Anyone know how to differentiate between thick skin and facial fat?

Inb4 “lose weight” because despite me being 6’0 and 150 lbs and being called skinny my whole life, I still have a round/fat looking face so currently I’m cutting. And despite me being 136 lbs at this height at one point and still having this roundish face; I will still cut for the next two months.

But I’ve had many people tell me it’s just thick skin.

It is a mix of many stuff, thick skin, fat and not robust enough so you'll end up with the roundish look.

Could be. I just don’t know which it primarily is.

Avoid salt intake & lose water weight for a few days to notice the difference

the darker the skin the thicker it is which is why blacks age so well since theyre skin is thick and doesent wrinkle as easy

Caliper-measured skin thickness is similar in white and black women - PubMed

Unlike bone density, there is no significant difference in non-sun-exposed skin thickness between white and black women.

pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov

>Results: There was no statistically significant difference in skin thickness in white (1.41 +/- 0.01 mm) compared with black (1.39 +/- 0.02 mm) women(P =. 3).

it will be about 2mm on most places on the face before you get to the subcutaneous layer, this probably doesn't vary much by ethnicity. You are probably recessed/have non-androgenic fat deposits

Perhaps. But just for confirmation could you dm me and I’ll send you a front + a side pic?

Depends on your bones if you have none don’t waste your time losing more weight

I guess I was wrong I honestly thought that was the case
