Why do people get massive amounts of lip filler?

And AIBU to say it shouldn’t be allowed?

I would love to hear from someone who thinks it looks good on them and why?

Is it an addictive thing? Once you start you keep going bigger and bigger?

I have NO ISSUE with nips and tucks and women doing whatever makes them feel good but I do not understand lip filler it’s the one thing looks universally awful.

This look is dying out a bit now, like the big slug eyebrows, I wonder if a more natural look is around the corner after what's been quite an intense overdone look.

@CobaltRewind they want to look like ducks?????

I don’t think the OP is talking about women who have a bit of filler as a “tweak” is she? Massive lips that look like the person is in the throws of an anaphylactic reaction to something is either mental illness or attention seeking, probably both.

thankfully, I think the trend is fading away.

They like it. That's all that matters. It's not for you and that's great but it's also great that it is for them.

I'm with you OP I've honestly never understood the appeal. Never liked the look - obvious, fake and you can always tell, even if just a small amount applied. Who wants to look fake? Lots of people obviously.

They're just so easily accessible now. We live in a little town and the local highstreet has closed a butchers and a pet shop and 2 aesthetic clinics have popped up. Not to mention all the mobile businesses in the area.

It's an easy tweak. Easier than a gym membership and cheaper/less daunting than actual cosmetic surgery.

Maybe they like the way it looks? If you don't you don't have to have it, do you?

I would hazard a guess that every single person that has cosmetic surgery such as lip fillers will have self esteem issues, whether they're aware of it or not. I'd love there to be enforced mental health assessments before anyone is allowed to disfigure their natural looks in this way. It's really quite sad.

You'll get people who have it, telling you theirs looks natural. It rarely does, especially the side profile.

DollopOfFun · 24/12/2024 18:00

Because they obviously don't think it looks awful.

Duurrh.
