How do i prevent the enlarged cheek fat or puffiness of the face from taking birth control pills?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not a side effect: Most women have no problems with birth control pills, but occasionally side effects such as breakthrough bleeding, nausea, headaches, mood changes, or breast tenderness. Most women do not gain weight with the pill. "cheet fat/puffiness" is not something that i would say is likely to be due to the pill.
