Any thought on what this is? - Face "dent"

Are you taking statin drugs? I had a dental patient who had severe muscle wasting due to taking atorvastatin for a very short time. It caused his right pectoralis and part of his right cheek (zygomaticus) to divot like yours. The muscle wasting is called rhabdomyolysis. I’d stop statins and ask about that.
Best wishes to you.

I do take Atorvostatin, and have for several years. If it was due to that, why all of the sudden?
