Lip filler everywhere

[crumbaliba]

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

It’s a quick boost like a lipstick I guess

It doesn’t look nice when overdone though, so that fad will pass

The problem is, struck off from what exactly?

There are doctors who perform boxtox and filler procedures, who have done the medical degree (including some handy head & neck anatomy!)...you can report them to the GMC for botched/duck lips if you like...

However, there are many are many 'technicians' out there doing procedures, they likely have no regulatory body that you can complain to but I don't think you'd be getting them "struck off" anything

If I ever went the Botox route, I'd be getting a qualified doctor or experienced nurse to do it!

It's fashion, it'll pass like everything else does.

It might be cheap but add in brows, nails, tan, hair etc and it's a small fortune every month to get that 'look' which is on trend. I worry how many young women are missing out on the opportunity to build wealth while they're still at home with no dependents, because of all the money being frittered away on this stuff.

Your grandmother is beautiful!

My first thought on seeing this is always, "MY GOD, what stung you?"

I saw this meme on Facebook yesterday and had to laugh as it’s so true.

Yes they do look normal; however, you can't really tell until the lips are moving. Even the ones that look good in photos tend to look stiff and strange when talking.

There is a place in the world for good-quality lip fillers, but it's for corrective reasons like yours, or for people who are absolutely lipless.

By the way, you can have fat injected into your lips for a more permanent solution. It is also said to look more natural.

I think a lot of you are missing the fact that a lot of people WANT to look like they've had their lips filled. They aren't trying to look natural. It is just another form of body modification. It ranges from just-a-little to OTT. None of it is anyone else's business. Like boob jobs. Some people are trying to correct what they see as an imperfection. Other people want cartoon Jordan boobs. There is no need to be a cunt about anyone's looks. Especially if you don't know if it's a confidence thing or a personality thing.

@Alltheyearround I only came across this photo a few years ago. Her death was tragic and no one in the family talked about her and there were no photos of her around. I had no idea how beautiful she was. She was only 39 when she died.
Apparently because of our features ( my DSisters and I look very similar) we have memorable faces. I never knew whether to take that as a compliment or not.

I think that we should celebrate our individuality rather than strive to look like a perceived beauty standard. It’s quite obvious from history that this changes regularly.

It tickles me how much I get judged and mocked on a daily basis for wearing a lot of black eye make up and decently drawn on eyebrows (shaved them off at 17 and 17 years later they've never grown back, but my skill has them near identical).
I love my natural lips, but it's often those with the fish pout filler migration laughing at me in public and nudging their mates. I'd never laugh at them, though I personally think they need help with what they've done to their faces.
I often think that they must have been very pretty before but they've ruined themselves, it's sad really. I'll never stoop to a level of pointed mockery, it's in poor taste.

The pouty lips look is very unattractive coupled with the fact that every second woman with them licks their lips constantly as if they are sore. I can't see them without wincing.

They make thin lipped women look superbly attractive and natural.

What is grim is a bunch of bitter women slut shaming other women’s looks and how they choose to spend their money.

I refused to do the skinny eyebrow look in the 90s and am so grateful now as I have full eyebrows and a lot of my peers are having to do all sorts of nonsense to get decent looking eyebrows after plucking them away for a decade when younger.

I refuse to fuck with my lips with injections now. Although I might get some of the creams that naturally plump lips, but that is more lip care I think. I'm in my 50s and my lips have gone a bit thinner with age.

It is somewhat strange and hypocritical that painting black face is not respectful but pumping lips to look like African lips and dying hair to look like Swedes is okay.

It's always obvious and looks ghastly on the majority of people but you will always get someone on here post a photo themselves saying they don't think anyone can tell they've had it done.

It's usually obvious they have had it done and other posters then suck up saying she looks fabulous yet really she doesn't.

@FlissyPaps oh thank god. I was hoping and praying there was just one person here that felt the same as me. This thread and nearly every comment on it makes me feel sick.

Not sure I understand your post. It seems like you are agreeing with @howshouldibehave

I y honk only a couple of posters have been "slut shaming"? Thinking it looks awful is not the same as slut shaming!

I love my nieces dearly but a couple of them go overboard with the lip fillers and fake eye lashes.

I'm not slut shaming anyone. My concerns are migration and other problems where the lips are stretched and overfilled.

I think it's fine when done somewhere reputable and in tiny amounts. It's a fashion I don't like, when it's over-filled or badly done, but I would never be so rude as to let anyone know my feelings about it. Though some regulation is needed of the practitioners.

It’s vile isn’t it.

I can’t comprehend how people having lip fillers, or even false eyelashes can bring out such venom.

@FlissyPaps yes it is vile. This post was put up as an invitation for women to pile onto other women disguised as a query over the cost in a COL crisis. What a sorry, smug and judgmental crowd. The spite here is off the scale.

My slut shaming comment was referring to:

Shrieks “stick your dick in my gob” to me.. (This is the one I quoted.)

BJ lips

they want sexual attention.

make women look like sex dolls to me

Just vile and degrading comments from women who have nothing better to do with their time than slate other people’s appearances.

Even to admit you think it looks awful, what is that achieving? What are you gaining from this negativity? Does it make you feel better about yourself and your own appearance?

Have you got the balls to tell your dear nieces that their lips look awful? Because I bet you daren’t say anything remotely like that to their faces.

To not find something attractive is not venomous.

I see no comments here that are passionately hateful. Many are sympathetic and worried over long term affects. Others concerned as to the sexual messages that such trends can portray and some wondering about cost, pressure to conform with the treatments, shoddy opperaters etc.
It will go down with all fashion history and trends.

Think of the perms we used to see as beauty. Think of our battle with body hair, lead based skin whiteners of the 1800s, solar lamps causing skin cancer, breast inserts that migrated.

To comment on beauty practices is normal. It is ever changing, what women chase for beauty's sake - often doing so to please men.

Trout pouts have always looked stupid.
But then, so do false eyelashes.
