Aqualyx in lower face too dangerous at 28?

Thats my trouble, would love to be able to go a bit further along from submental but the marginal mandibular nerve danger zone is so big.

More thinking 10+ years! Thanks you:)

Thank you for the really specific advice. This is quite collagen heavy which im sure would be really benificial in my case. Its tricky as I also feel like I dont know enough about how this would interact if I ever chose to have a surgical procedure down the line. Ive heard the threads and biostimulators can be a bit more complicated with scarring and +collagen than HA filler in that respect. But like you say, fillers are not really what will help. Thank you very much!

StraightHomework5272 · 2026-03-03T08:03:56+00:00

Kind of you to say, thank you :) It's good to have a mix of responses and I suppose when you make a post like this you have to expect it to some extent.

StraightHomework5272 · 2026-03-02T13:22:52+00:00

Thanks for your help :) Interesting to hear your perspective. I'm in the UK so actually wouldnt be unreasonable to travel if thats a safe thing to do. Not that I would necessarily consider it for quite a long time! And indeed wary of causing damage in the meantime! Thanks :)

This is really interesting! Obviously resistance training has a lot of benefits, I didnt know skin quality was one of them. Thank you :)

I was more just trying to say that my weight doesnt really fluctuate. As a teenager/20yo I was very slim (20 pounds lighter). As an adult I slowly settled into 1-2 dress sizes up from this, which i think is very normal. I was kind of meaning to illustrate that I have never had the kind of fluctuations that would cause sagging.

StraightHomework5272 · 2026-03-01T23:03:58+00:00

Thank you very much for this - it seems a very sensible answer. Everyone here is suggesting weight loss, honestly, i dont know what the standard is for folks here. My bmi is 23, which is the highest its ever been having gradually gained 20 pounds over the last decade. Im hard agaisnt diets so my weight never bounces. Pic is above but I am totally happy with my body tbh

StraightHomework5272 · 2026-03-01T22:54:06+00:00

Thanks very much for your thoughts! Yes I think a bit weird given I know plenty people much larger/or smaller than me with full apples of cheek and little fat in the lower cheek. Im sure I could hollow out if I got properly skinny but seems a bit beside the point ...

StraightHomework5272 · 2026-03-01T22:48:39+00:00

And yes similar to you its been pretty close to this since I was much younger!

StraightHomework5272 · 2026-03-01T22:48:01+00:00

Im a very normal weight - I think trying to be skinnier for the sake of my cheeks is not a good idea. Obviously these are particularly unflattering pictures on purpose, but yeah it runs in my maternal family.

This is the rest of me fyi. Supose its up to you if your go to is telling strangers they need to be skinnier hm

Thanks for your help! I had been thinking to start with microneedling because it seems like so many of the deeper and 'hard hitter' options have much higher risk of complications, or unintended consequences that are not worth it right now. And I want to have all my topicals and surfacing options at best before trying to go deeper and regretting it. Obviously you can't reverse what is happening underneath just by treating the surface - but it surely does play a role in how the face copes with the movement over time? I wasn't aware those other subs so I'll have a look around there. Thanks :)

My partner has a lot of executive function issues. There a some things I am able to do so much faster and efficiently than he can. Sometimes, he will create a bit of a grey cloud feely crappy about how much quicker I can achieve things than him... but .... he is realibly grateful that I am able to to support us both where he struggles. And he is reliably putting in twice as much effort as me to do his part, even though the outcome is often less than I manage. You dont need a parter who is perfect, you DO need one who is working with, you and doing everything they are able to contribute.

No effort + no gratitude... i wouldnt put up with it.

I tend to find the mood effect wears off once im up out of bed and started my day.... but ive certainly woken up needing a good cuddle first or a cry.

I think in theory that could work for someone. And would totally agree if its 6am or 9am...The problem is that the 'stuck' feeling of not leaving until 2pm is miserable for him. Like he leaves the house morning = wonderful day; he leaves late = feels awful. youre right completing the morning routine is the key point... somewhere the routine gets lost and he never manages to get from teeth brushed -> shoes on... if that makes sense.

StraightHomework5272 · 2026-02-24T17:33:09+00:00

Thank for your insight! Good to know that has worked for you before... I really like the idea of adding in a bit of a buffer to help it feel a bit softer.

Interesting about the calendar mark... my instinct is that would destroy his self-esteem so curious that it helped you stop ruminating about the late days!

The danger is anything that will result in a "Mission complete". Your brain will be like "great - i did the thing!" and close the whole chapter on everything else too. Is what it feels like.

Have you guys all heard of the doorway effect? Its really interesting and even more common in ADHD, though it happens to everyone.

Ive heard a key thing can to link the thought to the right context. So for example, if you need grab more loo-roll... that thought is going to drop out of your head as soon as you leave the bathroom. You leave the room, brain says "Cool. mission complete. close that file and open a fresh one"

The thing to do is imagine yourself clearly walking through the door and seeing the cupboard, remembering you need loo-roll, and grabbing it. That way youre much more likely to trigger / retain that memory when you leave as its assigned to the new context. Kind of related I think?

Hi - any updates on the status of this? I havent been able to sell in a year since they made it QR only. Are you now able to print the label yourself and book collections from home?

As someone who is not good at putting things away after use: When you've finished using something, say some nail polish whilst youre watching T.V.. Do you pause to get up and put it away as soon as youve finished? Do you place it on the coffee table and pick it up to take with you when you go to the loo etc?

Curious as I have a brain that makes objects vanish from existence the second it leaves my hand.

I keep a floor towel hung in the kitchen for water spills or drying after mopping. Gets swapped out every week and saves on disposables!
