What caused my face to flatten and lose my cheekbones? (Photos)

Asked By:Thrifty4911 in California, CA

What are non surgical and surgical options that can fix this? When I was around 15 or 16 I had a pretty angular face. My cheekbones stuck out and my jawline was straight with my chin protruding a little as shown in the pictures. These photos were more recently after I got my braces taken off (like a few months after). Now my cheeks have no volume and my jaw is angled downwards. What could have possible caused this? Sleeping too much, laying down too much? I’m 18 now and just took these photos.
