Ok, this might be a stupid question but I'm just going to post it anyway to see if anyone has any suggestions:
I recently lost the rest of my pregnancy weight with Weight Watchers (yay!) and my body looks fantastic. The only thing that didn't really change is my face! Seriously, I'm at the perfect weight but my face doesn't reflect the weight loss like my body does. I've asked a few others I'm close to and they agree (so it's not all in my head).
I own a Dermal Tone and a Baby Quasar but am not sure if these together (or separately) will do anything for facial slimming. I've done Flex Effect facial exercises and they help a lot with lifting, but not with slimming.
Any ideas??  |

There is nothing you can apply topically to lose weight in your face. I'm sure there will be fad-articles and things you'll read saying otherwise, but targeted fat loss is virtually impossible.
Eat healthy, drink lots of fluids, and exercise (cardio is important to lose initial fat, but in the long run, strength/weight/resistance training will build muscle and ultimately keep the fat off). |

I think it might help you age better, to have more fat in your face. When you age your face thins out, so it will happen eventually, don't worry  |

Make-up helps a little bit but can be obvious at day time. However, when I go out at night, my face looks really thin  I use a bronzer to hide the double chin and to give my give my face a semi chiselled look. I love dark lighting  |

You can def use make-up to make your face look slimmer - use bronzer to define your cheeks and a shade darker foundation well blended around the edge of your face, or on the bits you want to 'recede', like chubby cheeks or double chin..
what I wouldnt give to get my chubby face back though, lol! |

| Lauren Hutton's face disk has a powder in it to do something similar, that I use. It is used on the cheekbones and jaw line and it does give my face a slimmer appearance. |

| I'd love to see a documented study of research showing that a cream successfully reduced or displaced fat in someone's face. |

That's it.
And most of face massage creams, just like SUQQU, can do the job perfectly when combining with the specially designed approach. |

| How about massaging your face gently, perhaps it's like lymphage drain that's not working properly? Try honey masks, those work really great.. |

Thank you for providing this interesting info. OK, it doesn't contain Botox. Botox is a controlled substance It is an interesting product but the second ingredient is scheduled in the USA I believe, and not at all healthy.
Here's the info girls:
Description:
2B for Face - Professional Treatment for face.
* Improve your prominent jaw line.
Besides water retention, it is traditionally believed the cause of a prominent jaw line is an oversized jaw bone. However, according to plastic surgeons, the facial bone structure would not affect the overall size of a face significantly. An angular jaw line is more often due to the thickness of inner chewing muscles, which results in the protrusion of facial cartilages that causes undesirable jaw lines. Basing on this concept, 2B For Face from 2B Alternative provides a total solution for you.
* Safer and more effective than bone reduction
Unlike common products in the market that only focus on water retention in the face problems, 2B For Face contains a brand-new French Acetyl Hexapeptide-3, which effectively weakens and thins out chewing muscles that cause a square jaw by topical application. It would make the jawline softer and more feminine. According to plastic surgeons, weakening the chewing muscles is safer and more effective than bone reduction surgery. It effectively resolves different facial problems and is therefore a common practice in Europe.
* Total solution for facial recontouring
In addition to Acetyl Hexapeptide-3, 2B For Face contains de-swelling ingredients from the U.S., which accelerate lymphatic circulation and reduce double chin and facial swelling. Besides its re-contouring effect, Lipidure from Japan can also moisturize the skin and reduce wrinkles. Melaclear 2 re-vitalizes the skin texture, leaving the skin velvety, elastic and radiant after use.
How to refine the facial contour with the professional recipe?
5 steps for professional facial contouring steps:
1. First, the coix extract in the lotion reduces the facial swelling.
2. Increase the water-holding capacity of the skin with Lipidure. The seaweed extract encourages the moisturized cells to organize well.
3. Aloe extract and witch hazel extract tighten the skin and eliminate your double chin.
4. The major active ingredient, Acetyl Hexapeptide-3, keeps the chewing muscles tightened and prevents the appearance of pendant and loose jowl.
5. Melaclear 2 and Ginkgo extract activate the bottom cells, increase skin elasticity and promote skin whitening.
Apply 2B For Face for 2-3 months, and your facial features would look firmer, the square face would disappear gradually and a slimmer facial contour be promoted.
Product Made In: USA
How to Use:
Apply 2B for Face once every day. After cleansing, apply 2 drops on each cheek and the chin. Massage upward gently into the skin until fully absorbed.
Caution:
* To keep the product activity, please finish the product within 1 month after the vial is opened.
* Do not use 2B For Face on areas of wounded, broken, and burned skin. The product is NOT EDIBLE.
* Please run a sensitivity test for sensitive skin types. If redness, swollen, itch or irritation develops, please stop using the product and consult with your dermatological doctors.
* The product has a shelf life of 2-years when kept unopened at room temperature.
* Pregnant women and children under 12 are NOT recommended to use this product.

| I've not personally tried it, but there are millions of Japanese and Asian face slimming products - massagers/rollers, gel, cream, essence etc, which you could look into. I've seen one ad for a face slimming product with before and after pics but there arent much difference between the two. |

Recently on the talk show The Doctors, the plastic surgeon that is on the show said if you have gotten to your weight and have not lost face fat then you wont. Some are just more prone to holding on to fat in the face and he said those people would have to starve themselves before the started to loose that fat. |

| Have you heard of botox injections done to specific areas on the face to slim other parts down. Try going to a dermatologist that specializes in injections. |

| I get regular RF treatments. I think the heat with massage helps with lymphatic drainage. But the results aren't permanent |

| It is a problem discussed many times.I have followed some of the suggetions but with little effects.Now, I don't take the baby fat of my face as a big problem.I think that learn how to accept it is more important. |

this is going to sound really bizarre, but it works for me. i use the the tips of my index, middle, and ring fingers and massage the areas right above my jawline in small circular motions. it usually takes a couple of weeks for me to see any difference, but it keeps my face from looking too round. i told you it sounds bizarre but i hope it works for you too  |
