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

I think it’s a shame everyone wants to look the same, individuality is attractive.

If veneers are done properly there is minimal tooth taken away. When you see those peg teeth it is usually what someone has done when they go abroad for dental work and it's usually crowns placed not veneers, it is so detrimental to your teeth! Fully imagine a lot will need these "pegs" extracted down the line. And yes they look like a gumshield because usually all stuck together in a row and extremely difficult to keep clean, another reason they'll fail. But even with the best of veneers nothing as good as your own teeth! And I think a slight imperfection in a smile is beautiful.

Who cares? Let people do what they want 🤷🏻‍♀️

Not at this rate they haven't.
The big lip filler brigade are adding tattoos like there is no tommorow.

Most filler dissolves in 18 months to 2 years so if they stop having it they will go back to their old selves.

@5128gap When skin has been plumped out, it doesn't necessarily just snap back how it was before. You are left with loose/ sagging skin. (Take weight loss, for example).

Lips that have been plumped out with filler which has then dissolved are probably not going to look very good.

I saw this today. and thought exactly the same thing. A beautiful young woman, natural and vibrant, obviously an old photo but wasn't a bit dated; just normal, timeless.

Very often people start off with a tiny bit of Botox and it looks great. They then find after a couple of years they’ve lost a bit of volume (paralysis of muscles will do this) so they start having filler. This then stretches the skin that’s already lost tone around it and it’s then just a cycle they can’t get out of.

Veneers or ‘turkey teeth’ are permanent as the natural teeth are shaved down.

Im some ways it’s like people want a real life filter effect so there isn’t the huge discrepancy between online looks and real life with all the filtering etc . It can look eerie though and ages them in a bizarre way as yes there are less wrinkles etc but it does something that can make people in their twenties appear as if they could be any age from 25-40 (I really noticed this on the last love island I was shocked to learn how young some of the women were yet they looked flawless but not youthful?)

why are tattoos being brought into this. tattoos aren’t a trend, people have been getting them for years?

People who Fillers have so many risks people don't think about. For starters, fillers can cause granulomas—little areas of inflammation—when the body tries to fight off the foreign material. And let's not even get into filler migration! You inject it in one place, and a few months later, it could shift somewhere else. 😳
The scary part is the risk of fillers blocking the lymphatic system, causing swelling and potentially impacting drainage. Chronic inflammation from fillers isn't great either since constant immune activation has been linked to higher disease risks in other contexts.
Honestly, it makes you wonder—remember when everyone was obsessed with sunbeds? We all know how that turned out! If anyone's thinking about getting fillers, it’s Not worth the risk.

I'm thinking that a lot of the 'tweakment' faces, whether it be lips or buccal fat removal to hollow out cheeks, you get just this thing where all women look about 35. 19 and have it done? You look 35. 63 and have it done? You look 35. It's odd.

The teeth look horrendous and underneath the veneers are just little stumps. I have no idea why anyone would go and get that done.
The only option will be to have implants and a full prosthetic because those teeth will be fucked in a few years time.

The huge lips have already passed their prime, the current trend is all about making make up etc look natural as possible and lots of “watch me get my filler dissolved” tiktoks where the end result is almost always better than the before.

The obvious fake teeth are also losing traction. I think the people who had their teeth shaved down to nubs in turkey on the cheap are going to have no end of problems in years to come. People who already had very bad teeth I think fair enough, you look better and your confidence will be heightened so worth it, but the youngsters with perfect natural teeth already doing it I think nooooooo what are you doing!

That's what I thought. I've been ever so slightly tempted to plump up my top lip lines (despite never being a smoker) but if I don't keep it up, I'll look like a deflated balloon.

I had so many antibiotics as a child my two front teeth were striped and crumbling at 20 my dentist put in crowns. They lasted over 30 years. I then had implants, they do look natural, tooth colour matched.

It's amusing to think if archaeologists were to dig us up in the next millennia would our teeth, boobs, bottoms still exist 😊

@pavementgerms . But what do they do when there's a power cut? They still have the same face, yet nowhere but reality to show it.

Oh, I was holding back. Not only do these identikit girls with their duck lips and slug eyebrows look incredibly thick, they also look extremely lower-class!

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

The difference is, lots of these people are claiming they've had nothing done. That and TikTok filters make younger people feel that their appearance is "wrong" and needs fixing.

Oh, please. When teeth are ground down to pins, there's no way they look natural. Veneers always look like veneers. And fillers? They're a ticking time bomb. They migrate, don’t dissolve fully, and can even block the lymphatic system.
Remember when everyone praised sunbeds? We all saw how that turned out

So many people on MN claim that "no one can tell" when they have lip filler (which begs the question, why do it). You can tell, and it never looks good.

Me, as a teenage punk in the 1970s, I feel I can't be too judgemental, but merely await the next phase of 'beauty' to behold.

Isn't that what the young are s'pposed to do? Like shock the staid, set in our ways older ones? Or like maybe, yunno, try and look younger than what we is?

After all, who on earth were we 70s punks trying to set straight but the survivors of a massive world war who kept schtum and quiet after their maelstrom. Just like the survivors of the WW1 horrors did before them.

Can't wait for the saggy, lined and experience-told face to catch hold again. I believe at one time the aged 'face' held a bit of cachet.

It looks terrible, whether young or old.

Kylie Jenner, young = Michael Jackson
Tulisa, young-ish = blow-up doll

Jennifer Aniston, middle-aged = why??
Michael Jackson, good-looking = tragic

All blonde Love Island types = the same
Same with the blokes. Joey Essex = no!

Yep! People actually destroy their perfectly good teeth for veneers. And they don't last forever, have to be replaced along the way, and every time you do, the teeth get grinded down a bit more. Absolutely mind-boggling that people choose 'turkey teeth' for permanent underlying teeth.
