I'm really concerned about my face looking thin and elongated even though I'm gaining weight on my body. It kind of makes me look older, and Id really love to have chubby cheeks that make my face look healthier and fuller. Could you give me some advice on what kind of diet I should be following to achieve this? And would taking protein supplements like Protex help with making my face look healthier?
