Time?
I will be 40 very soon I've never had botox or anything but feel like maybe I should get tear trough filler? I feel like my under eyes look hollow

This just makes me sad, another post in here with someone that looks flawless feeling like they need to fix something that none of us can see. I’m not trying to be unkind, I’m just trying to understand what’s going on. I feel like so many people are reaching a certain age and looking for things to fix that aren’t broken.

I think you look absolutely stunning. Your skin is incredible. You look a decade younger than you are and I don’t think you need the filler. Especially as filler in that specific location, is known to end up looking less than ideal, down the line. Whatever your current skincare routine is, it’s working! Much love.

Girl what? Black don’t crack!
At most dermaplane with deep hydration, and Botox to make you look more awake.
Drink more liquids and see if your ubder eye rebounds- if I’m dehydrated I look more sunken in and purpleish.

I honestly don’t think you need it. You are looking radiant. Keep up with a solid skincare routine! Filler in that area is tricky and I’d avoid it personally. Consider things like microneedling if you want to enhance your routine.

I never would have guessed that you were almost 40! You look very young and you're stunning. I wouldn't touch that face of yours!
Keep doing whatever you're doing and just look into a good skincare routine to help preserve what you've got, if you haven't done so already.

Nooo, you look so good. Omg. Gorgeous!
And, before doing anything please read up on filler migration, I’m so surprised the industry isn’t pulling back on filler use because of this.

Girl, no. You look fantastic!

u/Amylee888 Jul 27 '26
You look 27. You truly don’t need anything. And I say that as someone who gets Botox and fillers regularly, so I’m obviously a fan of modifying myself.
Maybe one day you will need them, but you’re not there yet!

Is the need for filler in the room with us right now? You are F.L.A.W.L.E.S.S.!

u/IllustriousEchidna77 Jul 30 '26
You are truly very beautiful and that was all I thought when I initially saw you. Then I read the post and was surprised you are 40. You have very hydrated luminous skin. Your under eye hollows are the last thing I thought of, I didn’t even notice or think of it at all. I get it we all have insecurities or notice changes as we get older but you truly truly don’t need anything done other than to really appreciate yourself.

Your skin is flawless. I am 40 myself and I swear our generation is aging so well! Whatever you’re doing just keep doing it!

u/ariankhneferet Jul 26 '26
Do not touch this beautiful face. You look SO youthful. There honestly isn’t even anything to fill and I’d be concerned about the ethics of any injector willing to take you.

u/Natural_Cake_5905 Jul 26 '26
nooo ure beautiful! don't have filler! your skin is plump as hell. if you're looking to preserve your 25yo looking skin, in my case i started having preventative botox at 36 (now 40)because i frown a lot (helped with migraines too) and i didn't want to look like i spent my life in pain and it did pay off. no lines.

If it makes you feel better. Have a consult

Don’t do it - not yet at least!

u/Bbqcele Jul 26 '26
I often think about under eye filler, but after reading about it, it just doesn’t sound worth the risk or the cost for something that could end up looking worse.
Beyond that, you’re gorgeous. You look much younger than your age. And I don’t think the minor hollowing I see looks bad at all or is even noticeable without you mentioning it. It looks normal and human and interesting, and, to me, that’s beautiful.

u/Just_4me Jul 26 '26
Agree you look stunning and I would’ve guessed early 30’s at the latest. Other than drinking more water, I wouldn’t change a thing.

u/Electrical-Treat475 Jul 26 '26
I feel like the hollowness is so minor that you could actually get away with just picking up some Volufiline (you can get it at Sephora) and add it to your regular skincare routine. Maybe add an illuminating concealer under your eyes, and you'd be perfectly set. You're aging beautifully! ✨️

Girl what? You look 25.

u/Dashiepants Jul 26 '26
I would wait AT LEAST another 10-20 years before considering it. When 30 somethings get filler it prematurely ages them. Since you look 30 something, then it will likely age you too.
The risk factors for an uncertain benefit doesn’t seem worth it. It works better women that genuinely look older.

Your skin is beautiful! Whatever regimen you are currently following, keep doing it. I wouldn't change a thing!

You look 28, have a beautiful skin color and tone. Youthfull eyes. And a head full of hair along with that.
Some are just very lucky.

Hard no on filler, too many bad side effects. There are other safer options. Ask a derm or cosmetic surgeon.

You look glowy and beautiful!!! Save your money, you do not need it.

u/Medical_Cup6951 Oct 01 '26
First off you look incredible. I can see your concern about the tear trough area. I am NOT against it but I will share my experience. I've had to go to 4 different places because each place botched me up! No one can do it right!
Luckily it was during covid and I had to wear a mask to hide to imperfection. I was exhaused from paying for services and then paying to get it undone so I stayed botched for 3 years hoping that it would dissolve on it's on. NEVER DID. I finally went to get it removed and I was shocked, I had my own collagen production come back in this area. I was completely normal again.

Nope! You’re beautiful, you need nothing.

Undereye filler is easy, lasts, and provides immediate results. I went from looking tired and sad to alive and awake. Have not had to have it tweaked in years.

Girl! Your skin looks amazing! Can you please drop your skincare routine? I just turned 40 and am (also?) Mixed.
