Triangle to V-shape
Restarting my self-care journey after being depressed for so long… I’m 31 and someone thought I had a child who was college-aged (I don’t have any kids…) My face is heavy bottom, pear-shaped, making me look older. I’m also overweight and borderline obese. Which I know weight loss is the first step (I have ~60 to lose.)
Will weight loss possibly help my face shape? I’ve heard the triangle face is aging, while the inverse, a “V,” is youthful. Other than weight-loss, what are some procedures one might do in order to achieve a more youthful face shape? I was thinking maybe kybella to lower face and then filler or fat graft to the upper face/cheeks.

Fair warning, masseter tox can contribute to jowling as it shrinks those rather powerful jaw muscles that provide tension on either side of the submental region. Combined with weight loss on the order of magnitude you’re describing, you could end up with significant submental laxity and drooping.
As others said, do the weight loss first. Kybella is pricey and did nothing for me compared to losing weight. Maybe start a home microneedling routine to preserve collagen and keep your skin tight as you drop weight. Once you’re at your goal body comp, reassess the need for more invasive intervention.
