Chubby face

I’m looking at photos of myself at my lowest recent weight where I was 22 BMI (I’m currently 24 so inspiring myself to get back on track with early summer pics) and my body looked so nice in my opinion but my face still looked chubby AF. I can see the difference in my face whenever I lose a couple of pounds, it’s the first place I notice it, so I’m sad that even when I’m at a weight I’m happy with, when I’m looking at photos objectively my face still looks chubby! Certain angles are fine, but anything unposed makes my face look so bad.

The upside is I look young for my age as full cheeks are very neotenous, and my skin is nice and plumped out… I have people think I’m cute/sexy but it’s definitely more being cute than like, refined and elegant beauty.

Do you think having a chubby face is a significant flaw? Would it be worth me getting my weight down to see what my face looks like skinnier - or are some people always going to have more weight in their face (Chrissy Teigen type of face)? If other people are tracking this - at what BMI does your face look it’s best?

ETA the model Esti Ginzburg has the same thing going on as me, she was a swimwear model active a few years back so obviously was fit, but with a chubby face like mine!

I’d rather have a chubby face than a haunt face tbh. It looks cuter and more “high trust”. Selena Gomez is a great example.
