My face is mutating into strange forms...

...not as in evolution or in X-Men.

It's just that in the past 12-16 months my face has assumed totally different forms. Only my eyes, nose and lips are identical when compared in photos.

I'm a guy and 19 years old.

My face first started changing rapidly shortly after I started doing regular gym. It gained fat and became rounder and rounder!
I thought it was a side effect of not having done regular gym for a long time (due to health reasons) and suddenly starting.

I told myself: okay, people grow, people change, "face it"!

But the process never stopped. I have the impression that my cheeks are getting larger each time I do heavy work out, whereas the length between chin and forehead diminishes.

Currently, the form of my face is... hmmm flat? Yeah, flat and fat.

The fitness guides say that muscles develop, but I see wobbling fat in my cheeks.

Now, could somebody explain me what's going on, and maybe also suggest how I can have my face back?

LOL, niice mental image there jokerman :p:

Seriously tho, I wouldn't worry too much, its probably the amount of exercise you're doing is toning the muscles and making it seem different. If you're really that concerned tho, pay a visit to your GP :smile:

What's especially noticeable is when you go into adulthood. Someone's age can be told by the shape of their face. This affects mostly women: for example cheeks becoming more hollow (and why big cheeks are a sign of young). I'm a guy and I've notice this on myself. What I find a bit scary that it's not totally symmetric.

Well, then I'll go to my GP... but I don't think she'll care much about it if it's only a matter of growth...
