    Some of it might adapt with time. You could try injectable fillers if there's no change after a couple of years.

    Not sure how much youve lost nor how much you weigh... but might try to change up makeup if you wear any... I had to. not that I look sick, but because the old look wasn't getting it for me.

    Me too, but I love it! They're also saying my neck/chest area is thinner....

    I have lost 105 lb , and I am having the same problems. Not sure what to do about it. I was thinking of going in and having a consultation with one of those skin clinics.

    Ive lost close to 10 lbs as of today. I have a small frame already. I wear mak up occasionally as I prefer th natural look. My neck and Chest don't look like hey are thinning like a previous poster mentioned. My neck nd chin actually look FAT!

    I don't really understand why a thinning face is a problem. It's just your face...minus as much fat as used to be there. I think people's faces almost always look a lot more attractive after weight loss. If you are so skinny people are asking if you are sick...maybe that is a seperate issue that needs to be addressed. Otherwise, you are just displaying a healthy-weight face that tops off your healthy-weight body. It's a good thing!

    Well, fat in the face generally means a more youthful look. It's one thing to have cut cheekbones, and another to have marionette lines. For 30+ women, it's something to think about.

    btw, my face looked a bit haggard when I first lost my weight, but it's not too bad now. I'm in my 30s (and have not yet turned to fillers).

    Make sure you moisturize, dry skin can make you look gaunt!
