I guess there are a couple of possibilities:

#1 Deformity caused by the mask and straps pressure.
The mask should float gently on your face. Not tight at all.
Masks will typically seal better that way too, than when tight.

#2 Air leaking through your sinus's into cavities/tissue in your face.
I have NEVER heard of this and it's just a guess.
Maybe a Dr here can chime in.

#3 Some sort of fluid-retention caused by the effects of better
sleep?

#4 Totally unrelated to CPAP usage.
