I believe that when done by a professional, treatments like filler and Botox can be great cosmetic enhancements. As a 26-year-old woman, I can definitely appreciate the benefits of lip filler, and I’ve seen some fantastic results with cheek filler as well. However, I’ve noticed that people who use these treatments often don’t look more youthful compared to those of the same age who haven’t had any work done.
I’m not saying they don’t look good, and I don’t want to offend anyone, but this observation has made me hesitant to try them myself. I don’t like the look of wrinkles (and I know most people don’t), so it feels like a double-edged sword.
Is there a certain age or method to incorporate these treatments without making yourself look 5-10 years older? I know aging is natural, but I’d prefer not to look 40 at 30.
It’s not the Botox that makes people look older—it’s overdone filler, especially in the cheeks and under-eye area. Trust me, I’ve been there.
I remember looking at a photo of myself and wondering how I suddenly looked so much older. After doing some research, I learned that too much cheek and under-eye filler can really puff out your face and actually make you look older.
I decided to have most of my cheek filler dissolved and removed all of my under-eye filler. The difference was incredible—I looked so much younger and better without it. I can’t believe I was so blind to it and just kept adding more.
Filler is actually designed for older individuals to replace volume loss, so it doesn’t have the intended effect on younger people who still have their natural facial volume.
It’s important to consider how your face may change over time before getting fillers, especially if you’re young. Early treatments can increase the risk of migration and an unnatural look.
Like Kylie Jenner? The recent candid photos I’ve seen of her make her look older, but I don’t know much about cosmetic procedures.
Contrary to popular belief, Botox doesn’t cause aging. It simply relaxes muscles and prevents wrinkles. It’s even used for medical conditions like lockjaw and eye twitching. It’s frustrating when people incorrectly compare Botox to silicone, which is a completely different substance.
I’ve had great results with lip filler and Botox. I look younger and more refreshed. The secret is to use these treatments in moderation. Too much filler can be obvious.
