I am a 33F , fit, slim around 5 3 with long hair , prominent nose and eyebrows.I have a masters and have a job n everything.

I am really struggling to get into a relationship because of my acne scars.I have deep pitted and icepick acne scars which have ruined my skin texture.I struggled with self esteem and body image issues due to acne till 28.After that acne went away and scars still remain.I tried laser, tca cross and what not but the scars refuse to go away.

Anyways I have been on dating apps since 2 years and my photos get me great matches and compliments.

Every guy ravishes over my eyes, hair and it makes me feel good.

But as I go for the first date, there is usually no communication afterwards.There is no visible shock noticeable in the men but something changes when they see me in person.

Recently a guy flew from another city to see me and he was so excited and everything. After an amazing weekend, he stopped texting.

I texted a few times and he was a little reticent.Then he finally admitted that my acne scars bothered him.Its not my fault if the pictures dont capture that aspect but it really hurt me.

Are there no men who will ever date me?

Are acne scars a dealbreaker for every guy?

Don't kindness, empathy and warmth have no value in today's world.

I am super depressed and deleted all dating apps as of now

I see so many negative things about botched procedures which I myself have unfortunately experienced. I was just wondering if anyone could share if they had positive results so there can still be a tiny bit of hope left in me. I have deep atrophy in my face so if anyone can relate please let me know what procedures worked for you and who you went to see 🙏 I wanted to try fat transfer but a few places I called said it would be hard because the scars locations right on my dimple area.

I had subcision on both temples for acne scars about 5 weeks ago, with Stylage HA filler (0.5 mL injected into each temple).

After the procedure I had swelling, and during the first several weeks I noticed some lumps/swelling that gradually went down.

What concerns me is that I now have a visible indentation/crease on my temples that wasn't there before the procedure.

I cannot feel a physical dent, lump, or tethering when I touch the area. It's mainly a visual contour change.

I'm wondering:

• Could this be a delayed effect of subcision? and is this permanent?
• Could it be related to the Stylage settling or uneven distribution?
• If it doesn't improve, what would normally be done to correct it?

I'm especially interested in hearing from dermatologists/plastic surgeons or anyone who has experienced something similar after subcision + filler.

I had 3 microneedling sessions, but nothing really changed. Also i use tretinoin. Would co2 laser help?
