moon-faced
Having plump cheeks
Moon-faced describes someone with a round, full face—broad and flat like the full moon.
The term is neutral or mildly unflattering depending on context: a cheerful, moon-faced child.
In medicine, moon face refers to facial swelling caused by corticosteroid use or Cushing's syndrome.
