I think your whole life shows in your face and you should be proud of that.

Your face, it’s like your resume to the world. It has your whole life on it. Your successes, your failures, and your weight loss?
How does your face change after losing weight? I bet you think you know the answer, but let’s take a closer look.
You may be surprised that science has found out about the effects of weight loss on the face. Enough gibber-gabber, let’s get into it!
Your face looks more attractive.
I bet this was your first answer when I asked the question. It turns out science says you’re right. Research says that after tremendous weight loss, people consider you to be more attractive.
A 2015 study explores what happens to the human face after weight loss. Researchers found that after a massive decrease in weight, subjects looked more attractive.
The study uses a mean attractiveness score to calculate attractiveness. A survey given to random people generated the mean attractiveness score.
All but 4 of the subjects were more attractive after losing weight in their face. These results suggest that losing weight in the face does make people give you a second look.
It is worth noting that number 14 on that list lost the most in terms of BMI. They went from 38 BMI to 26 BMI. Along with that drop in BMI, they also lost 49% of their excess weight.
Their case is noteworthy because their attractiveness score and their weight loss are positively correlated. The more weight you lose, the more attractive you look.
