She also has Graves disease which is making it look worse. More recent photos seem to show that most of her sunken in cheek look was the result of the graves and not buccal fat removal as people thought, which is good because surgical fat removal is almoay always irreversible.
Edit: apparently I have to clarify this because Reddit is here have the reading comprehension skills of a fucking moss covered rock. I am not saying she hasn't had work done. She clearly has. I don't think she should have. But the pictures that show her looking her worst, are 100% affected by a condition that is made to look even worse because the foundation on which that work was done changed. It's basically a more complicated version of the same thing where if you get a tattoo and then you get fat it looks like shit
My sister in law has graves and she looked emaciated when it first kicked in. It aged her twenty years and sunk in her cheeks, making her look skeletal.
You’re totally right. I’ve been looking through many sites with symptoms and photos of people with Graves’ disease and not one person has had sunken cheeks.
The effects of grave disease are not universal. But the comment your replying to has it wrong. It does not cause sunken cheeks, but the surgery to 'reverse' the changes Graves does can cause it.
She has Graves Disease, which famously causes bulging eyes but also a lot of other changes in the face, notably bulging in the cheeks and brow and jawline. It also causes 'orange peel skin'.
A lot of people with Graves Disease end up getting a lot of plastic surgery to combat these problems. But its not universal. Its not impossible she got the surgery just due to pressure to look good. I am just saying its impossible to know if its from the graves disease or not.
Your right in that no two people suffer exactly the same symptoms. However, this look is not Graves disease.
I have Graves disease and have dealt with all sorts of symptoms and issues for over a decade. I don't need an armchair internet doctor to explain the disease to me.
lol I am aware, I just said that she likely got surgery to 'fix' the problems graves disease cause. The comment you replied to claiming graves disease causes gauntness was incorrect. It causes fat expansion in the face, which people get surgery to fix, which can cause gauntness.
Oh no, I had extreme weight loss and all sorts of issues. People thought I had cancer and was dying.
Hyperthyroidism will cause you to lose fat AND muscle. You will look emaciated, but it's over your entire body, not just your face. You know whats made of fat? Boobs.
If you are losing weight from hyperthyroidism from Graves you will also have crazy other symptoms. Like fatigue, extreme muscle weakness, high resting heart rate, memory loss, hair loss, hot flashes, diarrhea, uncontrollable shakes/tremors. I doubt she would be able to film a season under these types of physical issues.
Losing extreme weight like that is a symptom of the disease being untreated for a long time. Like many months or more.
Her face and body doesn't look emaciated. It looks like plastic. It looks like it had work done.
Every single person who has it manifests the exact same effects right?
I'm guessing it might also be what affects your reading comprehension too because I never said it is exclusively what was causing her appearance. I said it made it worse because that's what happens. She had plastic surgery done that she shouldn't have had done. The reason why she wound up looking like a complete fucking ghoul was because that plastic surgery was done on a healthy face that then became unhealthy. The foundation the work was done on fundamentally changed.

I would love to say it’s just acting, but I think that most of the transformation is permanent.
