Do You Have Lip Fillers?

No filler, but I do have a lip flip (botox) it's so subtle only I notice and that's all I care about. I'm in my 50s and lips do get thinner as we age.

Why would you not just asking that in your opening post then?

I havent as I have full lips. However they are getting a bit thinner with age and if it continues I will likely get a little put in the top to get them back the way they were. I give no fucks about it - I genuinely don’t get the hate on here for it, each to their own surely. I personally don’t like the overdone/over-full look but again, it’s each to their own.

I mean you didn’t really articulate the point of your thread very well though did you? Just an abrupt ‘do you have lip fillers’ so not sure why you’re so pleased with yourself that the PP didn’t get the point when you didn’t even explain ‘the point’.

It seems you have no point other than to childishly say ‘wow don’t some women look so ‘scary’ with their lip filler’ and ‘I wonder why’ when it’s obvious why. Beauty is subjective but if you get off on starting these pointless threads you do you boo 🙄.

I think it's less judgemental and more puzzlement why some women want to make themselves look like jokes to follow the herd from cheap reality TV.

At least two women on this thread have talked about their experience and given considered reasons why they had it done. A lot won't even know why, except for everyone is doing it, guys like it (most don't actually), such and such influencer has it.

You look great. Most women don't though, they look comedy. If I'd met you in the street I'd never think you'd had a procedure.

I can’t belive people will happily post they are ‘disgusted’ or repulsed etc or that they ‘look like porn stars’ on a thread where a woman has already posted a photo that looks perfectly nice and that makes her happy.

really? It’s staggeringly rude.

Personally I’d be concerned if I were disgusted by other women. I’d need to start thinking about just how far my internalised misogyny had gone.

To answer the OP - no, I don’t have any.

👏 side point of view - always noticeable no matter how small they seem to be! They give the person a weird shape lip from the side hahaha.

No but I wish I did. I’m mid 50s and my lips have gotten thinner and I hate it. But can’t afford fillers so I will have to unfortunately live with it.

No and I never would. I don't need them, they look dreadful on most people I've seen and I don't like unnecessary pain.

No - never will

No way. A friend recently had 0.5 in upper lip with reputable Doc from the side it was v apparent as jutted out. She won’t be having it done and there is nothing natural looking about the procedure

No. I’m not judgemental about it though. I find the way that some women judge other women to be really sad. There is so much judgement on MN about women who have procedures or who care about their appearance.

Are they judgemental of women who do procedures or society that says women should do it?

I find it disturbing that so many young girls feel it's necessary

I get mine done approx once a year. 0.8-1ml each time.

And yes, they do make them noticeably bigger. Doesn’t mean it makes them look bad and, to be quite frank, don’t give a fuck if other people think they’re “too big” because I like how my face looks with them done.

Yes but I haven’t had them done for almost 3 years now so they are about 90% back to normal now and I look better without them.

The point is you want to stir up shit and make people feel bad for your own twisted gratification.
Just like the 100
other posts on the same subject.

Totally agree. Each to their own but I think it just stems from people not valuing their own loveliness! Lauren Laverne and winona ryder and lots of others have thinner lips and such pretty faces. Chances are you already have what suits you best.

I've had 0.5 twice in the last 3 years, and the difference it made to me is huge. I had no top lip but a normal bottom lip so it's just evened it out somewhat but it's by no means obvious. Definitely not overfilled or a duck pout, and I've been assured by very honest and straight talking friends and family that unless you know, you wouldn't know.

I completely agree with a previous poster, the subtle, well done lips look natural but the overfilled ones are what people think all lip fillers look like

Nope never will !
This reason why people do it is because social media pushes beauty standards which are now very off base !
like u can’t age u should be looking 20 at 50 !
And this will never happen if your 50 your 50 except it as part of the ageing process !
It rarely looks great no matter who has it done if the individual feels better in themselves fair dos but if the social norm was to enjoy and embrace the ageing process no one would be feeling insecure ! We would all be embracing a time in our lives that we have aged and accomplished things it’s not all about looks and this is something that is all consuming atm !!! X

It’s massively determined by who does the procedure and how subtle they are. I have friends who have had mini procedures done and you cannot notice anything at all! Now that I do it myself I notice that they has fewer lines than other people their age but that is it.

Botox done by a doctor - who themselves do not have anything noticeable done to their faces - is the best option. You will then still have movement - not a frozen forehead or puffed out lips. The practitioner can also keep you in check if you start wanting more and more filler or Botox that will look unnatural. Tretonoin cream is prescription only but also keeps the wrinkles at bay.

No. I’m not judgemental about it though. I find the way that some women judge other women to be really sad. There is so much judgement on MN about women who have procedures or who care about their appearance. Those who don’t care seem to think they’re superior.

I don't because I have pretty large lips anyway and I'm generally not interested in lip size. If you want filler then go for it. I'm sure some of the school mums in our school have it and it's so natural I can't even tell. Then there are the obvious ones which in my opinion look a little odd, but it's their face so they can do it if they want to.

I'm not against cosmetic procedures and have considered something for the lines I have on each side of my mouth, but admittedly only after my mum pointed them out. 🤨

Someone I worked with had a lip flip
The wet inner part of the lip showed and she spat all the time .
