Lip filler everywhere

[crumbaliba]

Is it just becoming the norm? How is everyone affording it in a cost of living crisis?

Duck lips. They look absolutely ridiculous.

@suntannedsnowballs your lips (the bottom one anyway,) looks very filled. Doesn't look natural. Doesn't look awful, but doesn't look natural.

Agree OP, all these young lasses filling their face and lips with so much crap, is so sad. As has been said, many young women looked better before.

I saw a pregnant woman recently with obvious fillers. I was thinking of the disconnect between not drinking a glass of wine during pregnancy to protect the baby, but also injecting your body with shit.

Yup. It's always obvious, whatever people like to think. So many Hollywood stars where you can spot it a mile off, even though they're probably paying a fortune to the best cosmetic surgeons. It distorts how your mouth moves, and looks particularly unnatural in profile.

I’m watching some old TV currently (mid 80s, not ancient). The actors all look so natural, even with all the makeup they must have had at the time.

The natural colour fades and the lips start to resemble lumpy old pillows or frog spawn.
As a dentist we get a really close up view of filled lips. They also feel weird. A bit like a big blister.
We don’t really know what the longterm out comes are but I do know that a lot of dentists who used to do lip fillers have stopped because they are worried about litigation in the future. Something most beauticians don’t worry about, they struggle with the concept of indemnity insurance. They assume that their normal business insurance will cover them. They can take out indemnity insurance but it’s likely that the insurers will not cover anywhere near what they really need.

Your lips look lovely in this photo. If I saw this picture I would not know if you hadn't told us.

I happened upon an episode of Married at First Sight yesterday and jeez… The faces looked - well 🥺.

Of course, what people choose to do with themselves is their business, so I’ll keep my eyes covered and my mind otherwise occupied 🤦🏾‍♀️.

The problem is, lip filler that looks nice is subtle (same as botox etc), so you wouldn't be able to tell.

You can only really notice the bad fillers. Some people look horrendous, and the people who injected the filler should be struck off, quite frankly.

Just stop staring at people's lips (unless you need to lip read) and you'll be fine

Exactly this. Filled lips never look natural, no matter how much people try to convince themselves that they do. Also, someone always comes on to these threads and says 'well I have lip fillers and MINE look natural!' and they post a picture, and it's like 'errrrrr, nope! Actually they don't...' 😆

There are no lines or ridges in the filled lips.
Remind me of sausages.
They look bloated, and in some cases, sore.

I think 'victim', when i see these over filled lips.

There was a young woman on the tube with some of the wurst (ha!) I've seen.
I felt sorry for her.
Why do that to yourself.

I guess we have had this discussion about false breasts too.
And false buttocks.
False nails.
False lashes.

A parody of femininity.

Naturally full lips aren't the same top and bottom
My upper lip is thinner than my top. But then I've been told on here I have obvious lumpy lip filler before so

They can look nice and subtle but most cases, people dont know when to stop and start to look terrible. Sausage lips 🤦🏻‍♀️

Humans are expert at sitting fake and slightly off appearance. It’s a horrible flaw/ genetic advantage.

I completely judge anyone who has had this done for non-reconstructive reasons. I’d think you were weak, a bit vapid, and appearance- obsessed. I know many regular folk have it done but northern me just can’t shake off the disdain

I don’t care what people do with their own bodies, but my issue is why they feel the need to have it done in the first place. All these cosmetic procedures are becoming so normalised it’s terrifying. So many people are comparing themselves and changing their appearance based on what they see on social media, when a majority of the time it’s photoshop anyway. I hope people become comfortable in the body they’re in and not feel pressured in today’s society.

*sorting, not sitting

It's a rebound. We all had to wear masks for so long - make up focused on the eyes. Now lips are back.

The worry is places I've seen advertised offering over 1ml for £60 or less. Or the aestheticians who will inject as much as people want, even if it's not necessary or might not be suitable for them, just for the money. I see that with ordinary filler too. So many people not trained properly too.

I see too many bad lips. Though there's also good, subtle work too.

I agree with the poster who said they're on the way out. Younger, trendier women are not going for that look at all and it's starting to feel dated. It may take a while to filter down but it is just a fashion (ditto massive eyebrows)

I find the lip flip more strange. That upturned lip looks so immediately fake; I don’t understand why people do it. I think it’s worse than filler.

A Facebook friend of mine put a picture of her and her teenage daughter online recently - I was appalled to see the daughter obviously had lip filler too. Completely unnecessary and unflattering.

Yeah my friend is always slobbering licking her lips and then there’s all white frothy bubbles at each side, gross!

It’s quite unusual to see a woman on tv without filled lips now.

No comment.
