Part 2/7:

OIC face is characterized by specific features that emerge after rapid or irregular weight loss, particularly in individuals seeking to shed excess pounds quickly, whether through dieting, surgery, or other weight management methods. Surgeons point out that these features closely resemble the natural signs of facial aging—primarily due to volume loss in key areas of the face.

When the face experiences significant fat reduction, several telltale signs appear:

• Sunken cheeks: The natural fullness diminishes, leading to a hollow appearance.

• Sagging skin: As volume diminishes, skin may lose its tautness and start to sag.

• Overall hollowing: The entire facial structure can appear lackluster and gaunt, giving a more aged look.
