How To Get Fuller Cheeks And Make A Gaunt Face Meatier

Did you know that there are two types of face? One is the “gaunt face” (or also called boney) and the other is the “meaty face”. If you are one of those people who want to make their face rounder and cheeks fuller, there are certain Face Yoga exercises that you can do so that you look younger than your actual age!


“MEATY FACE” VS “GAUNT FACE”

The people who have a “Gaunt Face” tend to:

  • look older than their actual age
  • loose weight from the face
  • see the hollow on their cheeks when look down
  • look skinnier than their actual weight.

The people who have a “Meaty Face” tend to:

  • look younger than their actual age
  • carry more weight in the face than the body
  • see the double chin when looking down
  • look heavier than their actual weight.
Gaunt face structure example - Angeline Jolie

Meaty Face

Here are some examples of celebrities with “gaunt faces” and “meaty faces.” Angelina Jolie has a “gaunt face” and she is only 37 years old. Nicole Kidman has a “meaty face” and she is 45 years old. Does this surprise you? I was surprised!

I thought that Angelina was older than her actual age and Nicole was younger than her actual age. Of course, they dress differently and they carry themselves differently but both of them are skinny and I was wondering why they look the way they look. It is their face differences!!

A FACIAL EXERCISE THAT CAN CHANGE YOUR GAUNT FACE

I have a gaunt face and even when I was in my late teens, I looked much older than my actual age. I loved it when I was younger because I felt more “mature.” When I am tired or do not have enough sleep, it shows on my face right away! I try to keep my cheek area round so that I do not look older and/or tired.

In general, the person with a “meaty face” looks younger than the person with a “gaunt face.” The “meaty face” people look heavier than the people with a “gaunt face.” There is no such thing as “good” or “bad.” But if you are one of those people who want to make your face rounder, there are certain face exercises you can do so that you look younger than your actual age!

When you try this exercise, imagine your face getting rounder and fuller like the cheeks all the babies have! I do this exercise in the car when I take my daughter to school. So what are you waiting for? Start getting your fuller cheeks with Face Yoga today! Don’t forget to me know your progress!

    1. Fumiko Takatsu

      Hi Kristy! I usually recommend 3 to 5 reps. And hold for 5 to 10 seconds, or 3 breathes. I hope this helps you continue with your practice!

  2. Hi. fumiko My face has gotten boney in the last 7 yrs. N now my back. Ive had multiple tests done on like everything n all docs say same. Im fine. Ok but in my face or back i dont look fine.

  3. My doctor said due to harmonal change my face is becoming thinner. But then why all girls of my age dont have these same changes to their face as well.

  4. my face is getting inner and when i smile my face looks like those of elder age. so, can you suggest me how can i have some fatter cheeks..

    1. You will be able to firm your cheeks using the exercise from this blog post: How To Reduce Cheek Fat and Firm Your Cheeks.

  5. Hi, there i check your youtube video of Chubby cheeks. Can you please see my photo that i sent you on twitter and determine that it is applicable on me or not.

    1. Hi Emre, unfortunately due to the volume of photos we receive everyday, we are unable to provide personal feedback. We do however have a FREE eBook on How To Have A Meatier Face and How To Firm Your Cheeks here: faceyogamethod.com/free

  6. Hello, bonjour,

    When I do this exercise, because my left side is more hollow than the right, I get a wrinkle on the left, will this exercise deepen it and make it appear? it is not there for now only when I do the exercise, but not on the right side ?

  7. Angelina Lunas

    i try everything for make my face thinner but i did get any result, after then my doctor suggest me for face thin tool now i am using face thin tool for 1month really i feel some changes on my face now my looking thinner and smaller without makeup.

  8. Hello, thank you for your video! Do you think this exercise could work for someone with dimples? I have a slender face but when tried the exercise I felt most of the tension in my mid-cheek, absorbed by the area with the dimple indent, so I am not sure if it could have the same effect. Any thoughts would be appreciated! Thanks.

  9. I was suffering terribley from same problem like u due to bone facy. I
    got very happy when found ur site on google. i like ur site very much
    and respect it ! bundle of thanks from

    adnan

  10. My face is so slim and i’m only 19, i want it to get fuller and rounder,should i try this? And my forhead isnt making it any better its so small. Help pleaseee

  11. Thank you for your post and help :).

    I find it interesting though that you choose Angelina Jolie and Nicole Kidman as exaples. If you look at pictures of them from years ago and compare to photos from now you can tell that no one of these two women have their natural faces.

    Comparing Angelina Jolie photos from now and then:
    Jolie’s weight and body fat amount has changed a lot. Her whole life, from child to late 20’s Jolie had much more body fat and facial fat compared to now. And by doing close comparisons it is easy to see that Jolie has done some sort of chin and jaw (possibly cheek) alteration (lift and possibly liposuction and buccal fat pad removal). So I would say that Angelina Jolie was born with a “meaty face”, and by surgery combined with weight loss achieved a more boney face.

    Comparing Nicole Kidman photos from now and then:
    Kidman has the last years using a lot of fillers in her face and cheeks to look plumpier.

    All the best!

  12. Fumiko, Thank you for all your videos, they are great!!, I have a question for you…do you have an exercise for the corners of your mouth, when they look like a down smile?

    You look great by the way, proof your exercises work!

  13. Hi Fumiko 🙂
    I really really really need your help and I know you can help me
    Well, before, my cheeks are even, their shape/chubbiness are even. But then, I ate a lot. Mostly salty/sweet foods, then I researched that salty foods make face bloat so I manage to lessen it rather than stop it instantly. I am also exercising everyday. After class, when I’m going home, I make 10-15 minute walk. But still, I noticed recently, that when I smile at the camera, my cheeks become uneven. My right cheek is chubbier than my left cheek. What should I do to make it both even? I’m really looking forward to your response and tips. Thank you.

  18. woon jeun chu

    hmm, this kinda relaxing xD, btw i’ thinking that, how to reduce the size of a cheek? -.- the other video you showed us is for bone face, how about for the chubby faces? 😀

  19. Hi fumiko,

    I want to know how often do I make this exercise, once a day or two days, and how many repeats(30 seconds) in one exercise. Could you help me. Thank you very much!

  20. Hi fumiko
    On my previous message, I wrote it wrongly, Instead of saying i could not understand the upper and lower lips exercise will help the boney face problem, I wrote I could understand. So I would like to change and thank your explanation.

  21. Hi fumiko,
    I started to lose weight on my face around two years ago, I did not know what cause it. When I looking at your upper and lower lips curling exercise video could improve the boney face problem? I just could understand how will it help! Could you please explain it? Thank you very much!

  22. Omg you described exactly how I feel all the time! I dislike it when people come to me and said you ate too skinny (I’m not!) and that I look old (I know ppl can be so blunt). I lose all the fat on my face first makin me look so tired. I want to be skinny but I just can’t win. Now I know there are others like me

  23. what if my upper jaw is slightly more forward than the lower jaw (chin) when i curl them, because basically the gap between my nose and upper lips is very small…after i took off my braces, the area around my mouth becomes thinner 🙁 how to solve this?

  24. This has been my problem all along. I can say I have a boney face and one of my cheeks is rounder than the other. I am just 25 but lately I have been losing the only fat from my face and look so tired all the time. Also my skin has started showing large pores. Will this exercise help? Looks like the whole world wants a slimmer face, i want the opposite!!

    1. I want to make my face fuller too! I lose cheek fat when I get tired and that makes me look old and tired! So this one is for you! As for the asymmetry on your face, maybe you are eating with one side of the mouth? Are you sleeping on your side so that one side of your face is always pushed down? Check your daily routine and see how you can change some of your routines.

      As for pore size, try the 100 times face wash. This is really amazing…..

      Hopefully these works!

        Hi Fumiko,
        I really like your video. I have always had a bony face but now I’m 60 and have undergone chemo and surgery and now radiation. I am doing intermittent fasting and I have plenty of fat on my body but my face just gets skinnier and skinnier and older looking. I’ve always been quite pretty but now I feel quite haggard and I’m hoping this helps build up some muscle or something… do you have any other videos for bony face syndrome? Thanks you are a pleasure to watch!
        Thanks,
        Elizabeth
        Thank you!

        1. Hi Elizabeth! In our Mouth & Cheek Jumpstart you will be able to choose between creating more mass on your cheeks or firming exercises to create a more sculpted look. Every face is different therefore we have made sure to create a program that caters to both types of face shapes. More info here: https://bit.ly/3hLiLcA

  25. I have a ‘meaty’ face ._. I actually would prefer it to become a bit slimmer. I started to do your exercise few days ago (I’m on my 13th day) and I see changes. : ) Still I would love to see some additional exercise from you! Thank you for all videos!

    I think that you’re wonderful and beautiful 🙂 My mother is the same age as you, wow… you look like a person in 30s… :O

    1. Oh you have ‘meaty’ face? No need to do additional exercise..I m telling the simple 10 minites exercise you slim your face. the magic is face thin tool. It will do what you want the shape of your face. 🙂 🙂
