It’s beyond brutal how just a few millimeters of recession in the infraorbital-malar region can utterly cuck your anti-aging efforts

Rant incoming, inb4 dnr + autism

You can do everything right - healthy lifestyle, leanmax, spf and retinoids, dutasteride and minoxidil, botox and co2 laser, even be clean shaven + do laser hair removal for zero beard shadow - and STILL look aged and washed up if you have recession in this region.

As soon as the shield of perfect youthful collagen, elastin, connective tissue, and fat pads degrades juuuuust a little bit, you’re FUCKED - dark, hollow under eyes paired with deepening nasolabial folds are in store for you buddy boyo. Beyond brutal.

When I can manage to get in a good couple nights of sleep + use multiple layers of undereye concealer, it helps mask things a bit, but not by much. All it takes is standing under the right angle of harsh lighting, and the facade instantly crumbles. So you can imagine the brutality when insomnia strikes.

And it’s not just in my head, people who’ve known me for years have literally come up to me and said “damn bro, you’re looking kind of tired today, you aight?” Or “You looked so much younger back then bro (when looking at a photo of me even just 2 years ago JFL)”. Nuclear suifuel right there lads.

Admittedly, I haven’t been perfect in my softmaxxing efforts, but fuck me man, so many dudes I know within my age bracket who live much worse lifestyles than me, and who definitely don’t practice an ounce of preventative aging measures, look much younger and better than me, simply due to good bones and genetics. Maybe I’ll best them in the long run, but who gives af when you’re 50, it matters more NOW. This is why I’ve come to believe softmaxxing is only worth it up to a point, and further optimization past that is a complete waste of time and energy that would be better spent wageslaving for high ROI surgery. Just another genetic determinism, hiroshima nagasaki bp I guess.

There’s no coping with this, I just have to wait it out till I can afford ascension via facial osteotomies and implants + maybe even an early life composite facelift, depending on how favorably the soft tissue re-drapes over the enhanced bone structure. The slow savings grind to get there is so excruciating when you know that every year that passes you by is yet another part of your oh-so-limited prime gone forever. I still try to make the most of my time by enjoying good copes, family, going out with friends to bars and house parties and all that, but the reality is my looks level simply isn’t up to snuff yet, and I’m doomed to be an invisible, discardable jestermaxxing oofy doofy like all the rest, sans serious hardmaxxing.

@Foreverbrad Your advice of wageslaving for surgeries ASAP, starting in your teen years, is god tier. All you youngcels on this form better take heed. Had I learnt all of this shit back when I was 16, perhaps I could have had enough time to prevent this disaster. But now at 23, with high school and college in the rear view window, and so much time and energy wasted on pointless bluepill and redpill side quests I will never get back, the damage is done. At this point I’m simply trying to make the best of a bad situation.

It’s not all bad though. As Saint Rehab Room says, the mog and suffering in life is relative. Living in the first world, not having any major health problems, enjoying a relatively cush lifestyle, and enjoying good copes and platonic relationships makes life tolerable. But knowing just how much better it could all be hurts badly, no matter what you tell yourself to re-frame and cope with losing the genetic lottery.

Mirin' the hardmaxxing effort but these subtle nasolabial folds in the worst of lighting are the least of your problems. You're just wasting your time, other more important falios to fix. You also look below average at worst tbh, this thread is very exaggerated.

Dark circles yeah, infraorbital implants are your best bet. But this thread is pointless tbh, it's very doomer when the solution is right there. Yeah, it sucks, other people just have that infraorbital bone naturally, but you might as well move along rather than think about it constantly. You can also cope with concealer, can't say the same about your close-set eyes.

its not the bone structure that's the issue but the facial ratios and the soft tissue/ fat placement genetics. If you get lean and still can't see those bones its the fat distribution to the face and soft tissue placement which is the issue. Giant won't be able to help. Youll need some old looksmaxxing rater to help you or one that has keen eye for harmony. Best thing to do is find a celebrity/model that you closely resemble and try to mimick that within normal means so you don't get botched.

This nigga thinks he's an oldcel at the age of 23 with prominent nasolabial folds. Look at the thread he linked

I can't be the only one thinking this guy is focusing on the completely wrong problems JFL

Yeah his last sentence is like typical rope fuel that most initially blackpilled people . But without blackpill you would be coping your whole life, I see it as knowledge and another means of ways to improve. This isn't bad, yes he ain't chad but he can improve his life with the implementation of his plan.

He has a lot to improve for sure. But the LL and "nasolabial folds" is blackpill delusion. Nigga is getting LL at 5'10, I'd understand if he wasn't actually 5'10 and was larping. Just get lifts.

You have a death tier falio (0.40-41 esr) and your jaw frontal angle is bad, I have no idea why youre focusing on anti aging when it will just make you look more baby faced

initial phase of bp, he won't get like 70% of the stuff he's mentioning. LL and talking to giant itself is a meme and only reserved to those who are in the bottom percentile who are desperate. Its like the bimax surgery which is useless for normies.
I think he's already frauding to 5'10.
The dude is getting laser removal for his facial hair I mean jfl

Mirin' the hardmaxxing effort but these subtle nasolabial folds in the worst of lighting are the least of your problems. Obviously there are far more fundamental issues to address then the beginnings of the naso folds. I made this rant post because I'm just frustrated how a single subpar bone structure region (bad infras and flat cheekbones) can torpedo so many other efforts to look well rested, healthy, youthful etc. And I've barely begun to age in the grand scheme of things, this is a ticking time bomb as the years go by if it doesn't get addressed soon
You're just wasting your time, other more important falios to fix. Ideally the fixing of those larger failos will simultaneously fix the lesser failos - for example, bilateral orbital box and tripod osteotomies, fixated with custom supras and infra-malars, will not only achieve changes in the spacing and shape of the eyes but will also reshape and contour the soft tissue of the surrounding eye area - multiple birds with one large surgery stone
You also look below average at worst tbh, this thread is very exaggerated. Never claimed to be giga ugly, nomie oofy doofy tier instead. But you and the rest of this forum should know that that isn't enough to be genuinely desired in 2024
Dark circles yeah, infraorbital implants are your best bet. But this thread is pointless tbh, it's very doomer when the solution is right there. Yeah, it sucks, other people just have that infraorbital bone naturally, but you might as well move along rather than think about it constantly. You can also cope with concealer, can't say the same about your close-set eyes. Saving up for hardmaxxes is not a quick and easy task for the majority, myself included. Every year that passes by is yet another year of not living up to your full potential. So sorry not sorry for complaining every now and then, expecting people to easily accept and move on from the absurdity of different life outcomes based upon millimeters of bone isn't realistic. As I mentioned, I still do my best to live life and seize the day, but this lookism shit is something you can't simply forget once you learn how deep the rabbit hole truly goes. And as for the close set eyes, why do you think I want to consult with Giant? He pioneered cosmetic obo brotha
its not the bone structure that's the issue but the facial ratios and the soft tissue/ fat placement genetics. And just what do you think is a huge contributing factor for those unideal facial ratios and, to an extent, the soft tissue / fat placement? Probably something that rhymes with jones is my best guess
If you get lean and still can't see those bones its the fat distribution to the face and soft tissue placement which is the issue. Yes it's possible there could be a thick fatty layer of soft tissue that doesn't go away even with leaning out irrespective of bone structure, but dude I have the scans available, I could definitely benefit from some level of augmentation let's be real here
Giant won't be able to help. Youll need some old looksmaxxing rater to help you or one that has keen eye for harmony. Best thing to do is find a celebrity/model that you closely resemble and try to mimick that within normal means so you don't get botched.
LIke I know a fag that made his image around jake paul/jack harlow Trying to model oneself after a celebrity look alike is probably more likely to get yourself bogged than simply working to enhance what's there with a unique vision imo. And given I have one of the hardest failos to fix (close set eyes), of course I'm going to seek help from the guy who had the intelligence and ambition to pioneer, patent, trial, and showcase cosmetic obo (the only true fix for that failo)
This nigga thinks he's an oldcel at the age of 23 with prominent nasolabial folds. Look at the thread he linked They're not very prominent yet but the groundwork is there, it's not going to magically get better. And yes, at 23 there is still time for a meaningful prime to happen, but as this community should know ascension is not something you fuck around with, you need to make your moves early in life. Some would say it's already far too late for me jfl
I can't be the only one thinking this guy is focusing on the completely wrong problems JFL Please elucidate brother, I think I have a lot of my failos, and the potential fixes for them, dead to rights
Yeah his last sentence is like typical rope fuel that most initially blackpilled people "Initially blackpilled". I know this is a huge cliched meme, but I've been lurking this site for a long time, even with this recent greycel account standing contrary to that. And to a certain extent, I've been forced to be some level of blackpilled since age 13, when acne began erupting across my face and I had to go through the middle school ringer as a pizza face. I ain't some naïve novice
But the LL and "nasolabial folds" is blackpill delusion. Nigga is getting LL at 5'10, I'd understand if he wasn't actually 5'10 and was larping. Just get lifts. I explicitly stated in my first thread with the overarching ascension plan that LL is not necessary - I might get it. I've never felt short throughout my life and would probably do just fine without it, for the record. But the benefits of being tall are overwhelming and undeniable. If the data all points towards one conclusion, and taking into account how colossally huge the reaper of lookism is in daily life, I feel justified in at least exploring it as an option, obviously after fixing the higher priority (face) given my acceptable base height. And the naso folds are very much starting to form, not a massive problem yet ofc but once again these things progress over time, it's not delusional to be proactive about it. I have lifts too, easy low hanging fruit so why not, but you should be able to understand the appeal of a permanent solution
You have a death tier falio (0.40-41 esr) and your jaw frontal angle is bad. Hence the necessity for Giant
I have no idea why youre focusing on anti aging when it will just make you look more baby faced Because saving up to get better bones with surgery on an average salary takes a long ass time, and anti-aging is 1) a water is wet no brainer aspect of looksmaxxing, 2) something best done as early as possible, 3) something you will have to pursue your entire life if you want to achieve meaningful/noticeable mitigation, and 4) relatively low hanging fruit cost-and-effort wise for the preventative softmaxxing aspect of it. So might as well get it out of the way now instead of letting things fester during the savings grind
initial phase of bp, he won't get like 70% of the stuff he's mentioning. Not an entirely unlikely scenario, given how expensive hardmaxxing is, but what else is there to do in this life? I've already accepted my lot and am doing what I can to enjoy the cards I was dealt as-is. But better looks matter at any age, so given enough time via grinding at a 9-5, anyone in a country with a decent economy can eventually scrape the funds together for surgery, even if it takes years and years, which is 100% my plan. It's not a black and white thing, you can both enjoy the ride and aim for improvement, there's a lot of multi-dimensionality at play here
I think he's already frauding to 5'10. What reason would I have to larp my height? I can post some form of proof if you really want me to
The dude is getting laser removal for his facial hair I mean jfl
just :feelswhy::feelswhy: atp I see you haven't been pilled on beard shadow yet smh smh. Especially on a boneless face like mine it looks horrible
No shit sherlock. Sculpted chiseled facial bone structure of a Super Hero is superiority. :blackpill::redpill::blackpill::redpill: Finally, someone who gets it

The cost of it all is a real kick in the balls on average or low salary.

It’s like being born with a debt you have to pay off for your whole life.
£30k on bimax and infras early in your life is catastrophic, that £30k could have been a million by retirement. Thousands a year needed on other treatments too that probably could have been avoided with better genetics.

But it’s that or not really have a life at all. An optimistic take would be that the sooner you get hardmaxxing out of the way, the more time you’ll have for your improved looks to positively impact your career.

I mean looks won't really boost your career. But at the same time looks are still so important that its worth it. I mean having money is important also but without comfortable skin you won't even do shit in your life

your income is in USD or Euros apparently

one or two years of wageslaving and you have enough funds to undergo whatever surgery or implants you want on a third world country

are you willing to do it though or you think only US doctors are eligible enough to do this? I have seen botched cases by US doctors, they're not any better than the rest of the world

PEEK infras in Brazil would cost you approximately $5k, find a trustworthy surgeon with experience on this
