I’m in my 30s. Now I feel like I have to keep getting Botox because I look terrible without it

Are you in your 30s or 40s?

when you scrunch doesn't matter. it's when you are relaxed that matters. how etched the wrinkles are

Accept your age and give up Botox.

I am guessing the photo was forgiving, and that in reality you grew accustomed to your unlined face. I really don’t think you aged five years in 5 months - even if there were some kind of wonky side effect, that would be extreme. You are hyper-focused on whatever lines you see as the Botox wears off.

Well sounds like the only thing to do is inject more poison into those wrinkles.

You ARE older, OP.
Some months are crueler than others. If you got it 6 months ago, and now it’s worn off, and you’re comparing now to how you looked in November.... then yes you will look older

it's probably just photo lighting.

I just got xeomin today

Pictures aren't always "objective" either. What's the issue?

Yeah, OP... if you mean you looked older right when you got it, it could be something like they did too much in the center of your forehead, which could have caused droopy lids or something.

If you look older now AFTER it wore off, then you probably just got used to how you looked with it and are hyperaware of how old you look now. Or that hyperawareness might have been combined with the fact that your skin aged in other ways over the past 3-6 months-- skin texture, you got a new age spot, jowling a big.

What specifically looks older?

OP here. I'm being objective. I'm comparing myself to pictures and there's a HUGE difference in the span of a few months.

You just forgot how old you look lol

After using botox for the first time I've noticed I look older. I got it on my forehead. Once the botox wore off in a few months I looked older than before getting this. Anyone else have this happen? Can this be reversed?
