Lip filler

44 replies

Tiredofthis888 · 01/07/2024 13:42

I had a little bit of lip filler a few months ago- I genuinely don’t even think it’s noticeable. I used my own money and told DH in advance. He keeps making sly comments and pretty much laughed in my face when I had them done. I thought it was just the swelling but then he made comments last week about them too. Opinions? I’ve attached a photo. I genuinely think there’s the tiniest difference and it’s really shit of him to keep making sly comments. I kept it from the kids but then one of them asked after the comments he made last week.

I’m sorry but regardless of whether the fillers are good or not, your dh is a pig.
Ask yourself, which loving partner mocks and ridicules their spouse like that?

Mapsosskak · 01/07/2024 13:46

They look great, he’s being spiteful. I have lip filler as well and it’s just subtle just like yours is.

is he often like this when you want to do things for yourself ?

Tiredofthis888 · 01/07/2024 13:50

We’re in a bad place at the moment but I had them done before we were. He made a comment about a girl out in public who clearly had a lot of filler and said I was on par with her and that’s what I want to look like. I said my dad hasn’t even noticed and he laughed and said because I’ve told him not to mention it- complete lies. If my dad knew he would say something!

Well I don't think lip filler is necessary or improves looks BUT I would never say so to anyone and your DH is being really nasty and unpleasant.

Billyandharry · 01/07/2024 14:38

The whole lip filler thing is, to me, part of our misogynistic porn star culture- i.e just awful. Makes me sad to see it. Moreover they're your lips/money so up to you. Your husband sounds like a spiteful d*ck though OP but you probably know that already.

retinolalcohol · 01/07/2024 14:39

You look fab!

I think some people just get on their high horse about cosmetic procedures - they think they're some sort of high being for not being interested. Members of my family have the same vitriol. They reckon they can 'always tell' and everyone always 'looks ridiculous' which is funny given that I've had them and not a single one of them has noticed Grin

Ignore him. He's being a dick, and it's your face!

Ladyoftheapple · 01/07/2024 14:43

They look so natural. How much did you get put into them? As this is a fab result. You would know, honestly.

I'm tempted myself now just for a little boost like this ☺️

OrlandointheWilderness · 01/07/2024 14:46

I'll be completely upfront here - I hate lip filler. However, yours is actually lovely and I think your DH is a massive bellend!

YouCanRingMyBellingham · 01/07/2024 14:50

Lip fillers are completely unnecessary imo and look anything but natural. I wouldn't call it a subtle difference as it's obvious what has been done. That said, your DH is also unnecessary and a dick.

Iwantacupoftea · 01/07/2024 14:53

OK an alternative view - maybe he fancies/loves you as you are. Perhaps getting lip filler is pressing buttons in him about you wanting to be sexually attractive to other men - especially if you and he are going through a rocky patch. The way he is going about it is wrong but maybe he is feeling insecure. Why are you getting the filler done? Why do women want bigger lips? It's highly sexualised and l feel it is another case of women feeling they need to look a certain way on order to be attractive. I have thin lips and hate the implication that somehow l am less attractive/less sexy than a woman with full lips. It's all a load of shite really

sunflowrsngunpowdr · 01/07/2024 14:54

What had he actually said? Or is this an excuse for you to post your before and after photos?

MoonWoman69 · 01/07/2024 15:00

I think personally lip fillers look awful, but that's only my opinion. They usually look bad enough from the front, but it's the side on "ski slope" look that's ridiculous! If yours don't do that, then they look pretty natural to me.
Have you actually asked him what his problem with them is?!
I have to say, there was actually nothing wrong with your lips before the procedure. But your money, your choice 🤷🏼‍♀️

OP I am a filler fan, been having them for at least 6 years now and probably had about 8ml over that time.

They look lovely and very natural! Ignore your ‘H- he hasn’t got a clue!

What I will say is the first time your body will reject them quickly. What is injected is a natural substance in your body but not in your lips so it will ‘kick it out’ quickly. Don’t feel like it didn’t work if they go back to normal quickly! You do have to have a few sessions before it ‘sticks’. I think I had 3 in the first year, now it’s been about 18 months and they don’t need a top up still!

willowtolive · 01/07/2024 15:10

They look nice. He's being a dick.

Bowling4TomatoSoup · 01/07/2024 15:19

One lip filler girly to another, they look really good.

Katiesaidthat · 01/07/2024 15:32

I´m not a lip filler fan, but I must say yours look good. You started off with the same problem I have, thin top lip, fuller bottom one. Now look more equal. Good on you. Your husband is being an idiot.

Otterhound · 01/07/2024 15:41

He is being a dick but also depends how much he hates the look. Personally I think your lips look nicer without the filler but equally they dont look like some kind of homage to a blow up doll either!

I had these done in March. I’m happy with them. I want other peoples opinions on how my husband reacted to see if I can see it from his point of view

I would absolutely hate it if my DH got any kind of cosmetic enhancement and it would change the way I felt about him, especially filler and Botox. I would probably make one comment and then shut up though, not go on about it.

OhWhenWillSummerArrive · 01/07/2024 16:15

Sorry, I think it does look a bit trout pout.

Regardless of whether he thinks it looks good or not, he is being really mean to you. Why? Is he usually like this? I think if this was me, my DH would be gentle about it and maybe show a bit of concern that I felt I had to change myself. He wouldn’t take the pissout of me, especially not in front of our children.

He’s being a nasty, immature idiot.

BobbyBiscuits · 01/07/2024 16:22

I personally wouldn't go for fillers but yours looks good and natural tbh. He shouldn't be so rude. It can't be BC he thinks it looks crap, is he just tight and worried you'll spend fortunes on it?

Lentilweaver · 01/07/2024 16:23

For me, it wouldn;t be whether my Dh looked good or not. He would probably look better. I am opposed to enhancements because I think it sets a bad example to our already vain DC!
