The "way" people: loose body fact is variable and differs from person to person and even in the same person as they age! "I can see you have lost weight your face shows it!" is a VERY common observation. If the weight loss is HEALTHY and not due to a medical problem, there is nothing to be worried about Hope this is helpful! Healthy New Year Dr Z

Skin excess : Congratulations on the weight loss. Skin will stretch to accommodate the underlying excess tissue. When weight is lost, the skin falls inward and may develop a crinkly and droopy appearance. Give this a little time to settle in, but it may remain and you will have to be evaluated by an oculoplastics surgeon for correction.
