Lip filler everywhere

[crumbaliba]

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

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

Nah. Don’t try and twist that 99% of people on this thread are coming from a place of worry and concern. Don’t be deliberately obtuse. It won’t work.

Give over. No one here is concerned about these women or the long-term effects. 🙄This thread is about judging other women and being snide.

Just look at the way people responded to that one lady above who had a bit of filler in her lips as part of reconstructing her face after an accident. Normally people would have responded with empathy, but not on this thread. People just jumped at the chance to tell her it looked unnatural, and it's obvious and everyone can tell. You should be ashamed of yourselves.

It goes without saying that all people can do to their body what they please.
Their body, their choice. People do not tell others that they, personally, look ugly.
General critique is different.
People can give social commentry on the trends: the effects on environment, economy, the attractiveness of the look, the effects on peers, medical services etc. etc.
Thinking people should express opinions on all sorts of things they see parading about. And museums are full of collections of such historical data and fashion statements.

My dentist is now doing fillers and botox, would you believe?

Nothing wrong with that - good for you, having the confidence to go to a good surgeon.

Not necessarily. I've had no work done to mine, and I'd say that my bottom lip is a bit fuller than the top.

You look pretty.

People do not tell others that they, personally, look ugly.

99% of this thread are women stating other women look unattractive, scary, like sex dolls etc. I’d say that equates to ugly. Would you?

Mine are similar to yours, I'd say, and I've had no work done. They've become a bit thinner with age.

As a society we have afforded changes that are here to stay.
White repaired teeth, hair dyes, make up like lipstick etc, sunscreen to stop freckles, braces on bent backs and crooked teeth.
It will be interesting to see whether the lip fillers will persist.
It's true that we are bonbarded by them as a beauty statement now.

Some young women would feel pressure to conform to that standard and some would see the look as truly enhancing.

@user1492757084 you still haven't answered my question about the sexual messages lip fillers are giving.

All these women, being disgusting to women who have had lip fillers. I bet you’ve all dyed your hair wear, wear mascara foundation, nails lashes tatoos
I don’t see a difference between that and lip fillers to be honest, some foundations look absolutely awful on people plastered on an orange and long false witchy nails with Tattoos on arms and legs which I don’t think looks attractive but I would never call somebody out for it
The point, I’m trying to make his we are entitled to do what we want with our bodies without having to be judged by others. I don’t like tattoos and foundation however, if it makes somebody feel better and more beautiful then why not.? I’ve had my lips done, and nobody could tell because I went to reputable Clinic renowned for natural results. However, if I had had them over done that would be my business.

Well, Daisy x5, I'm thinking that many beauty treatments are to make one appear sexually attractive to the opposite sex (or to whom one is attracted to). Nothing wrong with acknowledging that.
Do trends like these place pressure on young women to pay for and undergo treatments to conform to what is the popular view of 'sexually attractive'? Do women feel that their natural look is unattractive and unenticing to men? Do young men become programmed to expect large, full lips and do they look for them more? All worth considering in this conversation. They are not venom filled ponderings.
The quest for perfection sometimes has negative effect on one's self worth and promotes unachievable standards for young men and women.

🚨incorrect 🚨

Nothing wrong with acknowledging that.

But it is wrong to slate these women and refer to them as looking like sex dolls, scary, awful etc. You do think that’s wrong don’t you? Or are the degrading remarks all part of the social commentry on the trends you speak of upthread?

Exactly this ...Makes me think of engorged labial lips every time I see an overdone pouty pair!

I agree that some have posted in a slating way, however, I have not.

Many others, like me, have made generalised comments or have expressed their opinions on what they find worthwhile, attractive, or not, that do not personally attack anyone.

To comment on the new trend of lip plumping, it's affordability etc is not to disagree with any person's right to treat their own body how they wish.
It is not slating nor incorrect to acknowledge that many humans, like other creatures, like to appear attractive to their intended mates and that fact can motivate their use of beauty enhancement procedures. Other motivations could be peer pressure, skin health etc.

@FlissyPaps 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.

I have said that the enhanced large lips are not a look that I think is attractive. And I laugh at the large eye lashes sometimes and say "you're lucky you have good eyesight because you wouldn't even be able to blink if you wore glasses."

So yes, I do "have the balls" to tell her I don't like them, and I've said I just don't get why they've become so popular as I just can't see their attraction. She is still pretty with them, but I think she would be prettier without them.

@WearyAuldWumman - I'd trust a Dentist more than a beauty therapist. They are trained to apply injected medicines.

@user1492757084 I don't buy for one minute that that's what you were saying

It is always, always, always noticeable.

Cost of living crisis but can do Lip Filler, Nails, Hair extensions / Colouring etc etc. Really?

I think the word Poverty has grossly changed. Now kids are in poverty if they don't have a mobile phone or go to Majorca or Ibiza or Turkey in the summer holidays.
I think people need a reality check.

I know, I was thinking the same

The young women round here haven't got the memo yet. It seems more prevalent than ever.

Can I ask who this was?

Everyone's getting it because it's fashionable and women have FOMO - I see dreadful examples every day on the train, it makes me think of the Simpsons

It is everywhere and it is each to their own. The only people years ago that had lip jobs was porn stars. Thats where it comes from, sadly.
