Nah I have prominent zygos, its just that fat is cucking me hard and I have a lot of fat on my cheeks and chin. I wonder if losing fat can actually shorten it

If thats the case, should I go for 15% body fat instead of 10%? (Im 25% )

Its rare for the face to store fat at the philtrum, the midface ratio is entirely genetical i would say. If you're 25% bf the only ratios that are legitimately being affected by the fat is total face height to width, fwhr, esr, and bigonial. Although is not a trend, people that are very overweight usually have shorter midfaces, maybe it has to do with the fat around the lips. Overall i dont think fat can make your midface longer as it is more prone to making it look shorter. I might be wrong tho idk im talking from experience
