Facial Changes After Weight Loss

Understanding changes in facial appearance following weight loss

Significant weight loss can be accompanied by changes in facial appearance. These changes can vary considerably between individuals and may relate to changes in facial soft-tissue volume, skin characteristics and the distribution of tissue across different areas of the face.

For some people, these changes may be noticeable around the cheeks, temples, eyes, jawline and perioral area. The extent and nature of these changes can differ depending on factors including the amount and rate of weight loss, age, genetics, skin characteristics and individual facial anatomy.

What can change?

Changes following significant weight loss may include:

  • Changes in facial volume and contour
  • Changes in the appearance of the cheeks and temples
  • Changes in the definition of the jawline
  • Changes in the appearance of the under-eye and perioral areas
  • Changes in skin laxity and texture

These changes are individual and may occur alongside the broader physical changes associated with weight loss.
