Title. Also, I am on Accutane I had really bad acne, but it's fixed now, left with PIE.
Why does my face look so bloated/puffy despite being 9-10% BF?
Also, looking for suggestions on how I can improve besides skin & coloring. (Work in progress) (Also, have braces on currently)
Looking for advice, thank you. (Pictures are completely unfrauded)

get d bloat powder or increase you're pottasium intake and lower you're sodium, drink 4L of water per day, if you already do this, then you might wanna switch your accutane supply

Genetics bro, you may retain fat on your cheeks thats hard to eliminate, aqualyx would do wonders

Possibly I'll check it out.

Yes, diet is good, I've cut out all processed sugar and eating clean foods now.

Yeah, this was what I thinking genetics is what it is. I'll probably do aqualyx soon. Thx for the recommendation.

Were you just as bloated before Accutane, or did you notice that Accutane changed things further?

if ur really at 9-10% bf good diet
then its most likely just genetics or maybe accutane

but ur face changes as u get older people tend to hold more fat at younger ages

I'd say genetics most likely. That or I need to get my bloodwork done, someone also recommended this not long ago. But wanting to make sure before I spend $300 on checking everything.

Yeah, maybe it's just baby fat still.

high e2 can also cause bloating or general hormonal imbalance
