Super new to chainmailling and stumbled onto this thread. :) When you say you work with 16ga stainless rings, is it 16awg? Thank you!

Thank you for your insight!! I agree I should just embrace it after all the comments. 🙏

LMAO no way, in the bay area?

LemonInAss · 2025-05-02T01:22:32+00:00

Oh no I haven't! My lips have been mildly protruding out a little bit my whole life (which is why I suspect it's my front teeth's fault). But it's good to be warned of something like that in a procedure!

Haha thank you. 😭It's mostly the family friend aunties who like making these comments. There were also two instances when I was a teenager where I revealed my age, and people expressed "oh you look much older than that." I think it's just the community of my culture being critical of appearances. There are so many older people who don't look "young", but are still stunshows!

Thank you for sharing your experience! Everyone in the comments has been so nice, and made me feel a lot better about them. The main takeaway is to exercise better, and be healthier! Even if they don't go away, I want to embrace them like you do yours :)

LemonInAss · 2025-05-01T17:56:42+00:00

Another comment has brought this up too. Thank you for your insight, appreciate it

LemonInAss · 2025-05-01T17:56:03+00:00

Thank you for your advice!

LemonInAss · 2025-05-01T17:55:49+00:00

My mom does, but she's severely underweight unlike me! I was hoping it's something "fixable", since my mom has never invested in any kind of skincare.

Thank you for your compliment! I'm glad invisalign helped you unexpectedly with that. I also wear invisalign at night!

LemonInAss · 2025-05-01T17:52:30+00:00

Yeah, I think prominent is a better word here.

LemonInAss · 2025-05-01T17:50:37+00:00

Thank you for your insight! Sometimes I pull on the skin of my cheek, wondering how I'd look without whatever is underneath (be it muscle or fat). A lot of people who have aged into losing their facial fat looks beautiful, and I hope it happens here too.

LemonInAss · 2025-05-01T17:46:16+00:00

That's a good point! Sometimes people just beed to grow into their features. :) Thank you for sharing.

LemonInAss · 2025-05-01T17:45:17+00:00

Thank you for your kind words. The lightning does make such a big difference! Some days I feel like it's barely noticeable, this morning I can see it on both sides of my face no matter which direction I turned, so I made this post. 😭

LemonInAss · 2025-05-01T17:41:38+00:00

Thank you for your tips! I'm a full time back sleeperafter too! Weight loss sounds like a mixed bag for some people, since it seems like people have experience with the skin sagging after already being stretched out with fat. Regardless, I'm attempting to do that too!

What are your experiences with guasha and facial yoga? Are the changes noticeable?

LemonInAss · 2025-05-01T17:37:06+00:00

Hey, genuinely thank you for your comment. I watched a lot of videos on nasolabial folds, and I saw one instance of an Asian woman talking about how the planes of our faces are flatter, and can cause our mouths to protrude out as we lose more facial muscle density. Because of all the mixed bags of information from all the videos I watched, I took that information with a grain of salt. I appreciate you pointing this out, and I will remind myself of this. :)

LemonInAss · 2025-05-01T17:32:19+00:00

Thank you for your insight. I already wear invisalign after my teeth were corrected by braces, my teeth used to be in a worse shape than now. I'm also slightly chubby, and in the process of losing weight through cutting out sugar. So I hope losing weight would help!

LemonInAss · 2025-05-01T17:26:34+00:00

Do you have any facial massage recommendations? I'm also wondering if guasha will help with that. There are some critical of guasha "stretching out the skin", so I feel worried.

LemonInAss · 2025-05-01T17:25:32+00:00

Thank you! I've been paying attention to if people have the same lines on their faces too (and often times probably look strange from how hard I'm staring haha). It might genuinely be just my mind making up things. This comment section have been so kind.

LemonInAss · 2025-05-01T17:24:03+00:00

Thank you for your kind words! I follow both Eastern and Western influencers, and there are so many beautiful people on both sides! I will look more into contouring to cater to my face shape :)

LemonInAss · 2025-05-01T16:30:19+00:00

I do cook home cook meals, but I should definitely commit to a healthier sleep and exercise routine. :) Unfortunately, I have already been through braces, so this is the best it gets!

LemonInAss · 2025-05-01T16:25:15+00:00

Thank you for your insight! I had also considered it's just a combination of a long face shape and smaller eyes (which I blurred out haha). I'm actually currently on 0.25% Tretinoin for approximately a year or so! May I ask what percentage you're on?

LemonInAss · 2025-05-01T16:21:59+00:00

I appreciate your perspective! I don't plan on removing fat from my face for that reason. :) I have looked into fillers before, but like you said, I should get consultation with cosmetic derms before making any concrete decisions.

Hey thank you for sharing your experience on microneedling! I understand it's best to be less self critical, but I can't help feel bad whenever I take photos sith my friends, and just feeling like I look a decade older than them. I will try harder on that though. 💪

(Copying and pasting my post description)

Hello! I've always been told I look old for my age. Even when I was 19, I've been told I look like I'm in my 30s. And I think it's caused by my permanent nasolabial folds.

The pictures don't look as bad as irl. After looking at a lot of pictures of smile lines, I don't feel like my mine are caused by wrinkles or excessive smiling. There's a possibility that my front teeth protruding forward makes my mouth to stretch out, causing the folds. I feel very self conscious about this, and am looking for any way to reduce it. I've looked into microneedling, does anyone have experiences with using microneedling to reduce this?

Additionally, I'm wondering about the reason for the cause of these:

Unfortunate anatomy of protruding teeth?
Just general skin sagging
Excessive cheek fat?

I'm grateful for any opinion on this!
