The Complex Relationship Between Drastic Weight Loss and Facial & Body Aesthetics

Table of Contents

Recently, the Chinese movie, “YOLO” has garnered attention for its exploration of self-discovery and acceptance in the face of societal pressures. The film delicately portrays the journey of a female character struggling with body image issues, and the aftermath of drastic weight loss. This movie “YOLO” sheds light on the emotional complexities associated with physical transformations, highlighting the importance of inner confidence and self love.

In this movie, the main female character, Jia Ling has lost over 110 pounds! The question is, does it have any huge impact on our face after losing so much weight?

The Impact on Facial Aesthetics

One of the most noticeable effects of drastic weight loss is the alterations in facial aesthetics. As the body sheds fat stores, it often leads to a reduction in facial volume, resulting in a sunken appearance.

What is expected for someone to notice from the face is, the cheekbones may become more pronounced, jawlines sharper and the overall facial contour may look more sunken. Another impact is you may realize the excess skin appears sagging, particularly around the cheeks, chin and neck, giving you a prematurely aged appearance.

The Impact on Body Aesthetics

Beyond the face, significant weight loss can also impact the aesthetics of the body. Loose skin, stretch marks and stubborn pockets of fats are common concerns among individuals that have undergone weight loss.

Areas around your abdomen, thighs, arms and buttocks may show laxity and lack of firmness, making you look different and unattractive than you should from the weight loss journey.

Treatment Approaches for Aesthetic Concerns Associated with Drastic Weight Loss
