Face fat loss - can anyone provide me with advice in addressing this issue?

Question

Hi, I've been consistently working out seven times a week and maintaining a healthy diet for the past two weeks, and I've noticed significant improvements in my overall fitness over the past three months. However, I'm still struggling to reduce the fat in my face. Can anyone provide me with advice or assistance in addressing this issue?

Facial fat does decrease with weight loss, and this is quite apparent in patients who have had A LOT of weight loss, like those who have had bariatric surgery or have used ozempic (sometimes called ozempic face).
It can take quite a bit of weight loss and time to lose facial fat, additionally sometimes the issue is loose skin and not just fat. Once you have gotten to your goal weight I would recommend you see a plastic surgeon to see what can be done to improve your look.
Hope this helps!

If you have full cheeks you might consider a buccal fat removal where fat is removed from your cheeks using an incision inside your mouth.
