why do meth/heroinc/etc addicts often have the same face shape?

623 viewsBiologyOther

When I say “face shape” I mean they often have squarish/jutting jawlines and somewhat sunken cheeks. I see it in those that are very heavy users of opiates or amphetamines.

Is it the method of administering that causes it (IV vs. smoking etc) or something else?

Weight loss combined with malnutrition/dehydration. “Ozempic face” (and anybody who rapidly loses weight) is the same. Plus, as you age, the collagen in your skin loses integrity, this is why people who lose weight when they are older often look haggard and sick – there isn’t enough connective tissue to do the good, uplifting work the fat was doing.
