Lip fillers!

[omgitcantbetrue]

Ok. Just got lip fillers. Yesterday. Are they as bad as I think they are. To me they look deformed! Covered bruises with lipstick....

.

Here is my before & after OP.... I love mine & I get them done every 18 months or so.

OP, they are bruised and swollen. It’s far too early to see the end result. It wasn’t until the 7th-9th day that I had my final result. At first they were swollen, lumpy, uneven and bruised.
Please don’t get obsessed at what they are looking like right now. If after a week and a bit you don’t like them, get them dissolved. How much did you have put in?
FWIW, I think they’ll look nice in a week, although without knowing what they looked like before it’s hard to tell.
It is concerning that you were able to be seen and injected so quickly though, and the fact you actually said you did it on a whim.

@Russellbrandshair Yikes! Polyfilla it is then!

@starbuckssuzie Yours do look good 👍

Ive been having fillers for 4.5 years now in my lips.
I've had Botox, cheek fillers, chin and jaw.

You can't tell for two weeks what they will look like!

If you have asymmetrical lips they will have put more in some bits of even it out. These areas will swell more obviously. Bruising is normal. Especially if I are due on your period, everything is more sensitive.

Starbucksuzie. They look fab!

Suzie's do like nice and natural! Op your don't look horrific, shame they're sore but hopefully that will go. Could've been a lot worse I think!

Suzie- you look great!

Thank you for the compliments

My DP who hates anything to do with fake face stuff was shocked when I admitted to having them done, as we met after I had them. I have 1 ml every 18 months & I always stress not to alter the natural shape of my lips & that I would just like them looking fuller as it's a natural part of ageing that your lips loose volume over time & mine lost a significant amount of volume due to natural ageing.

Op, they look absolutely fine, stop worrying. There are some vile comments on here.

The drive to push women into altering their appearance to please others and for in to what’s aesthetically ‘acceptable’ to society is vulgar and cruel and should not be encouraged in any way shape or form

If I were putting myself through it I would actually want to look better. In most cases people just look like they've had work done, not younger.

Cosmetic procedures should not be allowed except to cover up scarring, deal with breast surgery for cancer etc. Not just because someone thinks they look too frowny or have thin lips. Spend the money on a nice city break instead! You'll look just as good after a nice rest!

They look ok. Bruising is normal I've been told by friends who do it?

Spend the money on a nice city break instead! You'll look just as good after a nice rest!

Nope. You don’t get to tell me how to spend my money, sorry!
I’ll have it in my lips thanks. My money, my body.

I spend my money on nice city breaks and on my lips.

Mumsnet hate lip fillers for some reason.... if done right they can look lovely and noone would even notice. Swelling can sometimes take up to three weeks to settle. A good practitioner would fix them if uneven though.

Mine looked shocking for a couple of days, swollen, daft looking with bruising. When they calmed down I loved them! They are natural looking and not pouty.

Give it a couple of days

Someone upthread mentioned Kylie Jenner, have they seen her lips/face in action? Photos are deceptive & it's often when the face is in motion that fillers etc look odd.

Give it 48 - 72hrs for the swelling to go down / surely your Practitioner told you this ? Looks pretty ok to me as much as one can tell from a low res photo

Spend the money on a nice city break instead! You'll look just as good after a nice rest!

🤣🤣 nope, fillers will look better.

I don’t think any lip fillers I’ve ever seen look nice. They are always super obvious.

I’d have agreed until a colleague who used to smoke had them done and she looks great

Bengalcat. Yes she did. Not stopped me freaking out at my pout.

DH asked why I’d want to look like a porn star. Also couldn’t stop himself laughing at me today. I took it all in jest. Which I have to. It’s just not something you’d have thought I’d do, so I understand him feeling perplexed....

It will settle and then you’ll be ok - try not to punch DH .... porn star RUDE boy

Do mine look fake?
