Sudden Fat Loss Right Under Cheek Bones? (photo)

alx
Recently I've noticed a lack of fat right under my cheek bones. It extends from the inner corner of my eye to under my cheekbone. At first I thought it was because of overall fat loss in my body since I was dieting. I've gained some weight to see if that might fix the issue, my face got rounder but the loss of fat in that particular area is still there. It's almost as if my face has a sagging look now and I'm only 24. What can cause this? What are some effective procedures?
