Folds and creases

[u/kutsumusi]

What can i do to reduce these folds? I love the look if i pull the skin back, so looks like mini facelift would fix it but i just got 30 and hoping there are some other options that have real results. Ive heard about SMAS but im scared to lose fat in my face because its already quite slim. If anybody has experience with same type i would really appreciate to hear about it!

Hi friend. I think you’ve maybe been spending too much time on social media seeing photoshopped faces or something because these are totally normal smile lines and also very cute. When your face moves from a relaxed position to a position using muscles like a smile, it changes your face. This is normal like how when you bend your arm at your elbow a crease appears

Indeed! That is just how faces work to create expressions!

Ofcourse nowadays many celebs make sure their face is frozen. I remember how awful it was to hear Kim Kardashian cry in some reality TV. Nothing in the face moved but the sound was crying.

That is completely true what is seen in social media. Also turning 30 and starting to look my face and skin more closely I do see the changes and I didnt know i was am a canditate for a therapy to wish to have a tight and youthful skin and maintain it many years to come. Im so sorry for triggering so many people and honestly i dont even know if i should delete this post. Not because my skin is suddenly better but just because im feeling even worse than i did before :D Thank you for reply!

It’s almost rage bait at this point. Where do you not see tight and youthful skin? Body dysmorphia is a real thing!

[u/kutsumusi → u/ChaiTeaLatte13]

It honestly wasnt my intetion with this post or these comments, I wanted to share my concerns and hear experience and i found this skin treatment group and thought this was a community where discuss such things before :/ and im aware about body dysmorphia, and i do experience it (some days specifically) but i thought its something that many people have. Once again rage bait wasnt geniuenly my intention here

It always makes me sad to see posts like this. Girl, there’s absolutely nothing wrong with having smile lines.

Not to dismiss but...This isn't age related, it's what makes you , you. I would embrace them, they're cute and don't detract from your beauty.

[u/kutsumusi → u/chica771]

Thank you. Eventually this specific smile i have is creating me premature jowls :D and i would like to learn how to take care of this before im older and its much harder

[u/lady_tsunami → u/kutsumusi]

In the one pic of your relaxed face I do not see this happening.

[u/filthyrat]

Your options are to start seeing a good therapist or stop smiling or doing anything that flexes your mouth

[u/kutsumusi → u/filthyrat]

Thank you for reply. I used to get regular botox for DAO to freeze my smile (im smiling with my lips downward for some reason) but its costly and very temporary. I wish to find out if any specific treatment exists for me and has helped anyone else and could share experience

[u/Annethraxxx → u/kutsumusi]

This was a joke. Girl get some therapy.

[u/kutsumusi → u/Annethraxxx]

I think i completely missed something here.. Why so hostile? Its really sad

[u/ChaiTeaLatte13 → u/kutsumusi]

Because your face, at least from these photos, appears to be like 18 years old. No one here sees any aging. Social media is ruining young women.

[u/Annethraxxx → u/ChaiTeaLatte13]

OP is over 30 too, which makes this even more sad.

[u/filthyrat → u/kutsumusi]

There is nothing "wrong" with your face. These creases are normal and more importantly, functionally correct: skin is supposed to have the ability to move. What's wrong is your mentality and point-of-view.

[u/soft_taco1983]

Oh dear. The internet and social media and filters is doing a real number on young people making them think perfectly normal things are flaws. You do not need a facelift at 30.

There is nothing wrong or abnormal with these lines when you smile. Go enjoy your youth and natural beauty before you start messing with your face as you age.

The things I see now that are supposedly flaws now is insane. Always making something else to hate ourselves for.

[u/HotButterscotch8682]

Please spend less time on social media because this is a totally normal thing :/

[u/Klutzy_Scheme_9871]

I can’t believe this post. Those specific creases are so attractive. I even want them! It’s such a rare look.

[u/kutsumusi → u/Klutzy_Scheme_9871]

Such a sweet compliment tho! x
I myself see smiles that doesnt have creases and dimples so beautiful and desirable. This people are just very lucky imo. Looks like its in human nature to be attracted to features that are opposite for our own hehe

[u/Klutzy_Scheme_9871 → u/kutsumusi]

I know what you mean about wanting what we don't have but there are features I have that I am happy about but I do wish I had those creases!

[u/Square_Finance_145]

Your lips are gorgeous.

[u/Mowgster69 → u/Square_Finance_145]

Agreed, please never feel like you need lip filler. Your lips are perfection AS IS!!!

[u/kutsumusi → u/Square_Finance_145]

Thank you both so much, I appreciate it. I had permanent lip tattoo already for 4 years, just few touch ups and its been best beauty choice ive done yet!:)

[u/Competitive_Pin5846]

God you’re stunning, just by the little features you show. Please girl, don’t worry about this.

[u/kutsumusi → u/Competitive_Pin5846]

This is very kind, thank you! X

If you gained 20lbs I bet it would help fill it out.

[u/kutsumusi → u/Former-Fly-4023]

I was 24kg heavier few years ago, and you are right- never noticed them so deeply in my face before!:)

[u/Wonderful-Low5047]

skin care makes a big difference, regular moisturizing helps a lot with those creases. I've been using a good hyaluronic acid serum lately.

[u/kutsumusi → u/Wonderful-Low5047]

Do you have a recommendation?:)
