Underrated Cause of Ugliness: Excessive Malar Fat Pads

[thecel]

High malar fat pad mass contributes to nasolabial folds and an un-lean facial appearance.

Excessive malar fat pad thickness can be due to high body fat percentage, dogshit fat distribution genetics, and age-related saggage.
Example:

Malar fat pads that protrude ahead of the back of the nose look unaesthetic and fat/bloated.
Example:

Maxillary recession can exacerbate or create the appearance of excess malar fat pad protrusion, which deepens nasolabial folds and makes the surrounding area look bloated/fat.
Examples:

---

Male models almost universally have thin malar fat pads, forming a backwards-slanting zygo in 3/4 view. Combined with forward-slanting noses, the halos of both leanness and forward growth are optimized.

Examples:

Contrasted with the unaesthetic look of excess malar fat pad mass and/or insufficient support of it:

Here I’ve edited photos of people with the malar fat pad problem to make them leaner in this area.

looks hot on foids and I have no malar fat so idc

“Recessed” malar and buccal fat pads look better than “forward-grown” malar and buccal fat pads!

malar fat pad descends as you age, and the less bone you have, the uglier it'll look on your face

alternatively, if you have no malar fat due to lipodystrophy, it also looks weird as hell:

I think I have this

Malar fat pad looks good from the front, "bloated from the side". Excessive fat also looks bad because it creates the nasolabial line even if you have good maxilla. I think under eye fat is way more important. I have decent support in the zygo area but no support under my eyes.

So would injecting a fat dissolver like Aqualyx work/help?

How to fix, one side of my face legit looks like this nigga

Why is that better? I have that same line where it goes from the undereye to gonion from the side and I think it looks bad, sunken. Only pro to it is no nasolabial folds but it makes the zygos look weak asf.

@thecel can you explain what causes mouth lines in a thread
How some people have good mouth areas while others extend that nasolabial fold to the jaw

 

[thecel]

Bimax, this guy is legit boneless

bimax definitely ain’t the answer for them, lmao. their maxilla is already bimaxed; see how the maxilla is significantly in front of the nasion? bimax would chimpmaxx/dogmaxx this face.

infraorbital implants

infraorbital implants

Why do you think i have a naso line like this only one one side, the other side is fine

bloat maxxing

 

[thecel]

deep canine fossa = inward malar area = thick malar fat pad not so bad

shallow canine fossa = flat malar area = need thin malar fat pad to not look un-lean

Thank God I don’t have this

Great thread btw

 

[first snow]

earth is healing, thecel posted

 

[first snow]

btw will leanmaxing help or is it joever?
i think yes but you'll have to be below 10% BF to have a lean face if you have huge sub malar fat pads
