Honestly? Maybe not.

I know it's not what you expect a doctor at an aesthetic clinic to tell you. But it's the truth, and it's the first thing I tell younger patients who come asking about it.

I don't know what happened. I didn't change anything, but my skin is different." It is one of the phrases I hear the most in consultation.

When you lose weight fast, you lose it everywhere — including the face. The fat that used to hold up your cheeks, soften your jawline, and fill the area under your eyes simply disappears. What's left is skin that hasn't had time to adapt. Sagging. Hollowness. Jowls that weren't there before. A face that looks deflated.
