Does Propecia or its generic form cause facial bloating or water retention in the face?

I've been on generic Propecia for 2 weeks and have noticed some facial bloating the past few days. I've read online it can be a side effect of Propecia.

No, there is no evidence it increases appetite. I suggest a consultation with a cosmetic dermatologist with experience in hair restoration and maintenance. Some great options for hair restoration and maintenance are prp injections which can stimulate hair growth. Hope this helps.
