It can take months to lose enough weight to make your face look gaunt, but while you are attempting that, there are methods that may help you create the illusion that your face is a bit thinner. Keep in mind that not all of these methods may work on all face types just simply because of the structural limitations of your natural face shape (a face with a large skeletal jawbone may never look that thin, for instance.) Whether or not you will be able to lose weight from your face is also dependent on how much collagen you have lost from your face due to aging, whether or not you are insulin resistant and therefore chronically obese and lifestyle factors such as smoking or the effects of prescribed medications on your body.
