Need help please! Indentions around b&g's eyes/face

Has anyone seen or heard of this? My 2 month old b&g's face started getting these depressions/indentions around his face and eyes. I'm really concerned and scared. Also at the top of his beak are two indentions. He weighed in at 1,102 g this morning so he isn't underfed or starving. It's like his white skin shrank. I'm baffled. I have a medical book I'm going to look at right now. Please if anyone knows what this could be please help. I may be going to the vet tomorrow :( Thanks.

I'm going to take a pic right now..I've seen him drink water only 3 times. Maybe that could be it.

I still would take him to the vet. He is too beautiful and special to take any chances with.

This one you can really see the dimple on his beak

Sort of hard to see in this pic but the indention is under his eyes and below the nostril.

Is it just me or does his eye also look a little droopy?
