21, What can I do to address facial aging concerns? (Photos)

The most helpful thing at your age is avoiding sun and smoking That will age you faster than anything else. Just basic skincare

Thanks for your question.
At 21, noticeable changes like nasolabial folds or mild under-eye puffiness are usually due to facial structure, genetics, or volume loss, not true aging. Skin sagging at this age is very uncommon.
You may benefit from:
Skincare focus: Hydration, sunscreen, retinoids, and a healthy lifestyle.
Non-surgical options: Light filler for midface support (cheeks) can soften folds and improve under-eye appearance.
Under-eye treatments: If hollowness is present, tear trough filler (by a skilled injector) can help.
A professional facial assessment would give the most accurate guidance. No major intervention is likely needed at your age.

Facial aesthetics, especially in young people are almost exclusively based on facial skeletal structure.
Is the facial skeleton that determines each person individual look whether attractive or not so much.
Because of this the best treatment options are going to be once that alter rate and give support for the tissues Comparable to what a better facial skeletal structure would do.
Parts of the face that don’t have a strong foundation are going to lead to soft tissues that look like they sag or loose definition.
For example, if someone has a small mandible, they develop a premature double chin, loss of jawline definition, and premature jowls.
The midface is no exception.
When it doesn’t have good projection, the soft tissues will look shallow and patience will develop bulging of the lower eyelid, fat pads prematurely.
The best treatments are going to be volume augmentation, which are best done with quality filler injections.
Doing fillers well is an art that takes years to master.
The majority of providers offering facial fillers don’t really do that great of a job so finding the right provider is probably the number one goal.
In the hands of the right provider you’ll be given the right solution and those will be implemented correctly.
This is by far the most important variable, and I suggest you focus your efforts on provider selection as being the most important.
Finding the right treatment without the right provider is going to be an undesirable experience.
At your age, I would avoid permanent surgical intervention.
To get a better understanding of what facial volume can accomplish consider looking at the website of Dr. David Mabrie, MD in San Francisco.
Real self doesn’t allow me to include website links so you’ll have to Google his name.
David is a facial plastic surgeon whose practice is exclusively devoted to facial volume enhancement using fillers only.
David’s work is the best I’ve ever seen and I consider his outcomes to be the gold standard.
I don’t recommend everybody fly to San Francisco twice a year to get facial fillers, but seeing his outcomes can be a powerful educational tool to understand what fillers can accomplish in the hands of the right provider.
Best,
