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.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
