No, what you're describing is a minoxidil side affect. Please see my threat over in the growth stimulant forum on this very topic.

I’ve never used minoxidil! I am probably a norwood 1.5, but i see thinning forming beyond my hairline so i jumped right on finasteride. I am also 25 years old. I am probably destined to be a norwood 2 - 2.5 but i have a natural widows peak, that would make recession make me look like vegeta lol. but no i never used minoxidil. i am also in very good shape, and consistently do keto / paleo. My jaw definitely look less defined and my face looks somewhat bloated. it’s really weird . i am also not into fear mongering, just not sure what’s going on here

Could be due to less dht and more estrogen. This normally takes time to occur though.

if that’s the case is the only way to get rid of it to stop taking it. also i am not one of the crazy people who think it changes your bone structure lmao. i think it can bloat you. will this go away if my body adjusts i’ve been on it just over a month.
