I need a product specifically just for skin tightening. I would PREFER to be able to microneedle the product in as I don’t know how to inject.

I’m in early 30s - epidermal skin is in good condition- not many fine lines or anything (I have a solid skin routine).

The area I want to treat is the upside down triangle area running down side of nose to pyriform and up the other side to outer corner of eye and into temple. I don’t think the answer is more volume. Even with professional fillers, it somehow makes it look worse. I need tightening. Most days I use PTR Firm X across this area and it temporarily snatches it back exactly how I want - I want something more permanent though.

Is there anything???

Does anyone know of a good HIFU/Ultrasound device for a *beginner*? Not trying to burn an entire layer of fat off my face lol.

I want to reach the SMAS level to fix structural issues with slight jowling that I’m afraid will get worse with continued weight loss (I’m in my early 30s). Im trying to be proactive. I regularly use RF and skin is in excellent condition so this is *all* underlying structure that I need to shrink and anchor back.

I’ve seen a multitude of meal prep cookbooks online (I believe half of them are written by AI), and the other ones that look real have recipe photos that look like they have no flavor at all. This is why I specified I’m a southerner, I like spicy and spices. If I’m going to diet long term, I need to taste my food. There’s nothing that will ruin my diet quicker than some nasty ol water-tasting bland food. I like food that has flavor and that will probably also burn the asshole afterward. I like when my gums feel like they’re on fire while eating.

Can anyone direct me to a cookbook that is specifically for meal prepping throughout the week, low calorie, and one that uses a very liberal amount of spices?

I was assigned female at birth, and I identify as a woman, however I feel like certain parts of my facial structure and anatomy make me look more manly.

My body isn’t shaped like a womanly woman. I hold my weight in my lower belly and my hips are weirdly narrow. Even if I can manage to get skinnier, I retain the same shape.

My chin has always been wide, my nose is wide, my brows are low, my hairline is high, my cheekbones are low, and now I’m growing damn facial hair.

Being not only female but feminine is a very integral part of who I feel I am, but I feel like I’m not fitting in. I feel like a fraud when I’m around groups of women for some reason. Like I don’t measure up. Or like I’m an outsider. Like I’m different. Like I’m invading a space that’s not for me.

I’ve been misgendered in public on a few occasions even when it hasn’t made sense - ie. Wearing “girly” stuff, long hair, makeup on - and I’m actually really petite. I passed it off as maybe just a slip of the tongue but idk… what if they really thought I was a man? I remember when I was in school years a go a boy tried to be mean to me and said he told me he thought I was a boy. At the time, I didn’t believe I was manly looking, but looking back at pictures I still had the same face structure. Is this something people have always seen? Even my own father gave my feminine looking sister the little princess treatment while treating me largely like a boy growing up. I can’t help but feel like I don’t fit.

I look up pictures of facial feminization surgery and ways to make myself look more feminine all the time, though I don’t have money for it.

I’ve seen my “look” represented in many other women with PCOS. I just wonder if anyone else feels this way. I wonder if there’s a way to fix it.

I hate it. It causes me so much distress and I don’t know how to fix it. It feels like PCOS has destroyed my identity. I just want to be and look like who I am inside.
