Lip filler everywhere

[crumbaliba]

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

Yes!

I blame porn. Women are being encouraged to look like human sex dolls.

Even filler that isn’t noticeable in photos tends to be noticeable in real life. Filled lips have a rigidity or slight rubbery look as they move, and the skin lacks the natural lines and wrinkles that everyone has.

@Birdcar you need to read that posters other posts.

Really good point! And how do you avoid other signs of aging? Hands? Neck?

Thank you for being one of the ‘normal’ commenters on here with sense. I cannot believe how vile and degrading people are being about other people’s appearances. What someone else does with their own body doesn’t impact them. I will never understand people who try to knock other people down, does it make them feel better about themselves? Just let people live how they want to live when it’s not affecting them in any way.

Often it is very noticeable and looks odd, however it does depend how much is injected. Some people want the rubberised look and others just want to replace volume lost with age.
I have to say I find it hard to not be sad when I see 20 yr olds doing it and can only assume it stems from huge insecurities and men who are clearly keen to date women who look that way, which makes those who don't do it feel less attractive. Maybe we could focus on that rather than name calling.

You sound pretty fucking grim.

If you look at some of the pics you can even see where the needle went in. It reminds me of a bee sting

I think the biggest issue is that it's unregulated. Everyone and their aunt is now set up to do injectables when in reality they don't have the medical expertise and experience required to do it safely and proportionately. It's grim.

I think they look awful too. Such a shame that beautiful women are doing this to their faces. Just hoping the trend phases out before my dd gets to an age where she could potientally be influenced to get them done.
Embrace what you have is my motto!

Whenever it happens, it’ll be a hell of a shock, to suddenly age 20+ years in a few days without fillers/Botox!!

I don't think they make that much difference, personally 😀 Frozen foreheads, with tell tale orange peel texture, and a gallon of cheek filler, giving the chipmunk appearance, can often have the opposite effect IMO. I think they can make a subtle, slight difference if done well.

Jesus there are some nasty women people on this thread. The dick in gob comment is particularly vile as I assume is the poster that said it, based on that comment.

Who cares who has what done. It doesn't affect you at all. Women putting other women down is never a good look and I guarantee you do things that others think are weird.

Can we not just let people do what they want with their own faces?

Didn’t we already have one of these women bashing threads recently? So boring

Even filler that isn’t noticeable in photos tends to be noticeable in real life

This. The 'good jobs' that look fine in pics still look awful on the person when they're talking because their mouths just look odd and misshapen in movement. The ones that are already overdone and appear so in photos - in RL they look like the woman has some unfortunate facial deformity and I find it hard not to stare.

Truly well done ones are rare nowadays. And they're the ones you pay £££ for, not the £50 jobs from the woman who rents the room above the local hairdressers.

It's not misogynistic to point put that 95% of the time fillers make the recipient look worse and often they make the recipient look flat out ridiculous.

so there’s no wider conversation about the wider impact or dodgy practitioners?

I don’t judge how people look individually per se I question the practitioners who keep putting filler into peoples faces when they probably shouldn’t. A lot of women end up having to have it dissolved, surgically removed or end up with lumpy areas with poor techniques because it’s very hard to see your own face objectively. You literally become blind to what your own face has become. Other people looking at you objectively and thinking ‘ok this is now looking unnatural or badly done’ might come across as hurtful but I would hope any of my friends and family would tell me honestly and not let me blindly continue filling up my face with ml’s of filler that I don’t need and make me look strange and stretched.

Human brains are wired to notice things that don’t look right - this is why deep fakes are so unnerving as our brains are usually good at spotting things that look unusual. It’s ok for humans to say they don’t want to accept things that look odd or unusual as being completely normal and personal choice, especially when we may have daughters who we worry might follow trend and become blind to their own face in pursuit of a look they may never really achieve. We also are starting to know now that filler does NOT naturally dissolve on its own and face scans show it’s still in your face for years afterwards

Even Kylie Jenner one of the richest women in the world had a ‘bad filler’ look for a while. Spending money doesn’t make you immune. It’s the amount people have injected that’s the issue here. There is a distortion of appearance that is concerning

I wonder if the erasure of the lines and creases on the lip is part of the point, in the same way that the ideal is no visible pores or peach fuzz?

I do think the overall "looks" you see on women these days is creepy, erasing the skin's texture, contouring on non-existent definition etc. Some of them look like beautiful dolls rather than beautiful people.

No. If people want to have whatever put in their face it's up to them to research it and take some sort of accountability if it all goes wrong

You can definitely make arguments about damaging wider impact (although quite stupid to do this without also considering the initial cause of women getting filler in the first place IMO) and the regulation problem is a huge one - but people putting women down saying they look like blow up dolls, BJ lips etc are not concerned about any of those things and just relish the opportunity to take a pop at other women. Gross internalised misogyny.

Doesn't work in rl though does it?

Society has a responsibility to protect the stupid from themselves. It's needed, for lots of reasons.

I’m absolutely shocked to learn that anyone can set up shop and offer these injections, absolute lunacy.
In Australia and the US it is highly regulated and you have to be a doctor or nurse to inject, you need to have done extra training in cosmetic injections and you need to have a doctor on board to provide prescriptions. The sooner this happens here the better.

I don't think saying things like "look like they want a dick in their gob" is really out of concern for wider impact or dodgy practitioners.

Yes it's absolute madness that it's such an unregulated industry. I was reading about nose filler (nonsurgical rhinoplasty that people get to disguise bumps in their nose) and the terrifying things that can happen if it's injected into the wrong spot. Necrosis of the nose. (don't look that one up on google images).
