Close proximity photos always make the subject look far larger. An example is a mole. If you take a photo of the mole it can look enormous yet it's actually tiny. My thoughts are in reality OP this line of filler probably doesn't look half as bad as you feel it appears. Having said that I hate the idea of injecting anything into my face & hope to grow old accepting my aging face. My inspiration is Judy Dench,still as beautiful today as she was in her youth & her face is completely natural.

Oh well if you’d bothered to read the thread you’d know it had f all to do with ageing. And guess what the best thing about filler and botox is that - you don’t have to do it so you really can do you and not judge others.

I doubt Judy Dench is completely natural either, if she is, she must be the strongest woman in the business with a will of iron to not give in to a bit of rejuvenation in that industry. I like her too.

It's Judi.

I doubt she's had any work done simply because her face shows her age. There is nothing wrong with that AT ALL and she's a wonderful actress who doesn't need to look younger in order to get work. She was beautiful in her younger years but when you're as good as she is at acting, you're offered parts anyway even at 90.

Judi comes across as a lovely person although we only know her through her public appearances, but her face bears no resemblance to when she was 30 or even 65 - she's 90 soon. You can't deny she's aged.

You do what suits you, but don't be judgy over women who choose otherwise.

I’ve never had eye bags. Eye bags are puffy swollen sacks under the eyes. I have never had this. I had a bleph to tighten the loose skin I had due to trauma to the skin.

Concealer isn’t a magic treatment. It doesn’t cover dark circles for thin skin.

Ah okay, thank you for explaining. I know what eye bags are because I have huge ones 😁
I hope you are able to get the result you are after! Flowers

BlueGrey2025 · 16/01/2025 15:37

I’m not suggesting you do this, wait for your follow up appointment but when I had fillers at the corners of my nose, it wasn’t exactly where I wanted it so I slightly pushed it into place, maybe it is something that you can discuss with the nurse before dissolving it

Sorry, I haven’t read the all the replies, but @burberrygodess I was wondering if there was no bump before why you can’t just apply concealer to lighten up the dark area? It looks like the blepharoplasty removed any under eye bags, what else can filler do now?

You’re right.

I have requested this to the clinic. They are saying I’m not allowed to have someone different in the clinic dissolve it and it has to be the same person - doubt it makes any difference?? I just want to make sure I actually get a refund.

I'm sorry but I don't know.
I can't see how someone else can't dissolve it.
Maybe there was something in the T&Cs you read and signed?
Is there a delay in seeing the person who did it?

I know that good practitioners always give a mobile number (theirs) and they are available 24/7 (within reason) after any procedure if you have problems because of course sometimes things can go badly wrong (if the filler is in a vein) and it is an emergency .

Oh give it a rest and busy yourself with something more productive

LikeWhoUsesTypewritersAnyway · 16/01/2025 14:34

The bitter, middle-aged woman comment was out of order, but I can't blame @burberrygodess for fighting back with barbed comments, after several posters said she looks like she is 60! Amongst other rude and insulting comments (She is in only her 30s, and doesn't look 60 FGS! Nowhere near that!)

And someone said it's because of the 'old face droop' in her face. What the fuck is old face droop? I am in my late 50s and don't have any 'droop' in my face! And the OP doesn't either. What's more, you can only see a bit of her face. So the 'U look so OLD' comments are bullshit.

I don't understand why younger women have fillers personally, although the OP has explained why she does, but it's no-one's business if younger women do have fillers! (Or any age woman!)

If I were you OP, I would report your original post and ask Mumsnet to delete this thread. It's gone pear-shaped, people have turned nasty, and you do NOT look fucking 60! I am sorry (some) people have been so rude to you. Flowers

I hope you get your filler issue sorted soon too. Smile

It's not good for you to keep replying to posters making nasty comments.

No one can see your face from those shots.

I've mentioned this several times but please do take a look at the website of Dr Tracy Mountford, who established the Cosmetic Skin Clinic in Harley St (and a couple of out of town places too.)

She was considered 'Filler Queen' and she's a former anaesthetist, so a highly qualified doctor before training in facial procedures. She works with a lot of 'slebs' and her own list is closed to new patients as she is so busy.

Look at the images under dermal fillers and you will see before and after photos of women who have had under eye filler. They do not look like yours.

There are also videos where women are 'being filled' and you can see the results immediately afterwards.

Yours is not right.
I'm sorry but it needs dissolving.

You’re right.

Yes. I am lying. Because I have so much to gain posting behind an anonymous account to anonymous people. And you can doubt what you want (you’re far too invested tbh) but I know my truths 😌.

And I just used burberrygoddess as it was the name of the perfume a friend bought me and it was in my eyesight when I was thinking of a name. But I think you were trying to make out I’m a chav and trying to act superior.

Funny thing is you would never post any part of your face. Which says it all.

Wow, aren't you a delight? BTW, there is no way you look younger than your age if you are early thirties. People are just being polite if they tell you that.

They definitely aren’t 😂 but sure I guess you’re there each time it’s said, you know the context it’s been said in and you know all the people that have said it. I do very much look younger than what I am. But I guess you’re right - the person who’s never met me and seen 1/6 of my face and has clearly been hurt by my Middle Aged women comment - but there you go again falling into the stereotype.

You haven’t even seen my full face 😂. And I’ve been told numerous times by people that I look younger than I am. And no they aren’t being polite.

Honestly this is why middle aged women have such a horrible bitter reputation towards any woman younger than them. Any opportunity to bring someone down they leap at it. Imagine being also double someone’s age and leaving a comment like that 😂 I could never

mistymorning12 · 16/01/2025 13:12

OP have you had it done before?

As an optometrist, I'm not keen on under eye filler as it seems to have a propensity to block meibomian gland outflow and cause a bit of dry eye.

I suspect though, it's not behaved as as a usual filler would because of the changes to the skins's elasticity and hyperpigmentation caused by the eczema you had.

user22446688 · 16/01/2025 13:04

On your side in that I have no issues with filler or your age or the fact you're unhappy. I think in your shoes I would be unhappy too. Which is why I've recommended someone who I've seen do a great job of sorting out something very similar.

This is an open forum, full of people who will be toxic at the smallest opportunity, but you've also had plenty of supportive comments and suggestions. Why are you wasting time and energy replying to the unpleasant posters?

Do you not see the problem with what you've said here? I hate to bring this up, but if you're in your early 30s, you're not that far off being, what many would consider, a dreaded 'middle aged' woman yourself. Do you think you will automatically deserve that reputation?

Wow. I was on your side, OP, until that, which is really vile and says at least as much about you as the poster you're responding to.

Despite the fact that you seem pretty unpleasant yourself, I'm going to recommend Daniel Ezra. I've never been, but he's an oculoplastic surgeon who did a brilliant job fixing botched tear trough filler for a friend of mine.

Oh no you’re not on my side anymore?! Damn.

If only I knew what my side actually was. I think the filler looks shit. Yes my eye area doesn’t look great, I’ve been aware of that since a young age and got bullied for it.

I was asking whether I was right and if I’m being impatient and need to give it more time. So I guess that’s my side.

You also sounds pretty unpleasant yourself.
