I understand you can increase muscle on parts like the arms and legs, but not sure about the face. One of the first places I lost fat was in the face... and I think it's mostly a matter of genetics. -------------- This donut has purple in the middle, purple is a fruit. - Homer (Simpson)

I had the same exact problem with your exact stats. 5'8 68kg. Your best bet is to just go on and add some muscle to your lean body. The little extra fat that you might gain will do only better for you since you already want to add a little. Just start lifting heavy and eating lots of protein and you'll soon feel better about yourself, and you'll start getting good complements and such. Good luck though! DX
