My face has began gaunt and thin, my chin is now very narrow, cheeks are loose and sagging and I have lost all the volume around my eyes, the eye sockets are looking very bony. My skin texture has also changed, it is very loose and thin with large pores. Also very noticeable laugh lines. Is this just normal aging? I What kind of options there is for these problems?
