Can losing muscle (not just fat) in face by dietin make face appear thinner & posibly improve apperance or is it jus losin fat that will make a change?

Can't lose muscle: by dieting, only fat. Sometimes people develop increased muscle mass in the face, for example, by chewing gum only on one side: that overused jaw muscle might get bigger than the other side. So, not using the muscle for chewing could make this better. Some Asian physicians are using botox to decrease the size of jaw muscles in women who want a more narrowed (feminine) lower face.
