Here are some of the exercises you can try:
1. Cheekbone lift: Here, you place your index and middle fingers on both cheeks at ones. Pull the fingers up, getting the fat to collect right under your eye and then lower your jaw, opening your mouth. The stretching of the cheeks can help your cheekbones look uplifted and face thinner.
2. Fish face: Create a vacuum inside your mouth by pulling both of your cheeks inwards, tilt your head backwards and look at the sky. Be careful to not do it if you wish to be silent, releasing the fish face will create an unwanted noise. You'll find out.

4. Brow raiser: Put your finger nails on your brows and attempt to raise while pulling down on your skin. This will make your eyebrows much more taut and stop them from drooping.
5. Smiling Buddha: Fold your lips into your mouth entirely. You must make sure there is just a line on your face and no lip is visible. Then pull the ends of your mouth up i.e. attempt to smile. Repeat at least 10 times. Over time, this should strengthen your facial muscles.
6. The "O": Make an 'O' with your lips, placing them over your teeth. Note, this doesn't mean opening your mouth wide, make an "O" that you make while saying the letter "O". Then place your index fingers at the corner of each side, and push up. Maintain your "O" shape using the lip muscles, and repeat after 2-4 seconds of holding up.
