A gaunt face refers to a face that appears thin and bony. The term is usually used to describe the face of someone who looks sick, malnourished, or unhealthy. It generally isn’t used to describe a naturally thin but healthy-looking face. As you age, your face tends to lose fat. This loss of fat can cause sunken cheeks and a more angular appearance. Certain lifestyle habits, such as not wearing sunscreen, not eating a balanced diet, and smoking, can age your face more quickly. Illnesses that cause weight loss can also cause your face to look gaunt if your overall body fat percentage drops. Let’s look at more reasons your face may look gaunt and what your options are for treating it. Gaunt face and aging Subcutaneous fat, or the fat beneath your skin, gives your face volume and plumpness. As you get older, you tend to lose some of this fat. This loss makes your face appear thinner and bonier. Changes to your skin can also make your face to look more aged. As you get older, your skin loses elasticity due to a reduction in the proteins collagen and elastin. Losing these proteins causes more sagging skin and wrinkles. Gaunt face and illness A gaunt face can be caused by any condition that causes weight loss. The following are just a few of many examples. Cancer The majority of people who develop cancer will lose weight. Unexplained weight loss of more than 10 pounds is often an early warning sign of undiagnosed cancer. Cancer treatments like radiation or chemotherapy can also lead to decreased appetite and weight loss, which may make your face appear gaunt. Eating disorders Eating disorders like anorexia nervosa and bulimia nervosa can lead to excessive weight loss, resulting in a thinner-looking face.

Regular exposure to these damaging rays may speed up the aging process and make your face appear thinner more quickly. Regular exposure to UV rays can also cause wrinkles and saggy skin because of reduced skin elasticity. Medical treatment for a gaunt face There are several medical treatment options available for helping you regain lost facial volume. Facial fillers Facial fillers are gels that are injected beneath your skin to restore lost facial volume and smooth wrinkles. According to the American Board of Cosmetic Surgery, more than 1 million people have such a procedure each year. Dermal fillers can be made of several different materials but are commonly made of hyaluronic acid, calcium hydroxyapatite, or poly-L-lactic acid. The procedure costs about $540 to $1,680. Fat transfer Fat transfer or fat grafting is a procedure that takes fat from one part of your body and injects it into your face to make it appear fuller. The donor fat is usually taken from your abdomen or inner thighs, often using liposuction. The prices for this surgery vary widely, but you can expect to pay about $5,000 in the United States. Home remedies There are thing things you can do at home to avoid developing a gaunt face. The two most basic remedies: eating a balanced diet with enough calories to maintain a healthy body weight and wearing sunscreen when you’re outside. Taking care of your overall health will have a larger effect than any cream or serum you can apply to your face. Most products target your skin but not the fat underneath. Moisturizing your face regularly may give your face a fuller appearance by keeping your skin hydrated. Olive oil and coconut oil are two oils you may have in your house already that have moisturizing properties.
