I would like to clarify that I am 5'10 and fluctuate between 150-160 pounds, sometimes up to 165. I by no means have an eating disorder!

Gaunt face treatment in 25 yr. old.
Gaunt face treatment in 25 yr. old without an eating disorder usually involves chin and or cheek implants. I would need to see more photos of your face to give a better answer. Fillers are not the way to solve your problem!

You may want to consider a filler such as Sculptra Aesthetic to help fill the volume in your face. It is surprising how adding a little volume to your face can make such a big difference.
Good Luck.
