Hi all,
I´ve been quiet too as I probably haven´t thought about my face THAT much lately (quite a lot anyway).
Tori now that you are going to have a baby, does she/he keep you awake at night? That might also have some affect on your face and make you look more tired. I know I look much worse if I haven´t slept enough. Late happy birthday wishes!
I went to a doctor last week (not about this) and she noticed something about my face when I smiled. So I´m not fully recovered yet. Told her what had happened and she reminded me about facial exercises. I´ve been really lazy, should start exercising my temples at least.. perhaps I should get some bubblegum too. :)
Been thinking a lot about accepting my age.. or actually I think I accept my age very well, just don´t want to accept the changes in my face. Now that I´m 37, I keep noticing those small lines and "wrinkles". Whenever I see a new line, my first thought is to get it filled right away. I´d like to get rid of that thought. I can´t go on filling and filling and filling.. it´s impossible to keep up with time isn´t it...
Way to go Melty, good news that you´re slowly healing!
Hi, I have to add that my doctor also said that this "unwanted effect" would resolve in 2 weeks. As if. 3 months really seemed to be a turning point for me.
But I so so so feel for you, your smile looks exactly the same as mine a bit over three months ago when the same thing happened to me. I just wasn´t brave enough to post pictures and my own review here.
I got used to covering my smile when laughing (didn´t smile very much anyway), and turned my face away. Let´s hope months will go fast, just hang in there!
Something has happened to me! Now all of a sudden (after 3 months and 3 days) my smile seems to be about 80% back!! And just two weeks ago I said about 40%. Wouldn´t have believed three months ago that I would see this day - I was so afraid that this would be permanent. (Left under eye area is a bit bagged, but I will start exercising it now)
Warmest thanks to all you lovely women for your support! It was so great to find this review when I was so worried in the beginning and thought I was the only person in the world this has happened to.
