Modern Family star Sarah Hyland has opened up to her fans about one of the common side effects she still deals with five years after her kidney transplant.

The 26-year-old actress received a kidney from her father in 2012 to cure a condition called dysplasia, when the organs do not develop properly.

Now, she is on a habitual dose of prednisone, an immunosuppressant steroid to prevent organ rejection and infections.

One of the common but harmless side effects is known as ‘moon face’ swelling.

On Saturday, Hyland posted an Instagram Story laying out how she deals with this on a day-to-day basis while juggling her career.
