  The way my heart dropped when I heard “surgical face lift” 😭😂

  I'm 25 and I already have those lines. I don't even smile often but I am a side sleeper.

  The most honest dermatologist I've ever seen.

  I did the Morpheus 8 because they said, "This will lift and tighten your neck!" And there was zero improvement over 6 treatments. It was STUPID expensive, too.

  I’m so glad my grandma gave me the advice when I was in my mid 20’s to always sleep on my back to prevent aging . I was a natural stomach sleeper but I made it my mission to change my habit. To “train” myself I bought a special pillow and placed a rolled up towel around my neck to stabilize , placed pillows all around the sides of my body so I couldn’t turn over and placed a pillow under my knees while I slept so I was basically forced to stay in place all night like a mummy while I slept 😂. It was kinda hard sometimes but I just kept it up bc I knew it would pay off and it DID. I’m now a “natural” back sleeper and have no wrinkles, sagging or puffiness over a decade later . My grandma also had almost barely any lines on her face into her 80’s. It’s really worth it to train yourself asap.

  I fixed mine by gaining 15 pounds. 🤭 They will come back in the summer with more outdoor activities and exercise.

  My laugh lines became very noticeable since I’ve lost weight which have made me look much older.

  Can you include real before and after photos of patients so we know what is realistic?

  I got rid of my pillow, and that has helped me to sleep just on my back. My neck and back also feel a lot better! Worth a try!

  I am 72 and marvel at the skin care advancements over the years! At 58 I had a facelift. It lasted about 12 years. I had another one, without anesthesia, &nbsp;just a year ago. &nbsp;Volume is absolutely important at my age. &nbsp;My skin looks amazing thanks to my gifted surgeon, esthetician, and cosmetic dermatologist. My maintenance budget includes regular sandblasting acid peel facials, botox and filler. &nbsp;I only started the filler at 71 and it looks natural because my surgeon and his nurse know what they are doing. &nbsp;I am religious about sunscreen and any product my esthetician recommends for my sensitive skin. <br>Fortunately, you have a meaningful social media platform to educate and your subscribers are very lucky to have found you. &nbsp;<br>I was 30 something when I discovered the importance of tanning with sunscreen😂. That is not a recommendation. &nbsp;Sunscreen, was an unknown commodity at 17! &nbsp;Zinc oxide on my nose while surfing was about it. &nbsp;Without sunscreen, skin damage is real and damage control is inevitable. I wear sunscreen always. XO

  This is so unrelated, but I went to a derm for the first time yesterday to address my rosacea. He was in the room for a grand total of.... 5 minutes. As soon as I turned down lasers (not covered by insurance), he gave me a basic cream prescription and left. <br><br>Didn&apos;t even stick around for my questions on if I&apos;m a candidate for tretinoin, skincare routine, cleanser recommendations, sunscreen. He just left. <br><br>So... really just came here to vent about how frustrating it was.
