I started using Saw Palmetto in September 2008 to battle my hair loss. At the time I was using both Topical (Revivogen) and Saw Palmetto orally 1500 mg/day (berry). In the middle of November 08 I started to notice changes in my face. It became rounder and I seemed to gain weight, but only in the facial area. I Stopped the tablets almost instantly but continued with the topical treatment. As time went by (Jan,Feb 2009) The weight gain in the face didn’t subside. On top of that I started to notice that my jawbones was shrinking and when looking at old pictures of me post saw palmetto, My face had changed significantly. My eyes is wider apart and my chin-bone has dropped. I know this may sound totally insane, but people I know have also pointed out that my appearance have changed. I know Saw Palmetto have similar attributes like Propecia and/or Proscar and was wondering if anyone have any answers to why this bone growth, or should I say degrowth is happening.
My real question is : Is it really possible for my facial bones to change shape during Saw Palmetto use (both orally and topical) - been using it for 3-4 months. I have googled it like crazy for about one year now, but haven’t had any real luck.
Been depressed for almost 1 year because of this . The only thing I need is a confirmation if this is possible or not- or if it’s just in my head.
.I have only been taking saw palmetto for 3-4 months
