A recent illness has caused some unexpected & unwanted weight loss leaving my face looking gaunt, any suggestions what I can do? I’ve tried eating more thinking if I gained weight I could fix it, but no matter how much I ate I still have this gaunt sickly, hollowed out look, and I have only been able to gain back 3 pounds out of the 15 I lost. I was very ill for 2 and a half years, but I’m well now. Any suggestions as to what to do? Fillers maybe? I’m 38. Thank you
