Brief Answer: EXPLAINED BELOW Detailed Answer: Hello THanks for writing to us with your health concern. ONly long term use of steroids ( Decdan ) can lead to facial puffiness. Since you had it with just one month of use, it must have been a heavy dose. May I know what was the indication for which you had to take the medication ? After stopping the medication, the edema and puffiness should go away in a few months. Please take a lot of fluids daily. Join a gymnasium / activity centre and have a dedicated fitness programme. May I know your height and weight please ? If you are overweight, you would need to exercise regularly. Consult a dietician and have a diet chart prepared for you. Exercise well for atleast 45 minutes 5 days a week. Swimming, pilates, yoga , sports like badminton, basketball , football - all these will help you to lose weight. There is no specific way to lose fat from the face, once you lose weight overall, you will look trimmer, and your face will appear younger, and the skin will glow. Avoid smoking, drinking and alcohol. Eat lean chicken cuts, fish, egg, nuts, fresh green leafy vegetables, fresh fruits. Cut down on sugar and salt ( sweets, ghee, butter, oil, fried food, processed food like pizza and pasta or burgers, pickles, papad , icecream , full fat milk ) Keep a habit of chewing gum, it is a facial workout. There are various other exercises targetted for the face, please check this link - WWW.WWWW.WW All the best. Please feel free to discuss further.
