Is 29 too young to start with Botox and filler

[ThePerkyCoralPoet]

As above. Please provide opinions

I wouldn't do filler but if you've got wrinkles then Botox can be really effective when done subtlety and by a highly trained therapist.

I think by that age you might need it.....

I would be more inclined to sort out ‘my disdain for other people and constant fury’ rather than getting Botox..

I really don’t think women would be injecting their faces with botox if it wasn’t for mens obvious preference for much younger women.

Botox and filler has never, ever, looked good. On anyone. Ever. It’s obvious and ugly.

Loads of nightmare stories about filler. I'd leave your face alone for as long as possible. Maybe do face yoga instead. No idea if it works but it probably feels nice at least.

This is actually great advice

Far too young. You will regret it in years to come.

My understanding if you start Botox the muscles in your face become underused and start wasting away / decreasing which then leaves your face without structural substance and then needs filler to fill the gaps and thus the cycle begins, it's not something I'd want to start at any age.

Personally, I'm quite looking forward to having a 'wisened crone' face, think of how much more interesting they are to look at, all those lines and history. I think getting old is an honour, plenty of people don't make it and it should be embraced.

Stupid idea at any age.

You'll end up with wrinkly eyes and a smooth forehead, don't do it. 29 is your prime , don't get kidded into thinking you need work doing.

This x100!

Have you established good habits in all these other areas of your life?

If not, focus on that first.

This is such good advice. Money you put in your pension in your 20s really builds up due to compound interest.

If you're over 40-45 it can sometimes make you look 35-40. But if you're under 35 it also makes you look 35.

I would personally stay away from fillers regardless of your age.

Botox depends on your face rather than age, but 29 seems very young. I'd wait until til late 30s / early 40s personally.

In the meantime, I'd really focus on skincare and eating habits. Vitamin c, retinol, spf 50. Lots of water, good sleep & staying active.

You will age much more quickly with it than without.

Yes.

Of course it is.

give up smoking, vaping and alcohol. Eat a proper balanced diet. Get plenty of good quality sleep. Wear spf. Have a good skincare routine that includes double cleansing, glycolic toner and a good moisturiser. Get your brows threaded. Plenty of exercise.

All the above will enhance your natural beauty without the need for injecting things.

Forgot to add one of the most important - drink water. Lots of it. There’s a reason we put cut flowers in a vase of water and not just left in a dry pot.

I bet you are beautiful right now and you don’t even know it. You know the way you look back at pics 5/10yrs ago and think ‘I wasn’t as unattractive as I felt I was’ - that effect happens throughout your life. Honestly spend the money on something fun and joyful. You are more than what you look like. How many 28yr old men are asking this? Don’t buy into the pressure to look perfect - you are perfect as you are.

You’ve nailed it. 👏

OP, I think there are a lot of people on this thread posting without knowledge (or simply posting unwelcome opinions with no facts as backup) so take this with a pinch of salt.

Botox does not rot your muscle away from your face leaving you forever frozen. Botox is not new and there is minimal danger or risk from it. Done well, it does look good, isn't obvious and also prevents you from further wrinkles. You are likely too young to get any benefit from this.

Filler is a risk and can look awful when done badly or overdone. Avoid it to be safe. You don't need it.

I started with Botox at 30. I’m 40 now and have virtually no resting lines even when my Botox wears off.

I wouldn’t do filler though. It think it looks hard and mask like.gets worse over time as well

I have no lines sans Botox and I am 53. Just for balance.
