To think in ten years all these huge veneers and huge lips will be seriously dated?

[ToriMJ]

Eek, watching tv these days it's a sea of huge symmetrical bright white veneers.
So many of them look like they have got a teeth guard in when they are sucking on them.
Most of them just look really terrible and I dread to think what their long term teeth issues will be.
Add in the huge lips and filler faces and really it's a bit black mirror with all these faces looking the same. I know the lip filler can be dissolved but is that the same for all over the face? Will people be able to go back to how they were before once the filler blindness passes?
I've been watching old movies and the difference with natural teeth is quite something, it changes the natural shape of your face and everyone looks more individual .
Aibu or will it all look so dated in ten years and all these huge horsey veneers go out of fashion?
Or am I just getting old

How they afford anything else like food or rent etc.
It is another essential.

It's an area with cheap housing and I suppose they prioritise spending on what they look like over everything else, presumably they spend a high proportion of their income on these treatments.

You do know that HE is now SHE and called Jessica, and now looks far more scary after many cosmetic procedures, don’t you?

I’ve just looked up Molly Mae.

Wow she looks sooo much better (& younger!) without those awful fillers. I don’t keep up with her so I didn’t realise what she had done previously.

Blimey, yes so
Much better after

The love island women are a good example

I think it's fed by insecurity and instagram- the elusive insta lifestyle. Beautiful faces being manipulated.

I don't watch Love Island, so I'd guess that these women are younger than 40?

Are you sure this isn’t Drag Race?

Agree it looks just awful and will date terribly. Sharpie eyebrows, gigantic lips stretched to the point there are no lines or texture on them, huge bleached teeth and untrimmed double thickness lashes. Then add in the weird dead hair extensions (poker straight, middle parting, greyish balayage with black roots) and generous coating of fake tan, tattoos all over the place. Don't forget those mockit nails - reservoir of crud and germs, bleurgh!

It does seem skewed towards having nicely filtered and posed SM posts, making the person look impossibly sculpted and beautiful a la Kardshian but sadly looks horrible and harsh when moving around in broad daylight.

Never mind, after the fillers dissolve, the hair extensions have left baldy bits on traumatised scalps and gums have receded from the tombstone teeth they'll still have the lovely pics.

Because the women in question didn’t ask for your unnecessary, judgemental quips.

And why are you so obsessed with class? Does it matter so much to you if someone LOOKS like they have lots or nothing in the bank?

I want my daughter to grow up with good self esteem and happy in her own skin…not a judgemental cow, influenced how she should dress and look by other people who have nothing to do with her.

They are 24,24 and 25!!!

Wow. The one on the left looks much older than 24.

That's not correct. People who have fillers tend to have them years after treatment, and there are cases of people having more fillers than originally as it can absorb water from your body.

For veneers only a tiny little bit of enamel needs to be removed. Most people think they're having veneers are actually having crowns and the only thing you can do if it goes wrong is have them removed and get dentures.

@GettingStuffed So the rather scary photos of prepped natural teeth (that sometimes look like points) are actually for crowns, rather than veneers?

Or is that if it’s done badly?

Gosh @ToriMJ that's sad.

This is an open forum where people can express their opinions. The women I see with lip fillers etc are walking around, blissfully unaware of my opinions on their look. I don't stop them in the street and tell them how awful I think they look. Therefore my opinion doesn't hurt them in the slightest. Perhaps if they are on Mumsnet, reading that many people think they look dreadful with their overinflated lips might make them think twice, but I doubt it as they see their face every day in the mirror and presumably think they look good.
Class was mentioned because earlier in the thread it came into the discussion, and several posters had observed that this type of look was more prevalent in certain areas. Again this was part of the discussion on an open forum.
It really annoys me that some people seem to think that no one should ever make any negative comments about other people on this forum, which is ridiculous considering it's an anonymous public forum in which numerous subjects are discussed.
As a mother of a now adult daughter, I can absolutely guarantee that as your daughter grows up she will be influenced in how she should look by people who have nothing to do with her. She will see popstars, models, celebrities, people in the street, all of whom she doesn't know, and will want to wear clothes like them or have a hairstyle like them. You're being naive if you think she won't.

There’s a girl who lives near to me and she has had loads of filler over the years, it makes her head look massive aka pillow face. It’s because the fillers attract water and cause the skin to swell. A similar effect to that of Chrissy Teigen. It’s all a bit Roswell, really.

I would not slag anyone off. But women injecting stuff into their lips and cheeks is making life harder for my daughter and her peers. Thus I feel strongly about this
and wish it would just stop.

Apparently it's more in the UK because our treatments are cheaper. In many countries you cannot do anything to people's faces unless they're a medical professional with the correct training. Obviously it costs a lot more to go to a dermatologist than to Chantelle on the high street who's been on a course or two

Apparently its been found that filler fluid doesn't necessarily dissolve but migrates to other parts of the body and can leach into the lymph system. Dodgy stuff;

Just asked DP and he thought they were in their 40's

@ToriMJ

Nobody needs lipstick, it's an aesthetic choice. You're saying she doesn't need lipstick "because" hers are full and beautiful, so do you think that thin lips aren't beautiful and do need it? Nice.
