Brief Answer:
Facial exercises, skin care, diet, make up & a confident spark on face

Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXX,
Welcome to health care magic.
I understand your concern.
Oversize of face can be due to more fat deposition on face/ natural shape of
face is broader than normal.
* excess fat on face- You have been trying with aerobics/ physical exercises to reduce the size of face, with result only on body.. with no change in face.This can be achieved by adding-
- Facial exercises along with your routine work outs. Please concentrate on exercises for facial muscles with advise from a instructor/beautician
- Facial massages& total skin care( cleanser, toner, moisturizer,tightening masks) done by an expert beautician play important role in reducing bulk as well as avoiding formation of wrinkles or sagging after fat is reduced.
- Diet restriction with lot of proteins, vitamins, minerals( Pulses, sprouts,strained milk, soy products/ Lot of vegetables, salads( with less oil or ghee or spices), fruits that are not very sweet,& lot of water. Take diet advice from a dietitian.
* Naturally oversize face-To tell you the truth,I personally feel every one has some master point in own personality. So to glorify the strong points/ learn to be very pleasant mannerism & nature , get expertise in own field is best way to success in life.
To seek confidence Naturally oversize face can be changed by-
-Few beauty tips of make up.. where cheeks, nose, eyes,chin are given special attention & shading to glorify good parts of face& hide the defects, thus distracting attention from oversize of face. You should learn these tact & get rid of the trouble.. till you are ready for surgery.
- BY changing shape & size of cheeks, nose & other needful parts of face by plastic surgery the shape of face can be changed / made beautiful permanently.

Brief Answer:
Prevention of collagen damage & stimulation of synthesis is scientific way

Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXX,
Thanks for the follow up query.I have read it & would try to give you scientific information in that respect.
1. * Collagen is type of protein synthesized in body. It is main building material of a cell,tissue or organ & hence is responsible for their shape. there are many collagen drinks/ cremes available in market.. which indicate people awareness about skin.
There is no scientific proof of the role of ready made collagen drinks in tightening skin. Also the molecules of collagen in skin creams are so big that they can not get absorbed from skin & act.They remain on skin & are washed off later.
* That is why it is advised to prevent damage of collagen in skin by-
-Preventing exposure to sun( sunscreen lotions ), toxins( antioxidants in diet ) , smoking, pollutants.
- Have nutritional diet with proteins, vitamin C, A, E, Omega 3 fatty acids.( salmon fish oil, spirulina ). Drink plenty of water... as all these help in collagen synthesis.
- Skin care & exercise ( regular skin exfoliation with scrubs/ facial exercises)
* stimulation of collagen synthesis in facial skin-
Take expert advise about skin care & treatment.To be precise.. consult a cosmetologist( MD in cosmetic medicine ) offering non surgical treatment for face sagging by treatments like-
- Collagen stimulating fillers- These are injected in skin to form Hyaluranic acid dermal filler brands .. which stimulate collagen formation.
-By use of laser or radio frequency stimulation
2.Face slimming devices.. Many types of facial slimming devises are available in market, they help tightening face, exercises to different facial muscles...
These can be used, but with expert advise, type of devise is to be chosen with expert's help( for your specific need )
I hope that satisfies yu, Any follow up quer is welcome,
Thanks.
