How to cope with aging? I'm in my late 20s and I notice that I look worse in the mirror when I'm without makeup despite 4y hrt. My tear troughs and nasolabial folds became more prominent. I thought HRT will make me look younger but it doesn't work. I just look ghoulish sometimes. Pic unrelated.
>>43769055Do you take prog?
>>43769076I thought it's not necessary, can it really help?
>>43769055I consider face lift and microneedling, idk is it effective or just cope tho
>>43769055There are stages in a woman's life. Next is mother then crone
>>43769100I don't want to be old, I guess I'll just kms
>>43769055Idk i just want to find another old tranny and age together.t. transbian
>>43769055yeah...
>>43769055HRT might slow visible aging but time comes for us all. Growing old sure beats the alternative.t. 41>>43769084Progesterone *might* improve skin quality and the appearance of wrinkles (studied topically) but the evidence is thin.>>43769159I always feel like I have to be the oldest person on here.
>>43769204how long on hrt though
I still look fairly young but my nasolabial folds piss me off so fucking much god why does this shit have to exist how do I avoid looking like all the old women I work with
>>43769204are you transbian? are you single?
>>43769222facial fat grafts
>>43769222>>43769055nasolabial folds can be fixed by fixing the lower jaw.
>>43769055head transplant surgery.
>>43769055idk but no age has ever felt as bad as 28 and despite not having fine lines or anything yet I definitely look uglier than I did at 22 or whatever (which feels like yesterday) and I can't even pinpoint why
>>43769312same except i'm 29 in like a week lol
>>43769312same, I'm 28 too and it sucks
>>43769312>>43769316are you skinny at least?
>>43769055Im in my 30's and these are what Ive done>Facelift (ffs)>Full face HIFU>Cheek bone filler>Lip filler>Salicylic acid, hyaluronic acid, retinol daily since I was 25>Sleep >Stay out of the sun at all costs
>>43769055>>43769312>>43769335Idk I look much better at 28 than at 18>nasolabial foldsmany have them even at 14, it's underdeveloped jaw/maxilla issue
>>43769358how much did all these cost?
>>43769344yeah i've always had somewhat disordered eating. i wish i could gain fat.
>>43769402Can't really give you a full amount because some are one offs and some are ongoing costs. You have google/ai, do some research.
>>43769055iktfdid you have a preventative skincare routine? like sunscreen and collagen boosting (retinoids etc) topicals?anyways idk you can lean into it or like, try needling/laser/phenol peels, get mini facelift later on, etc
>anonymous discovers aging and realizes the older people that are constantly dunked on are in fact just as human as anonymous>panic
>>43769055I just stopped giving a shit after 25, everyone and everything gonna be fucked and dead, I have more serious problems than aging atp.
>>43769436Exactly, people are so ageist especially about women. Like this complete and utter arsehole: >>43769222Most older women, at least cis ones are still beautiful in my opinion. Their features get stronger and more refined, they find their sense of style, etc.My mum is in her 50s, and she is still pretty, same with my aunts, etc. I have met some drop-dead gorgeous women in their 70s who I would love to look like!Women are more than just their fertility and youth. We are actually one of the very few mammal species that have a menopause. We were clearly made for more than one purpose, including passing knowledge down.
>>43769213About 5.5 years. Injections for the last several months--mostly sublingual monotherapy before that.>>43769223Yes and yes
>>43769974do you still try to find a relationship and how is it going?
>>43770024I'm not super invested in it honestly. I have good friends and it turns out that's what I really needed. I have dated a bit but I also get bottom dysphoria so I may need SRS to really participate in a sexual relationship :-/Dating would be nice but it feels kinda optional.
