Hey, i'm a 17 year old male, a tad too
skinny, 122 pounds. I lost around 30
pounds over the past year. Over the
summer, my face was quite slim and thin
and tight-skinned. But, although I havent
gained any weight, in recent weeks my face
has become loose-skinned, a little flabby,
my cheeks have become a little bigger, my
jaw and cheekbones less defined...I dont
udnerstand. Why would this happen, any
information will be appreciated, and how
can I return to the thin face version?
P.S. - I am 17, could it be my hormones?

Hi breathmints, how are you doing. Sorry
no one answered you in so long. I guess
the important thing that might be related
is your weight loss of 30 lbs. Why did
you lose that much weight, its kind of
uncommon especially in males and that too
at age 17 when you're supposed to be
growing? Were you sick or something? The
weight loss so rapidly might have
triggered something and your body responds
in its own wierd way. Iknow that cheeks
do sag when you lose a lot of weight
though- that's pretty common. When I lost
a lot of weight my cheeks sort of sloped
own and became floppy at the sides. So
maybe you should talk to a dr to let them
evaluate you?? Well take care and good
luck.
