In the past month my face seems to have begun to sag. My jawline is less prominent (and rounded)and my cheek bones also look less prominent. I'm only 21, so this is very surprising to me. My cheeks also seem to have a more bulging appearance than before and my smile is slightly crooked. Any ideas on why this could be happening? For a while i had some facial numbness, tightness and it was hard for me to smile, but that only lasted for about a week. I'm confused as to why this is happening..

You need to see your family physician to determine if you have an underlying cause for the changes you describe. There is no need for any surgery for this.

Facial Changes in 21 Year Old Woman
Hi NH,
You should have a physical exam with your general physician to address your concerns. Your blood should be checked and your hormone levels (thyroid, etc.) checked as well. You are very pretty and do not need any facial cosmetic surgery or treatments at this point. Good luck and be well.
