I Have A Very Round Face With Wide Cheek Bones. Is This Possible To Correct With Braces Or Would I Need To Consider Surgery?

Q.
Hello Doctor,

I am a 23 year old female. I have a very round face. Rather my face is wider near the cheek bones.
The width of my cheek bones is more than the width of my forehead and my jaw-line. As a result when I sleep on my side, my face just rests on my cheek bones causing it to hurt.

Is there a way to reduce the width of the area around my cheek bones? And at the same time make my face longer and slimmer.

Is any of these possible with braces? Or will I have to go through some sort of surgery.

How much money should I be expecting to spend for each?

Thank you for your time.

Hello and thanks for getting in touch. My advice would be for you to talk to a maxilla-facial surgeon and talk over your options regarding your cheek bones. Unfortunately I couldn’t tell you how much this costs but you could find this out by searching the internet and researching this area. I wish you luck with this treatment and I hope this helps. Regards, Mark.
