If done regularly, these exercises can slim down your face and, at the same time, tone up facial muscles. They can also improve your facial skin’s elasticity and firmness, making your face look more youthful and thinner.
Being said that, there’s no such thing as SPOT REDUCTION!!! Well, I am sure you might have been wondering what I’m trying to say? But, it is true. Even after doing all these facial exercises one cannot lose facial fat at that extent because it’s not the FAT, its WATER retention which body holds under the skin.
These exercises work only when your body fat percentage is low, somewhere around 10-15%. By that means you need to cut down overall body fat percentage.
So what are the possible ways to get rid of that body fat quickly???
All you need to have is patience, if you don’t see results in a week don’t get disheartened. Remember, Rome wasn’t built in a day. Give some time to your body and see the outcome real soon.
Stay motivated!

Hello Rami,
In order to lose facial fat you need to do serious changes in your diet such as cutting down Sodium and Salt, and most importantly drink lots of water so that it will flush out excess sodium from your body.

Hi Swetha,
You can see some obvious improvements after 3-4 weeks. However, you need to stick with controlled diet plans to get the results, pick any of these exercises and do 4 sets of each, with 8-10 rep ranges.
