Thanks for your reply. No my face is perfectly round. Same size on both sides. As for protein I only have chicken now and then on my salad. I don't think its all that much. It use to be the water I drink the more it would go down a bit. Now for the past 3 months the more water I drink the bigger it gets. It targets my face-cheeks and the area below my ears seem to hold a lot, like water reservoirs.
