Why do people get massive amounts of lip filler?

Your husband sounds awful.

I think it's a combination of the 'turkish' or 'barbie' nose i.e. small and slightly upturned, lip and cheek fillers, botox and jaw augmentation. Kylie Jenner is a good example.

I'm terrified of mannequins and they really remind me of them, that uncanny valley thing!

Yes I know, there's a particular sort of homogenous face that a certain type of woman has now and they all look identical. It's really very unsettling.

I don't get it at all, the women I know, including friends and family, that have it done all end up looking the bloody same! Massive lips and like weirdly stretched faces that look too shiny cos they can't seem to stop at just lips

Really? Me too.

In my job as work with young women. One set I work with all have the lips, fluttery eyelashes & dyed black hair. The other lot wear no make-up, are fresh-faced & have natural shiny hair. They look much better! I was fresh-faced at that age. And I had big lips anyway, lucky me! They’re still holding up some-what.

Women my age (48) & older who have lip fillers… And the rest. I think the heavy Botox brow is the worst look. Especially when the rest of your face is jowly! It all looks terrible…

They look awful! Like they've had a nasty incident with a vacuum cleaner.

A male friend said he quite liked them, but upon further questioning as he was smirking, turns out he likes them because he thinks it would add to the BJ sensation. 🤣🤣🤣. Basically some he would sleep with but never date.

This is one of the most ridiculous things I've read 😅😅😅.

I have never seen one person it looks good on. The worst view is from the side, it really looks like a duck's bill. It also makes the person look really gormless and unintelligent..can't say why, it's just honestly how I feel when I look at someone with those over filled lips

They do look better, yes. But they aren't ridiculously over-exaggerated. Just enhancing, in a good way.

I agree. I honestly don't believe many do like it.

I've only ever heard disparaging comments made about trout lips - obviously not in earshot of the person, to be clear.

It's the constant licking that gets to me. Every time I see someone with these awful implants their tongue is constantly flicking out and licking them. Just watch any of the celebs/reality stars with lip implants for a few mins and you'll see what I mean.
I watched an interesting documentary on lip and face filler. It doesn't all dissolve and it migrates throughout your face and can end up in the lymphatic sytem. Way too many unknowns for my liking.

Men like them because they are the hallmark of the bimbo/airhead who will do anything to please a man, ditto obviously fake breast implants.
Men like the porn star look because they like porn, in other words they see women as objects to be exploited and they see you as a woman who is signaling that you are willing to be exploited.

I don’t think it looks universally bad. Some people have very thin lips that benefit from a little but yes most people with lots in look bad. I’ve got quite big lips but I had some in to try and fill out a scar and even things up a bit. I did hate it. Felt ridiculous permanently pouting. Luckily it displaced quite quickly

I actually prefer the before lips. Top lip looks overfilled and her mouth looks sloppy. If she’s had a nose job, that looks good though!

@Mittens67 it's easier to opt out of the beauty standard if you have wealth, education, opportunity and connections.

It's also part of trend cycles in beauty standards for example
small bum -> big bum
Plucked eyebrows -> huge eyebrows
Etc

I think a lot of men do like the look but don't realise it's not natural. When it's overdone, not so much probably.

Seems to be a class element.
Just from seeing crappy reality programmes recently many of the essex crowd have weird lips and eyebrows but not the chelsea lot

LindorDoubleShot. .. I think it was profhilo. I had 0.7 mls injected . It has worked really really well an am absolutely delighted!

How many men genuinely like the look?

@twobluehorses disagree completely!

Also in an age where tons of women want to look uniformly the same (lip implants, filler etc) those who have natural beauty actually stand out much more and look more beautiful, as they don't have the same puffy clone face.

I think it's a tragedy for women to be honest in so many ways that they feel they have to do this ridiculous thing to themselves, to "improve" themselves when 99.99 times out of 100 it is completely unnecessary.

It’s rare that lip filler isn’t noticeable even at small volumes. The outside of the lip doesn’t grow bigger, it just stretches and pushes outwards from the face. It’s generally very obvious from the side even if not from the front.

Obviously people can do whatever they want to their faces but I do find it sad that as a society we are so hung up on looks that people will pay money to have chemicals injected into their faces to make themselves look “better”, and I worry at the unattainable standards being role modelled to young girls.

It's the patriarchy
Women gain rewards in society by hitting the beauty standards of the day.
The look is designed to appeal to men.
I feel sorry for young women as the pressure to conform to this in order to make progress in the world is intense.
