Seeking advice on facial fillers

I’m starting to develop “AIDS face.” (Don’t have aids, just sunken cheeks) I’m mid 50s and fairly attractive still, and I’d like to fill my under eye area and cheeks with filler. Anyone have any experience with that procedure? We’re you happy with the results?

Under the eyes is a very tricky area to fill. The people I've seen in person who've had that done have visible bumps under their eyes. It's quite lumpy and noticeable.

There’s already been a thread on this OP. Could you not have used the search feature before you posted this? Is that not too much to ask?

The only other guy I've ever heard speak of fillers was the vainest person I've ever met.

Are you vain too, OP?

Are you thin also? A little extra weight will do wonders to your face.

When I’m at my goal weight my face isn’t as attractive as when I’m 20lbs over. Decisions, decisions...

The "before" in OP's photo looks better than the "after".

It might help if "after" wasn't smelling cookies from 3 blocks away, but the puffy, shiny forehead and preternaturally unlined face is freakish and unattractive regardless of his expression.

I’ve always loved frown lines and crows feet on a man over 40. Am I a freak?

I see no difference between the two.

Don’t do it. I know 2 men who got it done. One is stinking rich and went to some top Bev Hills doc. The other is from Phoenix and had it done there. Both of them got the same result - swollen, puffy under the eyes, the eyes look smaller, they look almost feminine now. Both look “done” too so that comes with its own price I think because as much as people can be ageist, people also judge people who look “done”.

Go for surgery instead. It does work -- but only lasts for a year or two., alas. I would highly rec it if we got ten years out of it for that price.

Connie Stevens was right too: a little weight in the fact helps. I have no wrinkles because of the extra weight.

Guy looks just fine in the 'before' picture, if you ask me. I like some crows feet and laugh lines on a person....

The only thing I would do for your eyes is some Botox and an upper-eyelid lift if you need it. An eyelid lift looks great on men without giving them a feminine appearance the way a full facelift does.

R8, he's frowning in Pic One, smiling in Pic Two. See? Fillers made him HAPPY!

by Anonymousreply 13October 15, 2019 12:06 AM

The after pic looks good, they just smoothed out the crows feet/outer edge. They didn't try to give him a perfectly plump result.

I had belotero for undereyes done a few months ago and had no crazy side effects. I just looked a little less tired. The doc also applied it in in stages so I could see. My doctor was honest and said some hyperpigmentation exaggerates circles so I'm using lightener and eyecream for that. I'm getting a refill next year. My blunt family and friends have no idea and wouldn't hesitate to tell me to stop.

It is possible shitty undereye fillers are due to people demanding too much and not addressing things like hyper pigmentation, allergies, etc. that make things worse.

OP, is there really any point at your age?

Restalyne can work wonders for hollowness. Just make sure you have an excellent, conservative dermy.

Oh dear. Is it too much to ask of trolls that they consult a grammarian before posting?

Can you undo fillers if they don’t turn out the way you want. Anyone I know who had them never lost the puffy look but I’m not sure if it’s because it’s not fully reversible or if they just keep doing it and don’t know it looks bad. You have to be so, so conservative on a man’s face because a man’s face naturally is more angular and chiseled than a woman’s so when you start filling it you quickly go into drag queen/feminine territory.

Yes some fillers are reversible and it depends on what is being done

I like the eyelid lift idea - but fear I’ll look like Nancy Pelosi. My eyelids droop more every year.

Why does some plastic surgery feminize men? I've noticed with women as they age their features becomes more masculine and plastic surgery can soften their looks. I would like to get rid of my wrinkles, but after seeing the before and after I'm not sure it is worth the money.

by Anonymousreply 27October 15, 2019 4:19 AM

The features that signify femininity and fertility in women are full lips, smooth skin, softness and curviness, a pad of fat under the skin or “baby fat”. There’s a reason straight men are not as taken by the beauty of square jawed models as women and gays are. So when men start messing with their faces they plump them, smooth them, inject the lips and end up with all the features we associate with femininity and it’s jarring. Men have a more pronounced brow than women too and face lifts seem to make this less obvious.

My mid 30s hairdresser is a tall, muscle queen who has gone overboard with the fillers and lip injections. He just looks plain weird. This big, strapping man turns around and it looks like a middle aged woman is peeking out from his face.

The guy in OP's photo looks better in the before photo. He looks like a normal man aging naturally. In the after photo he looks like yet another narcissistic, shallow queen.

Skinny always trumps "youthful".

The people thinking that a fat face is preferable to a skinny wrinkly one are dumb.
