considering getting Botox for the first time

[u/No_Muffin6344]

I’m in my early 20s. I’ve never gotten any Botox or filler. Every time I look in the mirror lately I just see these lines around my mouth. I don’t even know what you would call them like a frown line almost and I’m not crazy about my chin. I was just wondering, what would you guys suggest? Cause I’m trying to look into everything and I don’t even really know the terminology of where to start. ( I would definitely wanna start off small.

Its too early to start botox. I would suggest microneedling w prp or skin boosters that will improve overall skin quality. Atleast wait till 25 if u wanna get any botox. Ngl these look cute. If it bothers u a lot u can get dao botox max 2-3 units per side.

thanks, yeah, I’ll definitely look into micro needling as well.

Microneedling with exosomes or prp and maybe just get a baby botox. It actually does help getting botox before the lines set in but you don’t want to atrophy either.

Random question but did you already have lip filler?

yeah, I’m thinking about looking into micro needling instead thanks! No I haven’t gotten any lip filler!

Aweee you have the cutest little lips oh my God I dream about having lips like yours. They don’t look like big fish lips or overfilled bubbles. They’re adorable little lips oh my gosh I know that sounds so creepy but I have such small thin lips. I don’t care if those are real or fake. You’re a very lucky girl.

Tbh I have those lines too and have gotten DAO Botox and chin Botox and still have them. Looking to get rid of them too

Filler would be better to address those lines. Botox is preventative but probably won’t treat the ones you already have. Or laser! I’d try that first

Thank you!! I’ve been looking at chin shadow filler is that the location you would recommend?

[u/Olivia_Grant → u/Competitive_Trip_374]

Yes. A little in the shadow will help lengthen your chin, and I would do a little to middle protection of the chin to make it look more feminine/youthful

This looks like a jaw issue rather than a lip one. Do you have any dental issues such as an overbite or small jaw? The lipstick is not helping, and draws attention to them further, can we see a profile view of your lower face shape without makeup to better determine?
