Title: Why is my face changing so quickly?
Post by: Angélique LaCava on January 11, 2016, 11:20:28 PM
I'm not complaining but last night I went to the bar n people who hadn't seen me since I started hormones a month and a half ago asked me if I was contouring different n I'm not... so that made me think that the hormones must be changing my face.

Hormones change the fat placement in your face as well as your body. I responded poorly to hormones in both my face and body while others can have major changes in a short period of time. In the face, small changes can make a major difference in appearance so while you may not notice much change, others might.

A little known fact is that, independent of HRT, people gain and lose weight in their face before it's evident anywhere else on the body.

From what I have noticed about my own HRT experience is that other people notice the face changing if they have not seen you in a while but I didn't notice because small changes happened daily and I got used to it without realising, so I did not think it was much of a change lol.
It is however a clear change from recent to old pictures.

Exactly what Kayla88 said .  I look at me so often in mirror that i dont see the changes. However if i look at  old picture im like WTF who is this lol.
