No, I'm still losing some of my original bone structure. There's less fat in my cheeks too (which I hate bc I used to love my cheeks). But I learned that tongue posture is supposed to help with the "dragging down" of the face. Just look up "tongue posture" and try to train yourself to do it. It's the only thing that's helping my face stay normal.

I'll be back with progress reports after a few more months.

This!

Practice good swallowing habits too, i.e. with the tongue touching the roof of your mouth every time you swallow.
And good body posture and good head posture which, besides being more beneficial to your health anyways, will also add some nice contact of your tongue to your palate, specifically the posterior (back) part of your tongue.

Take some pics so you can compare before and after. It'll be a few months before you start seeing a noticeable change.
