Does higher hormone use causing a faster aging face ?

[Love_to_Bodybuild]

I know it happens. I've seen a recent Justin Compton video podcast and he has some serious lines going down his face. Dorian has them, and had them even when he competed , and he retired at thirty six years old. Seems Caucasian people have them most. I see some of it on female bodybuilders although no way as pronounced as male bodybuilders.

Is this dose dependent? Or is it certain compounds like stuff that aromatizes does this, or even high dose deca ?

I could stay on longer and a lower dose but I like to taper up, maybe use max dose at most for five weeks , taper down a couple or few weeks then go down to true trt.

As a amature competitor, heavyweight, possibly even super heavyweight ,on stage, I noticed this past cycle I went as high as 1200 mgs, my mom started to comment on my face around nose down around mouth looking puffy. She mentioned it quite a bit. Been on trt last two months and it's gone down. About to start maybe 600 mgs two weeks on a minimum cut, then go up to 900, 1200, and maybe 1500 if I can handle it. I don't want to lose my good facial looks and age my face .

I think so

Dieting down will deplete collagen and you'll notice it happen in your face. I have the lines under my nose and cheeks are starting to be sunk in even when Im not dieting. Someone posted on here that DNP also does that. I used it a few years back and my face isn't been the same, dieting for shows makes it even worse.

At some point botox and fillers will be needed. I've been trying to hold off as long as possible but I turned 32 this year and will likely give in soon.

A lot of these younger guys look older. Bret wilkin. Dallas. Ian. Nick. They all look way older than what they are.

Probably. I asked Dow, the source and God to help me with it. To bring me more peace, patience, positive thinking when things feel overwhelming. This is me a month ago .

How old are you?

 

[Love_to_Bodybuild]

How old are you?

Forty two

Skin looks great for 42 - good even for a 25-30 year old, you just look tired and puffy; not like your skin is haggard. I'm 26 and been using gear for a good number of years on and off, it DEFINITELY ages you as a white guy.

Really? I mean, to each his own, but I guess it depends on the look you're going for. Men tend to be viewed more favorably when they age (in general), so I'm really not worried about it. Besides, botox and fillers all end up making people look fake IMO

You look fine bro. Having stress, working hard, and getting older are all going to make you age. I have lines and slight bags under my eyes. Fuck it. I take that shit out on my body. FTW

 

[Fleezy]

puffiness could be from a multitude of things

Sinuses, cortisol, body fat (of course).. etc

I think you look great for 42, i was just going to say, it makes the younger guys look older, but when you get to a certain age they actually help maintain a younger appearance

@Love_to_Bodybuild ... with my eyes closed you are really handsome.
You actually look younger than 42...if you never told your age, I would say you look 41 years old.
Lol...I kid you brother.

Seriously...you think the weather(environment) where you live affects it?

Seen so many females in Miami with filler all throughout their face.
Instead of looking attractive, they look like Mr Bill

I too bumped up my test dose... Face is puffy in the same area. But I'm 50, not white... I didn't notice the increased aged look just until now.
In my 40s I still passed for late 20s early 30s.
Now im getting early 40s.

I think extreme weight loss is the real culprit. When guys go from extreme bulking to a dramatic cut. You’ll see the same phenomenon in obese people who lose a lot of weight. Lots of reports of it with Ozempic / Wegovy users who lost a lot of weight. With that in mind, I don’t think the hormones are to blame, at least not to a large extent.
