It's been a month and a half since I first posted this question... I wanted to pop in and thank you all for the additional responses and also update a bit.
I ramped up my water intake, started ensuring I got plenty of sleep, and started doing simple daily moisturizing (with sesame oil.) It's going great! My facial skin has noticeably improved, plus I'm just kind of used to my current face now! The wrinkles are def here to stay, but the erm smile lines that go from my nose to the corners of my mouth, well, they aren't as deep/roll-looking if you know what I mean. It's like everything has settled flatter and doesn't look as... saggy, lol, or whatever. My facial changes don't even bother me at all anymore; it's odd, but I don't even think about it. I thought it was going to bother me forever, for real.
Now, can I get a magic wand to get rid of these batwings LAWD
