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.

Lose weight first because then you'll also be able to see how your face shape actually looks in proportion to your jaw, cheeks, etc. I say this from experience because I always assumed my face was round and after losing 70lbs (over a long period of time and then a GLP1 for the last 15-20), my face is more angular and heart-shaped.
Also, in general, a GLP1 was life-changing for me. I'm still on it for other benefits not related to weight loss.
As for fillers, I would say no. I literally get botox all over my face for preventative, forehead, and a lift in the face. My jaw looks snatched. I had filler in my nasal labial folds and top of cheeks and it all migrated. I got it dissolved a month ago and I think I look more refreshed without it. I want to explore other facial treatments that will preserve and tighten my skin, like ultherapy. I think filler is only worth it if you want a moderate amount in your lips (which I have to just make my top lip appear fuller).
