How to determine whether the face is edema

For many people, if they feel that their face is particularly fat, they must judge whether it is fat caused by obesity or edema. There is an essential difference. If it is an edematous face, it means that there is a problem with the physical constitution, which may be a sign of disease. In fact, it is relatively simple to judge. Just press the face with your fingers with a little force, and then release it. If it can recover immediately, it means it is fat. If the recovery time is longer, it is an edematous face.

How to judge edema face

If it is facial swelling, it is usually most obvious in the morning. The swelling appears as depression when pressed, and slowly returns to normal after releasing the pressure. Therefore, to determine whether it is edema of the face, you might as well get up early and press the fleshy parts of the face with your fingers to see if there is an obvious depression where you press, and this depression will recover more slowly. But if it is a fat face, the skin will quickly return to its original shape after pressing, and there will be no depressions or "pits" on the skin surface.

Teach you to distinguish the three types of fat faces

1. Edema face

This situation is usually caused by drinking too much water, especially drinking too much water at night, which slows down the body's metabolism and causes water metabolism disorders, resulting in the inability to excrete water as quickly as during the day, or because of the accumulation of skin toxins on the face, all of which may lead to facial edema. In addition, facial edema usually occurs two days before menstruation and gradually improves after the menstruation ends.

Solution: You can slim your face through daily massage, which is also relatively easy to eliminate.

2. Fat face

This situation is mostly caused by not paying attention to eating habits, overeating, and over-nutrition of food, which causes excess fat to accumulate in the face and form a chubby face.

Solution: People with fat faces can eat some face-slimming fruits and vegetables, such as nuts, winter melon, natto, carrots, etc., and adjust healthy eating habits. In addition, you can also do some face-slimming exercises and face-slimming massages.

3. Masseter muscle hypertrophy

Don't underestimate the masseter muscle, a factor that causes facial obesity. If you eat too hard or frequently use your teeth to chew snacks, the muscles on your face will become more and more developed and firm, causing your face to become larger.

How to identify: When you close your teeth, touch the masseter muscles on both sides at the angle of your mandible and feel the contraction and thickness of the masseter muscles. If you compare the contraction of the masseter muscles, you can obviously feel the thickening of the masseter muscles and the masseter muscles.

Solution: For cases of masseter muscle hypertrophy, you can only use face-slimming injections to slim your face. However, face-slimming injections cannot be done blindly. Instead, you must follow the doctor's arrangements and listen to the professional doctor's advice. Girls who are thinking about getting face-slimming injections must pay attention!
