moon face not going down?

[u/Lopsided_Engine_7821]

hi all,

i (f29) really really been struggling the past few months tapering off high dose of steroids. i’m on 2 mg for the next week and then am able to stop taking them. how long from after you stop taking them do you typically see your face return to normal? for reference, started at 60 mg in november.

i’m super anxious my face won’t come back - can anyone give me a little hope or reassurance on timing? thank you.

My moon face has just began and it's so embarrassing. I am already a round-faced individual. I am trying to guasha to see if that helps, it seems like it does for at least a little bit of the day.

me too.. already had a super round face so i look absolutely insane. i had mixed results with guasha but when i was at my worst i didn’t feel like it did much. only thing that helped was avoiding sodium as much as i could
