To think in ten years all these huge veneers and huge lips will be seriously dated?

Eek, watching tv these days it's a sea of huge symmetrical bright white veneers.
So many of them look like they have got a teeth guard in when they are sucking on them.
Most of them just look really terrible and I dread to think what their long term teeth issues will be.
Add in the huge lips and filler faces and really it's a bit black mirror with all these faces looking the same. I know the lip filler can be dissolved but is that the same for all over the face? Will people be able to go back to how they were before once the filler blindness passes?
I've been watching old movies and the difference with natural teeth is quite something, it changes the natural shape of your face and everyone looks more individual .
Aibu or will it all look so dated in ten years and all these huge horsey veneers go out of fashion?
Or am I just getting old Grin

They'll all be left with saggy lips, pitted, uneven cheeks , slug tattooed eyebrows, grotty, wonky, stained veneers , wrinkly tattoos all over them and inflated boobs and bums. I hope whatever is left of the NHS tells them all to fuck off.

Edited

this is so horrible to say. therapy time for you x

The filler in lips usually just looks horrendous unless it’s done very subtly. They always look sore and tight.

The veneers come with significant risk especially if they’re done on the cheap, they look terrible and the damage to natural teeth is permanent.

Mlanket · 01/11/2024 22:34

honestly i think you all sound old and miserable. let people live ffs. the girls with botox and fillers probably think your wrinkles and thin lips look crap too but hey ho, they’re probably not sad enough to make threads about it

things don’t exist in a vacuum though. I have dc and worry about the world they are in.

Namechangefordaughterevasion · 01/11/2024 22:34

Filler gradually leaves the body so no problem there but veneers don't last long and wreck your natural teeth so there will soon be a generation of youngish people with teeth like Shane McGowan.

Some people want to look fake or Barbiefied. I am no stranger to a cosmetic intervention. The clinic I go to has several doctors. I see one who specialises in giving a natural look., but there are other doctors there who people see if they want to look 'done'.

When I was young only sailors or builders had tattoos. Now they are ubiquitous. I think in a few years time younger people will eschew them on the basis that they look old fashioned.

I think the fashion for turkey teeth is worrying. They have been left with stumps & will have to keep having veneers & then eventually dentures. My grandparents had those back in the 70s.

I also find old episodes of TOTP interesting as girls were wearing cargo pants, polo necks, shirts etc & had some make up but not loads. Think Natalie Imbruglia in Torn or the All Saints in Never Ever. They all looked amazing but really natural.

I don't know what the people having fake teeth & lip fillers will look like in their 50s & 60s.

Well they look nearly as awful as those women dragging around all of that excess flab from stuffing their faces; but surely it would be considered rude and unkind to mention that?

Yes I think the will be a massive backlash with the aesthetic industry

I think when the CQC (hopefully) start regulating it - it will get better. So many cheap work being offered by young women on social media who have done a day course in it

Probably. But I had a perm, skinny eyebrows that have never recovered. I try not to sound like my mother to my kids.

My eyebrows are awful due to overplucking/ waxing for years! Also had a huge spiral perm in the 80s a la Jenny Powell! My daughter thankfully prefers a more subtle natural look than what has been fashionable in recent years.

Gummybear23 · 01/11/2024 22:27

It easier to be natural.
Simple
Cheaper
Less time consuming
Gives the air of Confidence.

It is this what can be attractive.
Not the slug eyebrows
Spider lashes
Baboon lip and arse.
Botox and filler.

They shouts insecure, sheep, cheap and chav.

There’s a lady on instagram who’s been to Dubai and she’s taken her daughter for her 18th birthday and bought her veneers!!
Theyre honestly horrendous!
As for her lips! She’s also recently had her breasts done and it looks like she’s 2 balls stuck on her chest!!

Gummybear23 · 01/11/2024 22:23

They all look morphed and unattractive.
When u try too hard to look attractive u end up looking desperate.

Mlanket · 01/11/2024 22:22

On the other hand, Pamela Anderson, who was the ultimate pneumatic blonde, has had a total make-under & looks great.

Pamela has a beautiful face though.

Manchesteruser · 01/11/2024 22:22

And jet black hair, bushy eyebrows, false lashes and nails.

bryceQ · 01/11/2024 22:20

I think it's a look in some places but it's not universal. It's very much a "type" of aesthetic.

It's never been my cup of tea... I tend to find I'm going less and less make up as I age too. I prefer the glowy natural look. (With nice skincare)

NoisyDenimShaker · 01/11/2024 22:19

Let's face it, the slug eyebrows and duck lips crew are the new chavs! 😂😂😂

Mlanket · 01/11/2024 22:19

Some of the teeth are awful, they look like dentures from the 80s on an ageing game show host.

I think they all look a generic good 42. You look like a hot 42 year old- great when you're 55, not so great when you're 26. The love island women were the perfect example of this!

Yeah, I think when you see this work, you just kind of assume someone is over 30 - and there is absolutely nothing wrong with looking over 30, Jesus Christ, 30s is young, but it's odd when women in their 20s have it done because you just sort of think 'This is someone trying really hard not to look over 30, so they're probably over 30'

Most filler dissolves in 18 months to 2 years so if they stop having it they will go back to their old selves. That applies wherever they have the filler. The teeth I think are for good. I've seen pictures of the process and they grind the natural teeth down to put the veneers on so there'd be no going back from that. They'll just have to have crooked, chipped and off white veneers instead if the natural tooth look comes in. I'll be right there for that, ahead of the curve!

MRI studies show that on the contrary it often migrates and/or remains for up to 12 years...

BetterInColour · 01/11/2024 22:17

I work with lots of wealthier young women of a similar age, and they do not have either the Russian lashes or the very white blingy teeth. What they do have is long very well kept hair, natural straightened teeth (braces) and do their make-up more naturally although still plenty of it.

It's fashionable in some circles to have this very artificial look, but even on MAFS, Emma does not have the very white teeth or the ridiculous lashes and hers is the nicest make-up.

I have seen a couple of older women in real-life recently who looked ok from a distance but when I saw them speaking, that was the moment I realised I was not going for the filler look ever. I've made peace with my wrinkles, I need my face to be mobile and look interesting for my job and I feel a lot better letting go any worries about surgery, Botox or filler- I don't want people to get an uncanny valley vibe from me (although I agree a tiny amount of Botox in the 11's doesn't do this). I'm in my mid-fifties.

@ToriMJ A friend of mine is an aesthetics practitioner (trained nurse) and told me heavy filler use will sag people’s lips and faces. The material stretches and overloads the skin so many clients with overfilled faces will eventually need dissolving and facelifts to escape the sag.

So many people all look the same - deeply unattractive I think but each to their own.
