Lip Fillers

365 replies

What the fuck are these young women doing to their lips?

Saw a girl in Lidl today who clearly had naturally thin lips. Had a huge fillet in her top lip. All it looks like is someone with a huge filler, not someone with lovely generous lips, see it all the time and it looks horrific.

What happens when they hit 40?

How much does it cost?

Why are we all injecting shit into our faces?

@thenavigator quite simply they overdo it

nearlythere12 · 25/12/2019 15:31

who's an example of a celeb who hasn't overdone it @Strongmummy?

Strongmummy · 25/12/2019 15:37

@strongmummy I’d pretty much guarantee that all celebs have has something. Someone mentioned Christy Turlington earlier. She looks good

nearlythere12 · 25/12/2019 15:57

Umm looking at Christy I don't think it's clear whether she has had filler or not. Her lips are definitely smaller than before. I have similar shaped lips, as in similar volume top & bottom & no real cupid's bow. They are like my mums & aunt and there's haven't "shrunk" that much with age.

Any other celebs with natural looking lip fillers?

Kate Middleton - subtle & classy re: any ‘work’ done.

beautifulstranger101 · 25/12/2019 16:11

Celebs with subtle lip fillers:

Jennifer Garner
Michelle Keegan
Blake Lively
Emily Blunt
Anna Faris
Jennifer Aniston

None of whom have a "trout pout", just very subtle enhancement.

nearlythere12 · 25/12/2019 16:11

I think you can tell Kate dabbles with botox & cheek filler personally.

nearlythere12 · 25/12/2019 16:15

@beautifulstranger101 I think all those people you listed are examples of those with lip fillers. I already said Jenifer Aniston was an example of not going overboard but you could see she had them. Anna F & Michelle Ks are pretty distracting on screen.

Maybe I'm not clear enough. Regardless of size are there any celeb with lip fillers who don't look like they have them?

beautifulstranger101 · 25/12/2019 16:19

I don't think any of those actresses look like they've had obvious lip fillers. If you are asking for lip fillers that are so subtle they can never be noticed then how on earth would be able to tell? lol

I think all of those actresses look beautiful and none of them look like they've gone "overboard" but I suspect whatever answer people give there will be some reason why "it doesnt count" because if you are anti lip filler then you are anti lip filler.

nearlythere12 · 25/12/2019 16:23

I'm not particularly anti lip filler & think sometimes it can enhance, Sienna Miller is a good example of that. However I just dispute that they ever look natural particularly in motion.

nearlythere12 · 25/12/2019 16:24

Although I would say that J Garner, Anna F & Michele K look much more obvious than some of the others listed.

sqirrelfriends · 25/12/2019 16:24

They can look really good IMO but some that I've seen have been awful. I worked with a girl who had what looked like a ducks beak.

jayde28 · 25/12/2019 16:24

I have had 1ml filler in my top lip only as it was thinner than my bottom. It's not very noticeable it just boosts volume slightly and no one has noticed except my mum.
I wouldn't ever get more but once
This dissolves I would get it again.
Echoing a PP it does come down to bad technicians and cheap work. The duck lip comes because the filler has been infected knto the wrong place such as the muscle rather than lip or too much is used. So many girls are now doing fillers from home and are unqualified

beautifulstranger101 · 25/12/2019 16:26

Its not always that easy to tell- someone posted a photo of their lips on this thread (or it might have been another lip filler thread) and got told "I can tell- your bottom lip looks lumpy from the filler" and it turned out she'd never had lip filler in her life so.....

Besides, its pretty obvious when certain hair dyes aren't "natural" and lashes "aren't natural" and someone wearing a lot of makeup isn't "natural" so I'm not quite sure why having absolutely imperceptible lip fillers is that important.

BitOfFun · 26/12/2019 17:10

It's completely normal to have a top lip thinner than the bottom lip.
