I've attached a pic.

I've been so tempted to get lip fillers put in. There's nothing wrong with my lips per se, but I'd like them bigger. DH thinks I'm being stupid as there's nothing 'wrong' with them. Am I? I feel like the balance is off and I'd like them fuller, also a more defined Cupid's bow. TIA.

@MeTheCoolOne the weight gain is NOT okay. Went from 10st to 12. Deeply unhappy with it.

Thank you to the kind comments. I see freckles and uneven lips but I think my insecurities are being heightened by dear relative.

OP, I've had my lips filled so not opposed to it at all but hand on heart you do not need it. Your lips are gorgeous and if mine were like yours I wouldn't have had mine done! You're so pretty, take no heed of whoever it is telling you you need it.

Whoever this person is who has been whispering in your ear has done a right number on you. Please ignore them as they do not have your best interests at heart.

First off, your lips are in perfect proportion aesthetically and moreover, you are very attractive. Gorgeous in fact. Don’t mess with your face. Your proportions are terrific; lovely symmetry too. Great jaw line and cheekbones.

The blond hair, fake tan, filled lips, hair extensions, fake boobs, ridiculously large sticky out butt is fake fake fake. Oh and a very pornified image often too.

Be an individual. Be you. Don’t take any advice from your relative.

Some dear relative. Hmm

Shame you can't tell her to fuck off. What a rude cow.

Don't do it! A little bit of asymmetry is what makes us look right. If you even everything out perfectly you'll definitely look like you've had work done.

You have lovely full lips! Whoever is telling you they're not good enough is a rubbish friend/ family member

Please ignore the idiots on this thread giving you "advice" on how to get fillers in your beautiful lips.

They do NOT need fillers.

I think you have lovely lips. Please don't fuck with what you have and whoever is telling you otherwise needs to piss off!

OP you are utterly beautiful! Please don’t mess with perfection!! I have never seen anyone look good with fillers - just fake, plastic and tacky. Whoever this relative is, they are jealous of you as you are so naturally gorgeous. If you are unhappy about the weight gain, that is a fix you can totally do....but please don’t go messing about with those lovely lips!

You've got big lips already. They certainly don't need to be made any bigger. Why would someone as pretty as you feel a need to have alterations made. Katie Price was pretty when she was younger but she's just a mess now. If the money's burning a hole in your pocket, give it to the local cats home or dog rescue.

You are beautiful. I worked with an early twenties stunning girl who has had her lips done. I have no doubt she thinks she looks more ‘on trend’ attractive but it is so so obvious and fake. I can’t imagine men like it? She was much prettier being natural. There was nothing wrong with her lips, they just weren’t massive.

Don’t do it! It’s very rare to not look ‘done’

No. You don't need this, you look normal, natural and beautiful as you are!

I thought it was normal to have a fuller bottom lip?

My lips are absolutely fine, nothing wrong with them at all, but I got them done last month just for some more fullness in my top lip and I adore them. I will keep getting them done.

Please don't do it, you are great as you are.

Focus on your greatness and what everyone sensible on here is saying. Embrace who you are. Don't start down a slippery and expensive slope that leads to insecurity, not happiness.

And this person you know who is commenting needs something better to do with their time.

You are beautiful and your weight does not define you. You have really lovely lips and teeth which are perfectly in balance. You don't need to change a thing!

Look you’re a nice looking girl but you need to work on your self esteem. And, frankly, such self obsession with your looks is unhealthy and quite tedious.

A young woman should have so much more on her mind than her upper to lower lip ratio ffs.

Op you are stunning, you don't need filler at all and tell your relative to fuck off. I think fillers look awful and so many ladies look strange , I like others can't stop staring. Learn to love yourself the way you are , flaws and all! No one is perfect.

You have been blessed with lovely full lips, you have a lovely smile and you are very pretty. You are honestly seeing something that isn’t there.

It is your body and your decision, and I’m not against people having enhancements that lift their self esteem...but I’ve never seen lip filler that looks natural.

Please dont mess with your lovely lips. I saw a young girl the other day who had obviously had fillers, her mouth looked like a ducks beak. I couldn't stop looking at her, it was fascinating but not in a good way. Just google Leslie Ash, she ruined her face.

Your lips and your face are lovely. Really beautiful. You also appear to have perfect teeth.

I remember being young and pretty and feeling ignored and having family who could only say negative things. I don't know what the solution to their behaviour is. In your case, you can now truthfully respond to the nitpicking by saying lots of people have told you you have beautiful lips.

For a boost that can't do any damage, you could spend time and money trying different hairdressers and getting your long, wild hair (I think that's how you described it) styled different ways. It will probably look great, and if it doesn't, you can fix it with one wash, unlike lip fillers. After long and careful consideration you might decide to commit to cutting and/or colouring it, although that needs maintenance and can´t be fixed in one wash.

You also say you you're very unhappy about your weight gain. I hope you can deal with that by looking after your body, rather than any of the myriad useless products marketed to women who are feeling the way you are now. It sounds as if it will be quite an effort in your current social/family environment. But at least now you know that plenty of strangers think you have lovely lips that don't need a thing done to them.

You're really pretty. All I can think is the person saying this to you is jealous.

Don't get it done, honestly it's the one thing that seldom looks good and you really don't need it.

Isn't it awful that we've reached this point as a society that our lovely young people are so utterly, utterly obsessed with their looks?

I've just seen your full photo and your lips are in perfect proportion to the rest of your face. So I change my mind, I don't think you don't 'need' fillers.

Your lips are what everyone getting lip fillers wants to achieve!

I still stand by what I said. 0.5ml won't really change them much at all, so if you were curious, you could try 0.5ml
