Anyone gain facial fat on prednisone despite actually losing weight?

I was on previously high doses ( as high as 20mg) and now a year in tapered down to 5mg. I’ve managed to somehow lose close to 15 pounds during that time ( while taking prednisone) and although I look slimmer, my cheeks seem more puffy than before. I have been taking 5mg for about 2-3 months and it doesn’t seem like much has changed. I wonder if it’s fat redistribution and if any of you have dealt with the same thing?

How long did it take to resolve ( if at all) ?

I’m considering getting a grey gradient lens pair or maybe a pair with blue lenses with thick frames, something wayfarer or moscot esque. I’m afraid it’ll look dorky or effeminate. What do you guys think? Any recommendations?

Looking to correct dark circles under the eyes, they’re not super bad but noticeable no matter the day. How can I conceal them without it lookigg my makeupy? What do I use? Don’t know where to start and would appreciate some advice.

I know that most of repair and remodeling happens within the first year but I’m looking for anecdotal stories . In my case the scar seems to e only visible from certain angles and particularly in photos, wondering what I can do several years out. Already using tretinoin and moisturizing, hesitant to microneedle because the casing was never removed .
