Facial fat accumulation can sometimes be linked to **hormonal imbalances**, such as **
thyroid dysfunction, cortisol excess (Cushing’s syndrome), or estrogen fluctuations
### **Possible Causes**
- **Thyroid Issues**: Hypothyroidism can cause fluid retention and facial puffiness.
- **Cortisol Imbalance**: Long-term stress or steroid use can lead to "moon face."
- **Estrogen & Progesterone Changes**: Hormonal shifts, especially during menopause, can affect fat distribution.
- **Insulin Resistance**: Conditions like PCOS or
diabetes can contribute to facial fat retention.
