It's a wrinkles one

Feel like these under eye wrinkles honestly came out of nowhere :( I'm smiling in this picture but it's all I see if looking at my reflection. Is there anything that can fix or improve this? I've had forehead and crows feet Botox before but I don't see what can help these deep wrinkles.

Feel free to guess my age though I think I may cry with the answers Grin

Hi there, did you have anything specific in mind? Tear trough filler might be an option or mesotherapy may help such as lumie eyes. A quick temporary fix may be a cold compress under there each morning for 10-20 mins

Can't see enough of your face to guess your age.

But wrinkles happen to us all! They are normal.

Thank you! I will try the cold compress and look into the other suggestions. I'm worried about doing something that makes me look like a puffy faced overdone celeb, but would consider not too invasive things if it would really fix it.

I forgot to mention I did have 'jelly roll Botox' last time I had my forehead done, so about 4-5 months ago, but I don't think it did anything (if anything maybe that made it worse as I feel I've only noticed these in the last month!).

I am only 43, looked in my early 30s for years and then boom, this happened BlushGrin

I'm 44. I just checked and I have those wrinkles. All the time although exacerbated when smiling. Never noticed till I looked specifically now. I quite like them. I like looking my age. There's nothing embarrassing about it.

I have a few retinol eye creams on order and been using murad retinol eye masks in the hope of reversing this somewhat. I agree it happens to us all and ageing is definitely a privilege, I want to live to my 80a at least! Just not noticed this on friends of a similar age x
