Hello. So I have noticed that when I lose weight, my smile lines look different than when I am a few KGS heavier due to my cheeks being filled out I guess. The first pic is how the lines look when im on the thinner side, and the second is how they look when I have gained a few KGS. I'm discouraged to lose weight because of this. My cheeks do fill out when I have gained weight however always revert to how it looks on the first pic when I am leaner.
