Will Gaining Weight Help with my Underdeveloped Cheeks? (photo)

June 11, 2013
Asked By:RazorG in Orlando, FL

Okay, so for a while I've noticed that when lighting is hitting my face from directly above, my midface where my cheek ends and my upper lip begins starts to look weird and it looks like my upper lip is protruding. I don't know whats causing it and its really frustrating. However, before considering any major surgical change, I would like to know if gaining some weight (since I'm a little skinny) would help? Or maybe better vitamins?
