Facial features change after weight loss?



Recommended Posts

So I am going to be 6 months post op in a few weeks (can't believe it lol) down almost 100lbs so far. (Highest weight was 379, down to 283. Still a ways to go but getting there) I was just looking at some old pictures of myself and doing side by side comparisons and I notice obviously my face looks A LOT thinner of course, but my facial features actually look different? My nose looks SO much smaller. I have always disliked my nose, thought it was too wide for my face, but looking at recent pictures to me it looks almost like I got a nose job or something? I honestly LOVE my 'new' nose haha I also feel the shape of my face has changed, I think its more heart shaped then the original 'round' I always assumed it was lol.

Has anyone else notices this or something similiar with their face losing weight?

Heres a few pictures to show what I mean

I agree with mom2five...honestly, I think you are beautiful in all of those pics...I can see your face slimming down of course, but I truly don't see much change in your facial features themselves (with you that is a good thing, because as I said you are beautiful already)

congrats on the weight loss so far!

Yep! Your whole face looks like its changed symmetrically. You look younger now too! And thats always a good thing! ;) Very pretty too btw before and after!

I noticed mine looks different too. Sometimes I look in the mirror and its like looking at someone else now. I'm 3 1/2 months out and as of 2 weeks ago down 80lbs.

Haha its so funny because so many people compliment me on my eye brows and I'm like if you only knew what they looked like without makeup lol. I'm a natural blonde so they are pretty much invisible. I just pluck the stray hairs and use an angled brush to fill them in with powder :)

You all have seriously made my night! Thank you for the boost of confidence! :D

I noticed the other day as I was brushing my lipstick on that my lips seem different like they are more stretched on my face than poutier.

Not bad not good just different.

Ia m 3 months out 60 Lbs gone and I would say that yes you get a different face when you lose this much weight.

Good job.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
