Is it normal to have very mild cheek festoons at age 30? Did my weight loss have an impact? (photo)

Asked By:tokyogirl88 in Australia, AU

I just turned 30 and I noticed I have dents in my upper cheeks. Is this normal at this age? I have always avoided the sun. Recently I lost between 5 and 10kg (I am 5'8") so I am not sure that this had an impact or not. Why would this be the case? I have a relatively weak mid-face, genetically speaking.
