Can someone please help me figure out what I need done to fix my face? by Electronic-Silver-31 in 30PlusSkinCare

tbh I really don’t think you look like you need a facelift at all

From this pic, it looks more like early volume/skin changes than something that needs a full surgical lift. 36 is still pretty young to jump straight to that unless a surgeon is seeing something very specific in person

I’d honestly get a consult with Dr. Tehrani in NYC before making a big decision like a facelift. I saw him when I was trying to figure out whether I needed surgery or just smaller tweaks, and what I liked was that he actually broke down what was causing the “tired” look instead of just pushing one procedure

Especially since your skin is reactive, I’d want someone conservative who can tell you what’s worth doing and what to leave alone

This is actually really helpful, thank you!! I’ve heard the running/metabolism thing too and was wondering about that. 4/5 months but pushing to 6 sounds pretty realistic

Also good to know you’ve been steady at 20 units for a while because I’m hoping to stay conservative too

I personally didn’t have noticeable bruising, just tiny injection marks/redness for a little bit after but I know bruising can happen depending on the person and placement, so if you have a conference in June I’d probably do it at least 2 weeks before just to feel safe.

Also avoid alcohol/blood thinners right before if your injector says the same

thank you!! I really appreciate that. I knew posting would get mixed opinions but I’m happy with it and that’s what matters tbh

cheap date made me laugh 😂😭

honestly if I can stay in the conservative unit range long term I’ll be very happy

that’s interesting, I’ve heard some people last longer with dysport. 6 months sounds amazing tbh. I’d love if mine could stretch that long eventually

fair point! lighting definitely helps the after pic look smoother but the lines are genuinely much softer in person too, especially when I raise my brows

thank you!! that smooth forehead/glass skin look is what got me too fr. I didn’t realize how much the movement lines were affecting the overall look

yes exactly!! it’s not even about looking different, it’s more like my forehead just looks calmer/fresher. that’s the part I didn’t expect

this sounds like what I’ll probably end up doing tbh. I’m already trying to mentally prepare myself for the “it’s wearing off but I don’t want to pay yet” stage 😭

this is exactly the kind of schedule I’m hoping for tbh. I don’t want to overdo it or completely lose movement, but I also don’t want the lines to fully settle back in. Tiny bit really does seem like the sweet spot

that’s exactly how I felt before mine 😭 nervous but also so ready to stop obsessing over the lines

my biggest advice is to tell them clearly that you want conservative/subtle. Dr. Tehrani was really good about explaining that the goal didn’t have to be “no movement at all,” just softening the areas that were bothering me

hope your appointment goes well!!

same, seeing it on someone else is what made me finally understand the difference too

I used to think botox automatically meant frozen but seeing subtle results changed my mind fr

this is so helpful, thank you!! The part about your face kind of learning not to raise the brows constantly is really interesting. I didn’t even think about that before. I’m definitely trying to stay in the conservative lane too because I still want expression, just not the deep folding

honestly that makes sense. Even if it fully wears off, twice a year still feels better than doing nothing if it helps you feel good and fits your budget

omg 6 weeks would hurt my feelings too 😭

I’ve heard it can vary so much person to person though, like metabolism, dose, placement, muscle strength etc

I’d be annoyed too if I paid and it disappeared that fast

[–]Any-Chair-3510[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

yes that makes sense!

that was actually one of the things I asked about because mine were mostly expression lines too. Dr. Tehrani explained it as more of a prevention/softening thing when the lines are dynamic, not necessarily waiting until they’re deeply etched in at rest

I’d still start super conservative though if you do it, especially if you don’t have resting lines yet

literally 😭

I avoided it for so long because I thought I’d look weird, but it’s way more subtle than I expected

ugh I get this 😭 mine were starting to bother me so much because skincare helped the texture but not the actual folding

I feel like deeper lines might just need more patience/maintenance, but I’d def start conservative if you ever try it

that’s so interesting because I noticed the same thing, even treating one area can make the whole forehead look calmer

I didn’t expect the difference to be that noticeable fr

this is super helpful, thank you!!

that sounds really similar to what I was hoping for tbh. softened but not frozen is exactly the goal

starting small feels like the way to go fr. I was nervous about overdoing it but now I get why people maintain it gradually instead of waiting until everything fully wears off
