If you've had your lips plumped ...

[Umy15r03lcha1]

.... Are you sending a subliminal message? If so, what's the message and who's it aimed at?

Thread is inspired by the recent sight of a young woman with a huge trout pout, her lips were so puffed up she couldn't talk normally.

Why do people do this?

Sometimes they are the same people.

Nobody walking down the street would know you had lip filler. These people saying you can tell are wild.

No one 'says' that.... it's just reality.

Have a look at people's mouths.

The lower lips are always slightly larger.

Well yes, it's anatomy.

Your lips look good. Wouldn't have known.

I'm referring to the Pete Burns look.

Do you realise or care how ridiculous it looks?

You would

Wikepedia says:

The style was popularized by hip-hop musicians in the 1990s.

It is often claimed the style originated from the United States prison system where belts are sometimes prohibited due to fear that they could be used as a makeshift weapon, and there can be a lack of appropriately sized clothing. As a result, their pants would sag.

Another, more controversial origin story, is that men who wanted to present themselves as sexually available to other men, sagged their pants to display their rear end, which later on started to inadvertently be perceived as a mark of having been incarcerated, and gave the wearer street cred.

Trust me they know, everyone does. Its very obvious.

Sorry but you can tell they have filler in, its obvious and jumps out.

I don’t trust you. Everybody doesn’t. It’s not very obvious at all.
Maybe you should trust me on this one.

No one is allowed to notice that lips have been done - it’s too personal and anyway the damage is done so it’s no point

if it’s impossible to tell then you wouldn’t have them done would you? If no one could see any difference?

Completely untrue. I didn’t have mine done to shout it from the rooftops. I did it to improve my smile, make me more confident and feel more attractive. All these people saying everyone knows and everyone who says they didn’t notice is lying are completely crackers. How does anyone know what ‘everyone’ is thinking or feeling about something ..it blows my mind it really does.

I really do not understand why anyone cares if someone else has filler/botox/whatever.

It cracks me up that both posters who have shared images of their done lips think they are not obvious.

Same

I think those who have lots of filler and big fake eyelashes etc are going for a different look than those who just want their lips to be a tiny bit bigger.
I think they know they look false, in the same way that people who bleach their hair very blonde yet have black roots showing kind of know it looks fake.
They don’t keep up with having their roots done, nor do they go for a dark, more natural looking blonde. I see people with obviously dyed and fake hair who also have very unnatural looking lips, botoxed faces, long elaborately painted nails, spider eyelashes and fake tan. This look is obviously fake looking and I assume the ones who look like this like it, and are not trying to convince anyone that this is how they were born.

I have realised that in loud environments I lip read. Lip filler means I can’t understand what people are saying. It doesn’t even need to be lots.

I don't think it's always about beauty because the women I see out and about with lips like that don't make any effort with any other aspect of their appearance.

When it is about beauty I think it's because it's impossible (without surgery or even with) to make yourself look like someone whose beauty is undefinable. But Instagram 'beauty' is more attainable in a way because women can copy the big lips, lashes, plump (weird) cheekbones, eyebrows.

Facial expressions make such a big difference to how beautiful someone is too. Someone objectively plain can look beautiful if they have a lovely smile. And so much communication is done through expression.

I think you are wrong, you can tell by the deformation around your mouth.
having said that, they are reasonably discreet.
OP is talking about seriously deformed lips.
My SIL has been gradually increasing her lip volume for years. Frankly its distracting when shes talking.
Its delusional.
I fail to see how its even vaguely attractive

It’s always the way on these threads! 👄

that's very interesting, tx.

looks good.

The people posting photos are just enbarrassing themselves.

It is when people move their mouths and talk you really get the uncanny valley effect. I saw clips of Victoria Beckham sepaking recently - she is a prime example. Her lips are not ridiculously overfilled. But they don't look natural and they are distracting when she talks. I refuse to believe she would not look better with her original lips.

Does anyone think Yungblud has had his lips done? I'm no expert but they look 'pillowy' and much bigger than when he was yung.
