Gaunt face without weight loss, I feel that a fat transfer is the most plausible option? (Photos)

Question

I've noticed a significant change to my appearance over the past few years. I find it abnormal but when I've mentioned it to my Dr they don't seem concerned. Is this just age or could it something more sinister? At the moment I feel that a fat transer is the most plausible option but would welcome other suggestions. Many thanks.

Hi there, it would be best to consult with a board-certified plastic surgeon to determine if you're a candidate for a facial fat transfer. If you're interested in other options, there are non-surgical treatments you could explore, like filler to the face. These would allow you to fill in hollow spots, around the eyes for example, as well as increase volume in areas such as the cheeks and chin.
