Brief Answer:
Need more details
Detailed Answer:
Hi and thanks for your query.
Yes it may be possible. Usually the fullness on face is due to soft tissues like muscles and fat. Fluids also are present and cause fullness. That is their loss in any way may cause thinning of the concerned part. This loss may happen for many reasons including some exercise of the face, hormonal disturbances, some conditions causing dystrophy of muscle mass or fat, fluid loss, etc.
Thus I need to know more details about your condition like when it started, how it started, etc. Do you have any other symptoms? Did you take any medicine recently?

Brief Answer:
Family seems concerned
Detailed Answer:
Hi again,
Face may seem tired due to certain medical conditions like anemia, liver disorders, etc. Just to make sure that everything is ok you may go for the basic blood tests including complete blood count, liver function tests, kidney function tests, etc. These should be done yearly anyways.
If the tests are normal and you do not have any other symptoms, then you can ignore the remarks and move on in life. It is quite possible that family member see you after long time and express their love in the form of concern.
