After losing weight, the face invariably takes on a different shape. But everything depends not only on the number of kilograms lost, but also on the shape of the face, as well as on anatomical features, in particular, the distribution of fat, which is determined genetically. Some, even with a thin build, may have chubby cheeks, while others, even with extra pounds on the waist and hips, do not have a double chin.
It is generally accepted that excess weight makes you look older.
On the other hand, thinner stars are often pitied for their aged appearance. Some at a young age with extra pounds look older, and having already matured and lost weight, they begin to look even younger than many years ago! Probably, it all depends on the type, face shape and initial age. Let's see how losing weight changed the faces of 14 Russian celebrities.
Yulia Snigir
Her modeling past hints that Julia did not suffer from excess weight. But in order to reliably embody the image of the Russian Empress, Yulia Snigir needed to gain 13 kilograms, which naturally reflected on her face, noticeably rounding it. After filming and giving birth, Snigir began to actively lose weight, so much so that fans became seriously worried. Her face is drawn, emphasizing her expressive cheekbones. Julia achieved all this with the help of cardio training: the actress demonstrated her exercises on a treadmill.

Pelagia
Having been chubby all her life, Pelageya one day decided to radically change her figure and image. In six months, the singer lost almost 30 kilograms, and her charming cheeks, which fans loved so much. After losing weight, Pelageya’s face acquired graceful, pointed features, and many began to say that the singer began to look older.

Why is jaundice dangerous?
Jaundice in cancer indicates a late stage of tumor development. In such cases, treatment options are significantly limited.
Obstructive jaundice itself is fatal. When bile enters the blood, it is saturated with bilirubin.
Normally, it is excreted along with bile into the duodenum and is then evacuated naturally through the small and large intestines.
When the flow of bile into the duodenum is disrupted, bilirubin enters the blood along with the bile.
This is very dangerous because bilirubin is a toxic substance, essentially poison. Its maximum content in the blood should not exceed 20 - 21 µmol/l. In the case of obstructive jaundice, its concentration increases to hundreds of µmol/l.
This leads to total poisoning of the body, disruption of almost all vital biochemical processes and can lead to death in a short time.
Therefore, the first thing a doctor should do in case of obstructive jaundice is to reduce the concentration of bilirubin in the blood below a critical level by any means.
Olga Kartunkova
The most incredible weight loss in terms of its scale was demonstrated by KVN artist Olga Kartunkova. Over the course of 2 years, Olga lost more than 80 kilograms and transformed herself so much that it became impossible to recognize her as a regular artist. Her face got rid of the massive double chin and cheeks, Olga gained a beautiful oval face, and it became noticeable how beautiful her eyes are!

Polina Gagarina
Pregnancy brought Polina a couple of dozen extra pounds, and her square face began to look even more massive, making the young girl look much older. Having lost 40 kilograms, Gagarina completely changed her image and even became too thin. Perhaps the singer removed Bisha's lumps, because her face completely lost the fat layer that gave rise to those very cheeks, and the lower part of her face became less heavy.

Svetlana Hodchenkova
In 2003, Russian audiences saw Svetlana Khodchenkova in the image of a “blood and milk” girl. But time passed, the actress changed, lost weight and transformed. When Svetlana’s figure lost all its roundness, her face also lost its cheeks. There were also those fans who were not delighted with the transformation of the star, who began to look tougher and lost her softness and pristine femininity.

Anna Mikhalkova
Anna Mikhalkova has been gaining weight and then losing weight all her life, but, fortunately, her changes do not in any way affect her demand for films. Recently, the actress lost weight again, and her face took shape again, losing her double chin. But Anna recently turned 45 years old! So, women aged 40+ should not be afraid to lose weight, which negatively affects their health. By the way, it was health that became the reason for Mikhalkova’s weight loss, who suffers from hypertension.

Facial anatomy
The face, like many other tissues, undergoes sagging processes under the influence of gravity. This process is called gravitational ptosis. I propose to consider the anatomy of the face layer by layer. It is a layer-by-layer description of facial anatomy from the perspective of the concept of Australian surgeon Brian Mendelson that will help to understand the mechanisms of aging.
Essentially, the face consists of 5 layers: skin, fatty tissue, muscles, ligaments, periosteum and facial skeleton.
- The skin is the outermost layer. Traditionally, facial aging is associated with skin changes, so most treatments begin with skin care. Many people use creams, masks, etc. It really has a positive effect. However, up to a certain age. According to various authors, facial aging begins at the molecular level on average at the age of 30. This process occurs deep in the structures of the skin, so all rejuvenation procedures are essentially care and do not have a long-lasting effect.
- Subcutaneous tissue. Lies under the skin and consists of adipose tissue. The thickness of the fat layer varies in different parts of the face. With age, fat sinks and accumulates in certain places, forming bags under the eyes, jowls, etc.
- Muscles . There are 21 facial muscles on the face. With age, muscles weaken and sag, like a hammock in which fat accumulates. In this regard, working exclusively with the skin will not help achieve aesthetic rejuvenation. After all, even after performing a skin tightening, an array of muscles and adipose tissue will stretch the face and the result of skin procedures will disappear in no more than 1 year.
- Ligaments . With the help of ligaments, the soft tissues of the face are attached to the facial skeleton and are located in certain places. Time and gravity have virtually no effect on the ligaments, so weakened muscles and hanging fat are thrown over the ligaments, forming pronounced age-related contours of the face.
- Periosteum and facial skeleton. The bony skeleton determines the shape of the face and the very uniqueness and individuality of our faces. However, over time, the bone tissue slowly collapses, which creates the preconditions for the heavy mass of the face to slide down.

Masha Fedorova
The former editor-in-chief of the Russian magazine Glamor was for many years one of the body-positive icons of the capital's elite. But with Fedorova’s appointment to the post of editor-in-chief of Russian Vogue, dramatic changes occurred to her. A few months earlier, from a plump lady, she had turned into a slender and spectacular woman. Need I say that losing weight had the best effect on your face?

Why does jaundice occur?
Liver cells are called hepatocytes. On one side they connect with the smallest blood vessels, and on the other with the bile ducts.
Small bile ducts and blood vessels merge into larger ones and ultimately form the common bile duct (choledochus) on one side and the hepatic vein on the other.
Bile is an alkaline, olive-yellow-colored substance necessary for the digestion of fats and the absorption of fat-soluble vitamins. It is produced by liver cells. Normally, bile constantly flows into the gallbladder and then into the duodenum, where it combines with pancreatic juice - the secretion of the pancreas. Together they digest fats.
Compression of the common bile duct leads to bile stagnation in the gallbladder and liver.
Since liver cells are connected to the circulatory system, bile from them enters the blood. Intoxication develops, which is accompanied by yellowing of the skin and sclera of the eyes. This is jaundice.
Since the cause of bile entering the blood is mechanical compression of the common bile duct (or other ducts), jaundice is called mechanical.
The international clinic Medica24 uses the most effective methods for quickly treating this syndrome and neutralizing its danger.

Tatyana Ustinova
From a young age, the author of detective novels had a large physique, and over the years the writer’s weight only grew. Despite the fact that Ustinova was never shy about her kilograms and was always confident in herself, at some point she had serious health problems that required her to radically reconsider her view of her body. And then she reduced the calorie content of her diet and lost almost 100 kilograms.
Having gotten rid of the excess, Tatyana was transformed and began to look much younger and more impressive. The stylish short haircut now really suits her significantly thinner face, which has lost her massive double chin.

Why does loss of facial volume occur?
Volume is lost due to a number of reasons related to both natural body processes and certain diseases. First of all, this is natural aging, leading to changes in a person’s appearance. A young body produces a sufficient amount of collagen , which ensures sufficient elasticity and firmness of the skin. However, as we age, collagen production decreases. As a result, a change in outline occurs.
As a rule, the face becomes noticeably thinner in the process of sudden weight loss and severe dehydration. Excessive physical activity also has a noticeable effect on your appearance. In addition, the face of a person who suffers from ailments associated with endocrinological disorders . As a result of such diseases ( hypopituarism , thyrotoxicosis , diabetes mellitus ), the skin becomes dry, acquires a grayish tint, cheeks sink, and muscle tissue atrophies. The contours may change due to the development of ptosis of the soft tissues of the face.
The reasons for changes in volumes may also be the development of malignant neoplasms , progression of tuberculosis , heart and kidney failure .
Sometimes this symptom is observed in infectious diseases , gastrointestinal dysfunction , liver cirrhosis , neurological diseases , and parasite infection . If a person exhibits this symptom, a specialist will help determine why this is happening.
Elena Lyadova
One of the main actresses of modern Russian cinema began her career at a heavier weight and only then acquired graceful forms. For example, for her role in the film “Space as a Premonition,” Elena had to gain about 12 additional kilograms, which affected her face, rounding her cheeks. Over time, Lyadova lost weight, and now there is nothing left of her previous shape. The face went from pear-shaped to oval – the perfect shape!

Symptoms of obstructive jaundice
Yellowing of the skin and sclera of the eyes are characteristic, but not the only symptoms of obstructive jaundice. Another sign of this condition is itchy skin.
Other symptoms:
- darkening of urine
- stool discoloration,
- bitter taste in mouth
- heaviness and pain in the right hypochondrium,
- fever, chills,
- nausea,
- vomiting that does not bring relief,
- yellowing of the mucous surfaces of the mouth,
- abdominal enlargement,
- expansion of superficial veins on the abdomen, chest, neck, face.
In addition, obstructive jaundice manifests itself:
- loss of appetite
- weight loss,
- headaches,
- dizziness,
- noise, ringing in the ears.
Due to the fact that bile does not enter the duodenum, the digestion of fats and the absorption of fat-soluble vitamins (A, K, E) deteriorate. This is manifested by symptoms of anemia, vitamin deficiency, in particular, weakness, high fatigue.

Elena Stepanenko
Elena Stepanenko decided to radically lose weight at a time when many women no longer hope to change anything about themselves. The artist lost weight after turning 60, reconsidering her views on nutrition - she simply began to eat less. Naturally, such a weight loss could not help but be reflected on the face of a woman who, to put it mildly, is no longer a girl. Some of the viewers liked Stepanenko’s image, others did not recognize the comedian, who no longer looked like herself.

The face of the cause became haggard. Reasons for losing weight on your face
Any sudden changes in appearance should immediately alert you. If your face has lost a lot of weight, there may be various reasons for this.
Domestic
- Serious illnesses. First of all, you need to rule out possible health problems; for this you need to visit a doctor and take blood biochemistry tests and check your hormonal levels. rapid weight loss is caused by cancer, tuberculosis, metabolic disorders, diabetes mellitus, anorexia, bulimia and other eating disorders. Often, sudden facial weight loss is caused by hormonal changes in a woman’s body, which harm not only her appearance, but also damage her health. “Jumps” of hormones can also provoke temporary swelling, after getting rid of which it seems that the face is suddenly losing weight. The same thing happens after you stop taking certain hormonal medications. In this case, so-called false weight loss occurs.
- With general weight loss, the face also becomes thinner. If facial features have become sharpened, and the skin has become flaccid and dry, the oval of the face has changed, this is an indicator of excessive zeal with the diet. The reasons often lie in the speed of weight loss - a rapid drop in weight provokes a decrease in the amount of fatty tissue not only on the body, but also on the face, the cheeks “sink” and the features become sharper. That is why nutritionists recommend gradual weight loss, which will not affect the condition of the skin and the shape of the face.
- An unbalanced diet can also cause changes in volumes. The body may receive enough calories, but a lack of moisture or fat can cause changes in the skin, the tissues become drier and sluggish, the lines of the face seem visually lowered and the face looks thin.
- Dental problems. Missing teeth cause “dips” in the cheeks, making the face visually thin. This defect can be easily corrected by visiting a dentist. This must be done as the defect occurs, otherwise deep folds may form on the cheeks and around the mouth, the cheeks may droop, deforming the oval of the face.
Ekaterina Skulkina
Skulkina’s type is such that excess weight only adds age to a woman who, even without it, looks somewhat older than her years. Having become famous throughout the country in the image of a loud, plump and temperamental young lady, Ekaterina surprised with her sudden weight loss. The transformation was obvious, and now the artist could emphasize her graceful waist and open her arms. However, the anatomy of Catherine's massive pear-shaped face is such that it was not too affected by weight loss. Ironically, Skulkina did not receive expressive cheekbones. But she is good without them!

How does loss of facial volume manifest?
Recession of tissues and, as a result, loss of facial volume is often evidence of aging . Very often, in the process of tissue aging, there is a recession of the cheeks, the formation of pronounced pits under the eyes, drying out and withering of the skin. All this occurs due to atrophy of muscles and subcutaneous fat.
Deformation or loss of face leads to changes in shape and volume. Gradually, a person's face becomes flat. The elasticity of the skin disappears, the texture of the skin changes. If a person previously had an oval face shape, then due to the degradation of adipose tissue it may become closer to square.
Sometimes such symptoms are observed in a person even at a young age, while in adulthood they become significantly worse. A very thin face may be a consequence of the anatomy of the facial skeleton.
Age-related loss of facial volume leads to a person looking even older than his age. Depending on the reasons for this phenomenon, doctors prescribe different treatment methods to correct appearance.
Marina Afrikantova
One of the stars of the scandalous television project “Dom-2” became famous on the Internet, including thanks to her weight loss, which greatly affected her face. At the beginning of her life on the television set, Marina was distinguished by her round face with full cheeks. But then the girl changed, if not beyond recognition, then for the better. She lost weight and changed her style. As for the face, it, of course, has lost weight, but, as we can see, it has not depleted itself to sharp cheekbones. What can you do - it's genetics!

How to fix this problem?
The easiest way is to use the right makeup. It will take a lot of time, but the result can be good. How to hide a big wide nose with makeup? The principle is simple - play with chiaroscuro: we apply dark shades to problem areas, and, on the contrary, we highlight those that we want to emphasize.
Disadvantages of this method:
- This is just a disguise, not a correction of the defect.
- A temporary effect that persists only when looking at the face from the front.
Special facial gymnastics gives more lasting results. Of course, it will not cope with pronounced changes in the size of the nose, but it will have some lifting effect. The problem is that it will only persist if you persistently repeat the entire set of exercises every day.
Various injection techniques will also be ineffective:
- injection of botulinum toxin will reduce excessive mobility of the tip or wings, but will not reduce the width of the nose;
- fillers will help correct the shape of the back, but will not affect the excess length;
- Lipolytic drugs will reduce the amount of subcutaneous fat and get rid of swelling, which will visually narrow the nose, but the effect will also not last long;
- installing threads will help raise the tip and somewhat tighten the nose that is too wide, but the result of such correction looks unnatural, and therefore threads are almost never used today to change the size of the nose.
Dana Borisova
There was a moment in Dana Borisova’s life when she gained a lot of weight. With such data, in case of weight gain, the face becomes rounded and becomes visually flatter. Then she put herself in order, lost weight, had plastic surgery and became prettier. True, later her appearance still changed for the worse, but that’s a completely different story.
TV presenter Dana Borisova
Svetlana Permyakova
As in the case of Ekaterina Skulkina, Permyakova’s type, alas, is problematic in terms of age. Svetlana always looked more mature, and the extra pounds aggravated this point. A round face and short neck with excess weight are very problematic areas that immediately attract attention. Already in adulthood, Permyakova also lost weight and transformed herself, changing her style. All this only benefited the artist, who began to take selfies on Instagram more often.

Why does your face lose weight? Why does the face or the fatal ten lose weight?
There are 10 main problems of facial weight loss. All the rest are only a consequence of these, which have a detrimental effect on women’s appearance. Not all of them can be avoided, but some can be prevented or corrected:
- Medical causes, which account for approximately 80% of all facial oval distortions. This can be dealt with preventively by undergoing regular medical examinations, or by eliminating the disease.
- Any addiction - drug, alcohol, gaming, nicotine. You need willpower, a desire to free yourself, and certain conditions.
- Poor nutrition, including diets. Every person can eliminate or correct this factor, give up harmful foods, and introduce fruits and vegetables rich in vitamins into the diet.
- Increased physical activity. This is also a removable reason. Sometimes you have to change your job, shift some of your responsibilities to household duties, or reduce your hours at the gym.
- Incorrect or disrupted sleep patterns. Harmful wakefulness at night, insufficient time allotted for rest, insomnia or interrupted sleep (some at night, some during the day).
- Stress and psychological conflicts accompanied by negative circumstances. This could be anything from trouble at work to the death of a loved one. The advice to try to avoid them is only appropriate in 50% of cases.
- Transitional age, the consequence of which is the restructuring of the body and its changes. Many overweight and even fat children in adolescence become radically different, stretch out and lose weight.
- Hormonal imbalances. Typically occur during menopause, but can happen at any age.
- Old age. This can be combated, but the decrease in the production of collagen fibers and the degradation of adipose tissue, which previously provided skin turgor and beautiful contours, are, unfortunately, hardly reversible.
- Cosmetic procedures and surgeries that aimed to slim the face, but achieved it in an exaggerated form. This category also includes congenital features of the facial structure, for example, too prominent cheekbones.
