How do I lose facial fat?

[Anonymous]

I low key have so much baby fat on my face that it bothers me. i mean maybe i'm exaggerating, but either way, I want a more defined jawline, and since there's fat on my chin and cheeks, I want to see that gone too so my face can narrow down. I understand i'm still a teen in the midst of puberty, but seriously... Even at 15, most people lose their baby fat, I haven't. :')
Every time I try to google it, its all these bs facial exercises, by exercises I mean rubbing your face and puckering your lips and making x and o sounds, this doesn't work at all..
I thought maybe lowering my body fat percentage by dieting (1200 calorie diet) would also affect my face considering I can't target weight loss.. Will this work?
And I know its kinda sketch and i'm not a believer but do the facial exercises work? Last of all, are there any other tips? Drinking more water? Does green tea help? Certain foods? other exercises?
If not, by the time I hit my late teens or early twenties is it bound to go away, I mean I got my period @ 14, so it hasn't even been a full 2 years since i started puberty,...

stop eating and start using heroin. Jk.. maybe you've got a selena gomez thing going on. I don't think she will ever not look like a little chipmunk.

Dude, you're 15. I didn't lose my baby fat until I was about 18. It's different for everyone. Enjoy being cute and 15 even though if I was 15 that's the last thing I'd want to hear. Everyone is in such a hurry to grow up and look like a woman. I'd give anything to look like my teens again and just be a kid. Live in the moment and be happy with yourself.

Green tea is a good idea though it really helps slim you down. Ice water too. Eat healthy, eat a lot of alkalizing foods like celery, cucumber and broccoli because they help clean out fat pockets. Exercise is important, don't over do it.

You will eventually lose the baby fat don't worry. One day you'll look back and realize you weren't as fat as you thought you were.

This is extremely good advice! Thank you! You're the first person who's actually ever given me a specific time they lost the baby fat, because it feels to me as if no one had it to begin with or something because everyone i ask is like "I don't know some time in early teens", "never really had it". I'll take your advice with switching off between green tea and ice water in the morning, though i'll probably add lemon to the ice water to boost my immune system, i'll also drink 8-10 cups of water a day, and diet and exercise and eat the alkalizing foods. I'm sure this is bound to help, right lol? Thanks!!

Yes that sounds like a great plan! Also maybe find a multivitamin you can take. Try taking a picture every day of your face every morning. Every month compare the last pic to the first to see if you notice a difference. Don't try to compare every single day because you might get disappointed. We're the ones who see the least difference in ourselves because we're constantly staring in the mirror picking out every single flaw. One day someone might be like have you lost weight? And you may have not noticed it for yourself because you're not seeing a difference personally. Another suggestion is to assess your body type. Google " mesomorph, endomorph, ectomorph" to see which body type you are. This will help you fivure out what kind of exercise is best for you :) good luck!

[Asker]

Thank you so much!!

I was really chubby like last year but I slowly began to lose a little weight without even exercising. Then about 6 months ago I began to train in Krav Maga and the weight dropped off of me. I find that losing weight on my body makes me lose a lot of weight on my face too. A lot of people actually notice my weight loss on my face first. So maybe dieting or trying to exercise more is a good idea? Every one's body is different I suppose, but they're worth a shot I think.
Chewing gum is also said to be a good way to get rid of facial fat, and it doesn't require you to do ridiculous face exercises. (I don't believe facial exercises work, but the gum does seem like it would)
Hope you can get rid of it somehow, but I'm sure you still look fine with it!

[Asker]

I don't believe those facial exercises really work either so we're on the same boat lol, yeah maybe i'll chew like sugar free gum or something!
But i'm already on a 1200 calorie diet with moderate exercise (donkey kicks, crunches, leg raises, thigh raises, that exercise where you draw circles in the air with your legs, mountain climbers, planks, lunges, burpees) and i've been cutting out sweets, fried food, processed foods, only thing is something I cheat a little with the diet... and I forget to drink water lmao, fml.
Thanks though! Since you actually have experience with it I trust your word ^^

[alice55]

You can try losing weight but you ll need to be really underweight (this work but that's not an option that's healthy, I've done it and this make your jawline more defined but none big change).
Or you can work out and do a protein diet ( the same diet as guys do for making their muscle more noticeable). Just reduce your body fat mass and you ll have more fat on your fat since it's generally they first part where people lose their fat.
After your young it's totally normal to have some fat on your face, I'm 19 and still look 15, my face haven't change even if i'm a bit underweight.

[Asker]

Alright, thank you! Yeah i guessed that if i lowered my body fat percentage it would go down, aw i'm sorry you still look 15. But you'll appreciate your younger appearance as you age

[alice55]

Yes, it's better to look young that look old even if it can be troublesome sometime ^-^

I don't know if u can lose body fat from a specific area without working out all ur body. But I know that some girls and friends that have "baby" faces are adorable! Lol. But working out and good dieting does the trick if u want to lose fat. Although u will be losing from all parts of your body that u can't control lol

[Asker]

yeah, i'm already on a 1200 calorie diet with regular daily exercise & cardio!

[Opinion Owner]

😅 I don't know that calories in take. I just eat when I'm hungry and reduce the fat intake. Unm... Is that number supposed to be normal, good or bad?

[Asker]

Well a normal person eats 2000 calories a day.
But healthy foods like vegetables and grilled white meats (like chicken) and eggs, etc. all are very low in calories, so i still eat 3 meals a day and offer myself vegetables fruits, and protein, even good carbs like quinoa and brown rice and unenriched whole grain. That's why my daily total only comes up to about 1000-1200 calories. I'm pretty sure its healthy though.

[JustCallMeLeon]

You can't naturally chose or cause which fatty tissues are consumed as caloric deposits first. Your body does that. For example, you can't lose belly fat by doing ab exercises or lose butt fat by doing squats.

[Asker]

bruh i already said i can't target particular fat this didn't help in the slightest D:

[JustCallMeLeon]

So your question is invalid "bruh". Sorry.

[Asker]

No, you're lazy and can't answer a question, a simple one at that.
I know all the basics to exercising and dieting, but i've heard about facial exercises and I needed to know if there's any foods that help.. Just read the paragraph or don't answer at all please

[JustCallMeLeon]

Do some research. You can't "naturally". There are other ways to do it. And dont call me lazy please. You hardly even know me. I've been into stright diet and exercise since the day you were born. Done everything, read a lot. Failed a lot and retried a lot.
No I dont need to answer a 2 page expaination if the answer to the Q is plain and simple. You may not like it but its just that. Stop looking for an answer that suits your needs/style.

[Phoenix98]

You can't spot reduce fat, just workout and eat right and the fat from your entire body as a whole will go away including the fat on your face.

[Asker]

i asked that in my question already

[archiz]

I am fit and all but the fat in my face didn t go 😭

[Phoenix98]

@archiz Well that's genetics my dear, some people just have certain face shapes or body shapes like some people are born with a fat belly. Or beer belly as it's known and it will never fully go away due to their genetics.

I am talking about fat that's added on to your face due to bad eating habits and bad life style choices though.

[Anonymous]

you have two choices, lose weight, or age. when i was younger i hated my baby fat and my doctor told me it would go away and it does in your 20's it gets better. believe me you do not want to lose the facial fat, people go to the doctor and inject their face with botox to look youthful and just look like they have some facial fat in their face. naturally as you age you will have less fat in your face.

[Asker]

That's true, I already plan on getting rhinoplasty when i'm older, i've already has my adenoids removed but I still have a deviated septum and breathing problems, so it's necessary anyways, but aha.. I was also planning on getting like jawline surgery or a chin implant or facial fat removal surgery... but I did think about aging past my twenties, when I lose even more fat, and possibly looking like a skeleton woman which I don't want.
Yeah, I know I should probably wait till i age but it feels like all my friends around me have a normal amount of face fat, odd thing is when one of them squeezed their own face fat, the same amount of fat was on her cheeks on mine and i'm confused why her face looks way thinner than mine, am I imagining a worse case for myself?
But i'm 125 & 5'5 so its not like i'm fat & therefore have face fat, i'm normal with a healthy bmi. Maybe if I lose 5-10 pounds?

[Opinion Owner]

I'm exactly your height/weight. Yeah I would say the facial fat is normal and I wouldn't mess with it because the last thing you want to do is end up going back and getting fillers because you took too much out. Plus you will look younger than your age if you still have it when you're older. Once you hit your mid twenties and above everyone will be dying to look younger than their age and have more facial fat lol.

[Asker]

Lol true xD but I think i'd rather look good in my twenties than in y 50's or 60's

[Opinion Owner]

lol you lose facial fat in your twenties

[Elarra]

You can't target facial fat. You have to just lose weight in general. Your facial fat is pretty easy to get rid of. I lost 10 pounds and people keep telling me my face looks a lot slimmer.

[Asker]

lmao let me go weigh myself brb, its the morning and i haven't eaten yet and i just peed,
Okay I way 125 (with clothes on) and i'm 5'5 & 15 years old, I mean do you think i need to lose like 10-15 pounds? That's the thing though, i'm healthy, normally thin, but i have baby fat on my face. I know i can't spot reduce fat but let's say you do only push ups for 2 months, your arms will get toned, I was wondering if there's such things for the face to tone it, but I know reducing fat is like 99% and barely exercise, exercising just develops muscle mainly (other than cardio).
Ugh I don't know what to do lol

[Asker]

weigh**

[Elarra]

I think you're fine. You don't need to lose weight. Your face will change by the time you're 18. I see it happen to my students all the time. They look one way as freshmen but then look completely grown come graduation.

[Asker]

Omg now i'm all pumped to reach my late teens/early twenties lol

[Elarra]

Lol, yeah, wait until you're at least 18. You're still technically in puberty and most people don't full develop until they're 19 or 20 years old. My face was scrawny and broken out. Then I hit 18 and most of it disappeared and my face had gotten a little fuller so I looked closer to my age instead of like a child. And my boobs went from a B cup to a D cup in a month.

Trust me, you're body is no where near finished changing.

Thank you!!!

[TheINTJ]

Sure thing. It'll probably be easier for you to correct since you're still young.

[Afro-dite9]

You can't target a specific area. Just work out in general and your body will do the rest. Eventually your face will slim down as well.

[Asker]

alright, thanks

[SteamBuns]

U can't lose weight on one specific place on ur body... Point being, Get off ur ass N Lace up N never stop running

[SteamBuns]

OHH, I didn't mean to make you feel bad, I'm sorry :'(

[Asker]

well if you actually had what I have to say.
1. I already mentioned i'm aware of the fact i can't spot reduce fat
2. I weigh 5'5 and 120 pounds so its not like I'm obese causing my face to be super fat
3. i'm already on a 1200 calorie diet w/ moderate exercise

[Asker]
