Ever notice your face looks bloated one day, sharp the next, and you didn’t even change diet or weight? Daily micro-fluctuations in hormones cortisol, aldosterone, estrogen, testosterone affect facial water retention, vascular tone, and subcutaneous fluid.
High cortisol = puffier face, weaker jawline, more midface bloat.
High aldosterone = facial swelling, especially around eyes and jaw.
Testosterone swings = subtly affects facial vascularity and "fullness."
Understanding your personal triggers can help stabilize your face’s day-to-day look. Long-term, this is why lifestyle, sleep, and stress reduction are foundational before even thinking about surgeries or injectables.
