Step 1: Download an App
Start by downloading the app FaceLab (Buy the free trial). However, I recommend using FaceApp for better results (Note: FaceApp requires a ~$5 purchase).
Step 2: Apply the Following Filters
Once you have the app, use the following filters (adjust as needed):
Masculine
Cheekbones
Thick Lips
Small Face (adjust based on your features)
Pointed Chin (optional, depending on preference)
Thick Eyebrows
Smooth Skin (adjust by 1-3 levels for optimal effect)
You can also experiment with other filters like beard styles, hair color, hair texture, etc.
Example:
Step 3: Analyze the Changes
Once you've applied the filters, compare the edited version of your photo with the original. Pay close attention to the differences between the two.
Step 4: Document the Differences
Take note of the specific changes made by the filters. Understanding what changes worked for you will help in identifying ways to achieve these features in real life.
Step 5: Research Methods to Achieve the Results
For a deeper understanding of how to achieve these results naturally, I use ChatGPT and this site. ChatGPT is particularly helpful if you understand how to phrase your prompts.
Example: My ChatGPT Answer for Leanmaxxing
Personalized Leanmaxxing Plan
Your goal is to achieve hollow cheeks, prominent cheekbones, and a well-defined jawline through fat loss (leanmaxxing). Given your stats:
Current Weight: 61 kg
Height: 174 cm
Estimated Body Fat %: Likely 14–18% based on weight and inactivity
Activity Level: Sedentary (1000 steps/day, no exercise)
Caloric Intake: 2000 kcal/day
Since you’re already lightweight, the focus will be on fat loss while preserving muscle mass to enhance facial definition.
Phase 1: Fat Loss (Primary Focus)
1. Caloric Deficit
To lose fat, you need a caloric deficit:
Your estimated maintenance calories: ~2000 kcal/day
Target intake for fat loss: ~1500–1600 kcal/day (400–500 kcal deficit)
Expected Fat Loss: ~0.4–0.5 kg per week
Macronutrient Breakdown (Target):
Protein: 1.6–2.0g per kg of body weight (~100–120g protein/day) to maintain muscle mass
Fats: 20–25% of total intake (~40g/day)
Carbs: The remainder (~150g/day)
2. Diet Optimization (What to Eat)
Your diet should focus on:
High-protein foods: Chicken, fish, lean beef, eggs, Greek yogurt, cottage cheese Healthy fats: Nuts, seeds, olive oil, avocado Complex carbs: Oats, quinoa, brown rice, vegetables Hydration: Drink 3L+ water daily for facial leanness
Avoid processed foods, sugar, refined carbs, and excessive sodium (to minimize water retention).
Phase 2: Increasing Physical Activity
Since you’re sedentary, increasing activity is crucial for leanmaxxing.
1. Walking & General Movement
Goal: Increase from 1000 steps to 8,000+ steps/day gradually.
Start with 3,000 steps/day, increase weekly.
Use a standing desk if possible for work.
2. Cardio (For Faster Fat Loss & Face Shredding)
Best Options: ✔ Incline Walking (30–45 min daily) – Low-impact, burns fat effectively. ✔ Jump Rope (5–10 min daily) – Excellent for facial definition. ✔ HIIT (Optional) – Short bursts of intense cardio, 10–20 min 3x/week.
Phase 3: Jawline & Facial Definition Training
Even at low body fat, a strong jawline requires muscle development.
1. Mewing (Tongue Posture Training)
Keep your tongue on the roof of your mouth at all times.
Maintain a closed-mouth posture with teeth gently touching.
Improves jawline over months/years.
2. Facial Exercises (Optional but Helpful)
Chewing Hard Gum (Mastic gum or Falim gum) – 15–30 min/day.
Jawline Exercises – Chin tucks, jaw clenches.
Phase 4: Strength Training for Overall Aesthetics
To avoid looking skinny-fat, some muscle is necessary. Start with bodyweight exercises 3x/week: ✔ Push-ups – 3 sets of 10–15 reps ✔ Pull-ups (or Rows) – 3 sets of 5–10 reps ✔ Squats & Lunges – 3 sets of 15 reps ✔ Planks – 3 sets of 30–60 sec
Once comfortable, progress to weight training to enhance overall aesthetics.
Phase 5: Supplement Strategy
You’re already taking: ✔ Ashwagandha – Reduces stress (helps prevent cortisol-induced fat storage). ✔ Tongkat Ali – May support testosterone (indirectly helps fat loss). ✔ Vitamin D, Zinc, Iron – Essential for metabolism and recovery.
Consider Adding:
✔ Creatine (3–5g/day) – Helps maintain muscle even during fat loss. ✔ Electrolytes (sodium, potassium, magnesium) – Prevents dehydration and fatigue.
Expected Timeline & Results
✔ Week 1–2: Adapt to new eating habits, increase steps to 3,000–5,000. ✔ Week 3–4: Notice weight loss (1–2 kg), face starts to slim. ✔ Week 5–8: Cheekbones and jawline become visible (~12–14% body fat). ✔ Week 9–12: Significant facial leanness (~10–12% body fat).
Final Advice
Track Progress: Use weekly photos & weigh-ins. Stay Consistent: Fat loss takes patience—small daily efforts lead to results. Adjust Calories If Needed: If no weight loss after 2 weeks, drop another 100–200 kcal/day.
You can safely lose up to 4–6 kg, but dropping below 57 kg could lead to negative side effects. Your ideal range for
a chiseled jawline and hollow cheeks is likely 57–59 kg.
Another Answer:
If you reach 57 kg (or ~8–10% body fat) but still don’t have hollow cheeks, the issue may not be fat but rather bone structure, water retention, or muscle development. Here’s what you can do:
---
1. Check for Remaining Fat (Skinfold Test or Visual Estimate)
Even at 57 kg, you might still have some subcutaneous fat in the face.
Some people store more fat in the face genetically, even at low body fat.
If needed, you could drop to 56 kg (~7% body fat), but going lower is risky.
---
2. Reduce Water Retention (Face Bloating Fixes)
Sometimes, the face looks puffy due to water retention rather than fat. Try:
✔ Lowering sodium intake (avoid processed foods & excess salt)
✔ Drinking 3–4L of water daily (flushes out excess fluid)
✔ Increasing potassium intake (bananas, spinach, avocado)
✔ Limiting dairy (some people react with bloating)
✔ Avoiding alcohol & sugar (both cause face bloating)
---
3. Mewing & Jawline Exercises (Muscle Development)
Even with low body fat, a weak facial structure can prevent hollow cheeks.
✔ Mewing (proper tongue posture) – Do it consistently
✔ Chewing hard gum (Mastic/Falim gum) – 30 min/day
✔ Jaw & cheek exercises (Chin tucks, fish face, jaw clenches)
---
4. Skin Tightening & Anti-Aging Fixes
If you’ve lost a lot of weight quickly, loose skin could hide definition.
✔ Collagen supplementation (helps skin elasticity)
✔ Facial massages (reduces puffiness, promotes blood flow)
✔ Cold showers or ice rolling (tightens skin temporarily)
---
5. Last Resort: Dropping to 55–56 kg (Extreme Leanness)
This is only advisable if you still have face fat at 57 kg.
Risk: Below 7% body fat, you may start losing muscle & feeling fatigued.
Solution: If you go lower, eat high protein, lift weights, and track energy levels.
---
Final Advice
57–58 kg should be enough for most people to achieve hollow cheeks.
If not, focus on water retention, facial muscle exercises, and skin tightening instead of more fat loss.
If your jaw structure is naturally soft, fat loss alone won’t be enough—jaw exercises and mewing over time will help.
