I used to be extremely skinny, 90lbs at 5'4. When I was underweight, my face used to look very defined and slim. However, now that I've gained weight to 136 lbs, my face looks so much chubbier and irks me. I'm debating if I should starve again to maintain my slimmer face or get buccal fat removal or do cool sculpting on my face.
