Cheekbones: "Face shapes that are widest at the cheekbones are a typically a round face shape," Rowe says, but the length of your face also comes into play. To do so, he notes "differences in symmetry or distances from one feature to the next." He determines the shape of his patients' faces before using injectables or performing a facelift in order to achieve the ideal and most natural-looking outcome. Forehead: A wider forehead can be filed under the oval category, especially if its width "tapers toward the chin," New York-based board-certified plastic surgeon Norman Rowe tells Allure. “Even a super-long look, a jawline bob or anything in between can work once you set in place a beautiful focal point over the eyes.Step 1: What's the widest part of your face?
