My face lost a large amount of volume all over. Pictures are 6 months apart. Im only 27. Im 10lbs heavier in the after pic. What could cause this volume loss? Ive seen a doctor but all tests came back normal. I would like to get fillers in both temples and sides of the face right under the zygoma (both sides). My zygoma is currently protruding out and would like to have my face full like in my before pic. Ive circled the areas in the after pic. Are these areas easy to treat with fillers?
