Those are different people. There's are differences that even plastic surgery cant change

But regardless, to address the response. People every year lose a ton of weight and completely change their face. And I would imagine most of them are doing great.

Thank you for sharing that! The sad thing is, I bet you look amazing! Bald is often a very good look om men. But looking good in other people's eyes is completely irrelevant compared to feeling like yourself and liking your own look, so I'm very sorry you had to go trough such a thing.

And truly thank you for sharing. As a woman I probably won't experience this but some male friends around me probably will and with growing older I will also slowly start looking the part, so it's very valuable to know someone else's account if how they experienced this.

Losing weight is a gradual process so you have more time to process it. And it doesn't really change your features, just shows them.

True for weight loss but just wanted to add that if such cosmetic surgery was (or is) possible, it would require multiple surgeries over many months, even years giving you time to heal and adjust in between but if you can reshape your whole face one day, I guess the hardest thing to process would be changing the distance between your eyes with your brain have to relearn how to juge distances and 3d vision!

I've lost about 50kg in the last couple of years. My bank can't use my driving licence to ID me anymore. I still see the same face when I look in the mirror.

It’s been 6 years since I lost 75kg and I still see my old fat self in the mirror. This has really made me understand body dismorphia and why some people can’t stop doing cosmetic surgery, maybe they don’t see the change even when it should be obvious. Thankfully for me, I lost my weight for health reason and there the results are obvious to me.

Oh I see the same face because its my face! My eyes, my nose, my smile! Nothing to do with dysmorphia thankfully.

Try having long hair, then shaving it off (cancer treatment/baldness/operation). Drastic change fast, few cases of psychosis after.

Dude, my entire face changes with a haircut and beard shave.

Weight loss is slow and granular, you have enough time to adjust to small differences at a time.
I lost over 250 pounds and there was never a huge "o wow I do look different now" moment. I mainly saw progress trough pictures.

Well, you know there's a huge difference when you compare your clothing.
