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

Sorry- to add- women have fought for the right to do things for themselves and you’d think we’d come a long way…

Yet here’s 12 pages full of (presumably) women trying to tear others to shreds for having a different idea of what makes them feel good. Nice.

Goodness…let’s hope it falls out of fashion to do things that don’t affect anyone else to ourselves to make ourselves feel good!

Would much rather spend my time on a pedestal looking down on those making themselves look more whispers lower class

They look like clones of Daisy Duck carved from mahogany!

They all look like clones of Pete Burns funnily enough ...

I agree. The 24 year old looked about 15 years older than my 24 year old DD. One of the Love Island participants had had so much work done on her teeth and lips that she couldn't even close her mouth!

Interestingly, I don't think the fashion for spider eyelashes and lip fillers is declining where I live. More young girls than ever are favouring the trout pout and heavy eyelash look.

I've seen this look loads in Norwich and Ipswich pubs/clubs.

Way back in time didn't Cher have some lower ribs removed to cinch her waistline???? Allegedly.

Agree that it could be regional, don’t really see it where I am in East Anglia. I only really notice it when visiting big cities elsewhere.

I believe they are more interested in doing that, which is why we can't get regular appointments. I could be wrong, but I doubt it.

What’s your definition of lower-class?

I met an ex pupil recently and I was so shocked when I saw her. Such a beautiful girl only three years ago. She was barely recognisable with the lips. And maybe something with her cheeks? Is that a thing too? Any girl on my year at school would have killed to look as she did. I don't understand why she has warped her face like that.

We had a spate of mums coming into parents’ evenings with lip fillers etc.

Turned out that the local dentist was doing it.

Since lockdown, I’ve had to fill in a questionnaire prior to each appointment. There’s always a query as to whether I’m interested in fillers.

Come on then, load a picture of ya gob.

Ah. Should have realised that you only meant the Turkey teeth.

There aren't that many people I know with lipfillers/veneers but the rise in younger people having large tattoos has definately increased and as a previous poster stated, except for the Swedish study - there s very little evidence on its safety.

Tattoos are very trendy atm. On a recent sun holiday - there were only a very few inkless young people around. I've cared for lots of older people and i often chat about their tattoos (Im medical and ill spark up any conversation during procedures). I like the artistry of some tattoos, however most older people respond with how they regret them.

I think many tattoos look nice but I think the level its at atm is also a trend which will be over soon

Not true with lip filler. If you have large amounts of lip filler it stretches the skin so when you don't have filler in them anymore the skin can be saggy and loose.

Agree it makes them all look the same and aged 42😂

My kids are late teens and are the same in not liking the 'fake' look. They and their friends aren't fans of sleeve tattoos either.

I wonder if it will die out as each generation want to be a bit different than the one before

OT but I would discourage anyone from having a tattoo based on this recent Lancet study:
www.thelancet.com/journals/eclinm/article/PIIS2589-5370(24)00228-1/fulltext

Our findings suggested that tattoo exposure was associated with an increased risk of malignant lymphoma. More epidemiologic research is urgently needed to establish causality.

Injecting stuff in your body other than researched medical products isn’t a great idea.

I can’t believe people are equating plucking eyebrows with injecting filler and Botox. Not in the same league.

I am in my fifties and actually like my wrinkles. I am confident and think I look pretty good! No implants, filler or Botox. I do love shopping and fashion though.

My 18y daughter hates the fake look. But she said what hope do she and her friends have if the pressure is on to stay looking ‘young’ forever. She says when she is fifty, will everyone be injecting and filling their faces with crap?

I think it’s crazy what women are doing to their faces now. It actually depresses me. Esp the fake lips. It’s never a good look. I see it on TV and social media rather than in real life. My kids and their peers really don’t embrace this look at all. And neither do my friends thankfully.

True, @Colourfulduvets , if you’ve got the money, you can generally get something fixed!

Yes to ageing with lots of tattoos, it's going to be interesting to see how some look with time.

It's the same with a lot of these things, as you get older you realise how your body & face change and I wonder how some of the cosmetic changes made in your twenties will look when you reach your fifties and beyond.

But I guess things are changing all the time and no doubt there will be a new procedure along to take care of it if enough people need it.

😂😂😂😂

I said they LOOK thick and lower-class, not that they are! Read!

You, and many others on this thread, should thank their lucky stars that your face doesn't match your personality, because THAT is truly as ugly as sin.

@Colourfulduvets Yep, I feel the same as a 50-year-old. If it’s reversible, go for it, if not think long and hard about it!

I have nothing against tattoos, but I’’m now v. aware of what happens when your skin starts to lose its elasticity. Many of my friends have a single tattoo and it still looks fine, although it’s slightly lost its definition.

I wouldn’t recommend a sleeve though, they can look really saggy.
