Reflecting on my rapid weight loss, I wondered if I had done enough to prevent the hollowness or if it was even possible. I kept my protein intake high, ate all the vegetables I could, and maintained a steady routine of weight-lifting. What went wrong? After speaking with numerous aesthetic doctors, it was nice to know that I had done the best I could. Dr. Catharine Denning, an aesthetic dermatologist, tells me, “While eating properly won’t stop facial weight loss, it can help decrease the risk of reduced nutrition, which can make the skin look dull and impact hair retention.” Ultimately, though, there was nothing I could have done at home to prevent the effects of weight loss on my face completely.
