A member asked:
I did a 5 day water fast a month ago and lost about 10 pounds. im worried that i may have did more harm than good. one concern is that my mouth area/lips seem to have lost volume. is this due to muscle imbalance? will they go back to normal?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
This is likely due to fluid loss and, once you are better hydrated, it should return to normal. If it doesn’t, you can see a dermatologist to evaluate the area. Good luck to you!
