Do You Have Lip Fillers?

@Greedybilly Thats a massive over generalisation.

I had it done to look like me following the effects that cancer treatment had on my lips.

It had nothing to do with creating over blown, blow up doll lips and nothing to do with how a man viewed me.

It was for me. To feel like me. And I will be having them done again.

I had lip fillers 4 years ago. Basically I have smokers like lines around my mouth which I hate. I'm in my thirties and never smoked. I asked the Dr if I could have filler in the lines but he said not an advised filler in the vermilion border of my lips. I went to get it done and he started talking about injecting into my lips. I made it very clear it wasnt what I wanted but he reassured me.

I really didn't like the look, they weren't huge at all but I felt they looked off. Also they migrated under the bottom lip (see pic) but he tried saying they hadn't migrated at all.
Anyway, it's all gone now. I've considered getting them done again; a tiny 0.5ml. Not to make them look bigger as such but I feel they look wrinkly and are shrinking. However I'm too nervous.

No - my lips are fine as they are.

No but I'm fortunate to have been blessed with ridiculously fat lips which are now fashionable. I am considering botox on my deep 11s though.

Anyone watched the Victoria Beckham documentary on Netflix? From the side her top lip sticks out way further than the bottom, is that filler or something else? When she's talking to Eva Longoria, it's very noticeable.

It is just fashion, really, especially for youngsters.
When I were a chick, it was straightened hair & fake tan.

I haven't had lip filler. I don't feel I need it, but I don't like the thought of injecting something unnecessary into my body so wouldn't ever do it anyway.

I've still got quite full lips in my early 60s, but they're no longer quite as full as when I was a teenager. Like others on here I used to get teased about them. Amazing how fashion changes, really.

Well the reason is obvious isn't it. The fashionable thing at the moment is big lips and people want to look nice and so get them done. In reality alot of them look ridiculous but they don't notice anymore because other people also have big lips

It really hurts!

You can always tell from the side profile.

No, I'd rather spend my money on something more interesting. I don't think full lips are any better than thin lips, and overdone ones are worse. And I really don't care or give a second thought to what mine look like. Ditto botox and fillers.

And drop down on each side into the gum and teeth area (upper lip).

No. I already have quite desirable lips.
Good shape, still plump. Nice smile.

I also highly doubt that event even happened. How would a 5 year old know if someone's had lip fillers or not. Or even care. I hope your charming little one doesn't point at disabled or vulnerable people too.

id be so embarrassed.

What a rude little boy you're raising. Evidently displaying perfect model behaviour by yourself. wouldn't want my child associating with another rude boy who thinks is ok to stare and point at people. Perhaps you should take a look in the mirror.

No. It looks ridiculous. I was with my 5 year old the other day and he couldn’t stop pointing at this lady’s ludicrous lips from the other side of the cafe. Take a look in the mirror!

Had them done a few years ago but they looked fucking horrendous so I had them dissolved. Never again.

No because I’ve always had thin lips & I’ve only had “work” done which IMO makes me look like a fresher, less knackered, brighter version of me. I’m not interested in changing my actual facial features.

No it's not. And it's offensive to say that. As I said above thread, I had gruelling rounds of chemotherapy at 23. It sapped every ounce of volume from my face.

I only 'put back' what I 'lost' and look no different now to when I did pre chemo. I have uploaded before and afters on previous threads before.

I am not doing it due to pornification. I do not look like a prostitute, a duck, cheap, chavvy, like a blow up doll and every other misogynistic name mentioned on this thread.

the ones shouting all these vile names to the likes of people like me are the ones making us step back in time. Not us individuals having treatments we want and can afford.

we are also not responsible for safe guarding your children against wanting to have things done as they get older.

HTH.

@BastardtheCat

I don’t know, my mother is a huge critic of mine - almost everything gets commented on negatively and she’s never said anything about them. My husband says you wouldn’t know but he’s probably used to them by now.

I do understand the temptation to go bigger. Like a PP said, you think “ok, I’ve had x-ml done and I look soo much better.. if I double the amount, I’ll look doubly as good.” My dentist wouldn’t do it, he has said that he refuses to make people look ridiculous and his professional reputation is worth more to him than x amount of money. I respect that.

I can admit I feel sad about my “fading looks” - I’m not young, and I’m not old. I am in between, I’ve spent the last 11 years dedicating myself to my children and it very much looks like it.

No.

Apart from you, has anyone else noticed that they’re done?

No. I have a full bottom lip but a very thin top lip.

I just couldn’t get fillers though. I see so many dreadful ones about, including the really tight, painful ones that look like they are going to burst and you can still see the needle holes

I used wonderskin lip stain stuff to slightly over line the top lip and that makes a bit of a difference to me.

So what? Hairdressers will no doubt know that I have my roots done & beauticians would know that I do my own manicure & polish. And they probably wouldn't care

Ew, no, it's painful even to imagine it and I really don't like the little ridge it seems to give people. Definitely prefer the natural look here.
