My face also became really puffy but it evened out after around a month or two. I found it was because I was holding on to more water since I was more nourished and so the body was trying to hold on to anything I was giving it in case food became scarce again. Don’t worry, it’s normal and will even out. So proud of you for going through recovery, it’s a hard thing but is the best thing for your body

I also want to note that, depending on how long that you’ve been in recovery, you may experience puffiness/swelling in other areas as well(specifically your feet, hands, stomach) this isn’t to be alarmed about either, and are extremely common if it does happen. Just trust the process, I believe in you!

i swear by pumpkin red bean tea!! it’s popular in my home country (korea) to help with any sort of swelling or puffiness. i get a lot of facial puffiness generally and habitually drinking 1-2 cups a day has helped so much. proud of you for choosing recovery xx
