When you regain the weight, it first goes to your vital organs. (Many women in early recovery say they feel like "an ethiopian child" with a distended belly and stick arms and legs). Your face is not the first thing your body wants to take care of. Redistribution of weight can take quit a while--especially if you suffered for many years. My guess is that your face will slowly fill out a bit more. If it remains guant, perhaps you are not truly at your set point. Or, you may just have a thinner face.
Time will tell. I know it's a pain in the tush to wait. :( Hope you have lots of good support!

I would have to ask you a couple of questions. First, how old are you? If you're not young, you probably can't gain weight in your face very easily. Second, are you just at a healthy weight, or are you actually healthy?? Those are two different things, you know. If you're young but not healthy, gaining weight in your face will be harder.
