While being overweight is unhealthy, if you lose too much weight, you may shed enough fat from your face to make it appear less full. More hollow cheeks and a thinner chin can age a person's face by highlighting microscopic wrinkles, which most people like to avoid. However, avoiding the loss of any of the fat that gives your face its form isn't always achievable.
Spot Reduction and Facial Fullness
According to the American Council on Exercise, no matter how much you'd like to pick which portion of your body sheds fat, it's simply not feasible. You can't pick whatever portion of your body doesn't thin down to avoid losing fullness in your face. Exercising one portion of your body at the expense of others does not result in that body part losing weight. A famous research published in Research Quarterly for Exercise and Sport in 1984 found that even when men completed 5,004 sit-ups over the course of 27 days, they eliminated roughly the same amount of fat from their shoulders and back ends as from their stomachs.
The Site of Fat Loss
You don't lose fat cells as you lose weight; instead, the cells shrink. When you lose weight, you lose fat proportionally across your body, which means you shed the most fat from the areas of your body where you store the most. As a result, even after losing weight, you'll have the same body form, but you'll be a little smaller everywhere over. People also tend to lose weight from the last area they put it on. As a result, if you had a narrow face that got rounder as you gained weight, the plumpness in your cheeks may be the first thing to go when you slim down again.
Differences in Fat Storage by Gender
In general, women tend to gain weight around their hips and thighs, whereas males gain weight around their abdomen. Sex-specific fat is fat that has been stored in the hips and thighs as a result of female sex hormones. Having a fat reserve can be beneficial during pregnancy since the body prefers to hang onto that fat and emphasise fat loss in other places including the belly, chest, arms, and face. As a result, you might not be able to remove fat from your lower body without sacrificing part of your facial fullness.
You undoubtedly already know that exercise may help you lose weight faster, but it also offers additional advantages when it comes to weight reduction. Resistance exercise, for example, helps you lose weight by strengthening and toning your muscles. Strength training also ensures that the majority of the weight you lose is fat rather than lean tissue. Exercise-induced weight loss is less likely than diet-induced weight loss to occur from the face, which may be particularly beneficial for persons wanting to retain fullness in their faces.
According to a 2003 research published in Medicine and Science in Sports and Exercise, weight reduction via exercise appears to preferentially target abdominal fat. At least two resistance-training sessions and 300 minutes of moderate-intensity cardio should be included in your weekly routine. When you can converse but not sing without feeling breathless while exercising, you're exercising at a moderate level.
Choosing a Weight-Loss Objective
The more fat you burn, the less likely you are to lose facial volume. There is a range of weights that are considered healthy for each height. If you're concerned about your face getting too thin, don't strive for a weight on the lower end of the scale. A healthy weight for someone 5 feet, 5 inches tall is between 114 and 144 pounds, and for someone 5 feet, 9 inches tall, it's between 128 and 162 pounds. Consult your doctor about your appropriate weight range, and then aim for the mid- to high-end to maximise your chances of maintaining some face fullness.
