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

At least big dark eyebrows seem to be sinking into the Sea of Soooo Last Year Darling.

I was watching the Top of the Pops shows tonight from the 70s - 90s singers like Martika, Cathy Dennis, Debbie Harry etc and was struck by how individual all the women looked. Pretty, natural, lots with shorter hair and their own sense of style. The aesthetic today seems to be blow up sex doll!

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!

Yup. Following a childhood incident and then a fall when I was older, I needed one implant for a front tooth and veneers for top teeth which had been held together by composite and were discoloured by childhood antibiotics.

One of my veneers is only composite because the only way of attaching porcelain would have been to file down too much of the tooth and the dentist quite rightly refused to compromise a healthy but discoloured tooth.

NB My veneers are not dazzling white.

Demi Moore in Ghost.
so natural vs now. Not one actress now natural lips/face.

MaiAamWaliHun · 01/11/2024 21:37

I would imagine so-- fashion in 2014 probably seems out of date now too.

They already look dated and hideous.

I agree. They look terrible now and are not going to age well (in any sense).

LynetteScavo · 01/11/2024 21:36

There's a white teeth, big lips, boobs and bum, fake tan and tattoos look that already looks dated, but is going to look really funny in several years time.

It's not even like a fashion like a perm and white stilettos that can easily be changed, so they're going to age a person.

He had his redone to look more natural.

It doesn’t.

There’s now a huge body of evidence to show that it does not dissolve and can be found in the tissues decades later. It’s really a forever thing.

Although it does migrate and lose structure

Big teeth, lips and bottoms. They look like baboons.

Straight hair.
Tiny waist
Barbie girl look.

Gummybear23 · 01/11/2024 21:34

Fillers don't dissolve they migrate around the body potentially blocking lymphatic system.

They already look shite, and I think the trend will pass quickly. Last year fake lashes were all the rage, this year they already look dated. My hairdresser who is also trained in beauty said that unless you just get a tiny bit of lip filler, you either have to stick with it forever or lips just look terrible whenever you stop.

I've wondered about this. Because surely the skin stretches? So if you don't keep topping it up, would you get saggy lips? Confused

catin8oots · 01/11/2024 21:31

I was watching one of those 'best of the 80s tv' rubbish programmes on channel 5 the other night and it was wild

I'm not a fan of the teeth/lip current trend but I didn't realise quite how bad it was until I saw all the women on this show and they were normal! And so beautiful!

Slim. Freckles. Lovely human teeth. I'm only 44 and I felt like crying watching it.

Cas112 · 01/11/2024 21:30

There is already a trend of lip dissolving happening

One of the blokes on Big Brother has had his teeth done and I've never seen such fake looking teeth - even on MAFS!

I'm very prepared to be criticised for this post but I saw the photo today of Samantha Jayne Ramsay: the young woman who accused Al Fayad of sexual assault in 1990s. It really moved me. Apart from the anger on her behalf and the sorrow about how what he did to her affected her life I was just so struck by how natural she looked. Not only beautiful but a total individual with no duck pout lips. No artificially whitened teeth. No makeup that made her look like a plastic doll.
I think it's so sad how women these days are pressurised into making themselves all look the same. To look artificial. As though they have come off a production line.

No one is pressuring anyone people choose to do, yes soap stars, bloggers, magazines, influencers may all do it but people can make the choice

I am sick of everyone blaming society and 'pressure' when people can't think for themselves

And how many parents do if it themselves that teenagers learn off them?

They look bad now so they'll certainly look dated.

This. Some people look great. So many look really, really bad.

TwinklyAmberOrca · 01/11/2024 21:25

They already look awful! So many of the girls on MAFS all look so fake and similar.

There was a photo online the other day of the Spice Girls and it was refreshing to see how natural they all looked! So much prettier than today's obsession with fake.

Yes the huge Russian volume lashes seem to be fading away. And the massive brows.

I fear for these people who follow such a trend...remember when stretching your ear lob was popular! What makes younger women in particular think that hugely inflated lips and backsides look attractive.

I know it comes from black women saying having larger lips/butt is also attractive...and on a black woman it does. But that is a natural occurrence and looks in proportion and correct.
