You know when it’s bad. You have absolutely no idea when it’s good. I have had people sh!t talk procedures I have gotten directly to my face because they had no inking I had done it.
Or they knew that what you’d done and wanted plausible deniability to talk sh!t about the result.

C’mon. You can’t unwrinkle your face. It is gravity and fat loss. Unless you can figure out a way to reverse those (and you won’t) you can’t fix NL folds that come with aging.
The problem with filler, as OP is aware and points out, is it doesn’t completely dissolve and can migrate. Even the slight migration can make face look very off. So the filler may look good to you the first handful of times, so you keep going back again to keep it up. Fast forward several years of doing it, you will look like the crazy celebrities clinging to youth
You can dissolve the standard types of filler pretty easily.

Did it look natural? Did you look like a bad case of celebrity plastic surgery?
Did smiling feel weird after having filler?
How long did it last?
How much did it cost?
As it wears off, do you feel like your lines are worse and feel even more “deflated?”
Celebrities are going to the best plastic surgeons available, and spending way more than $2k when they get work on their face done. If you think their work looks bad, draw your own conclusions about what yours will look like.
Exactly this

Sunk cost fallacy + cultural taboos against telling someone they have ruined their face + feedback loop from doctor trying to sell them their next "treatment."

I think it probably looks fine at first the first time. I’ve read it both ways, that filler dissolves fully and that it doesn’t ever fully break down, it just migrates, which is what creates some of the odd phenomenon. I used to think it could be done to look naturally. I do not think that anymore. There are way too many faces even on young people that begin to look gross and distorted. One mom at my kid’s school went for it and while I think it was meant to be modest, she does not look herself and she looks awful.

I just paid 2,000 last week for nasal folds plus eye/forehead filler. It’s the second time I’ve done the filler—rejuvaderm?—and it looks very natural and seemed to last quite awhile (more like 2 years). I especially like that they remove those droopy lines around my mouth corners.

Got my first injection ever at age 48 - I was amazed at the impact of the nasolabial fold fillers - took years off my age; looked natural, as if I had slept really well and was refreshed. I wished I would have done it sooner. I got botox and fillers and they lasted about 1 year; no drooping that I noticed- maybe a professional would say otherwise. Was worth every penny.
