Husband is MASSIVELY pee’d off with me

I had lip filler done today but didn’t tell my husband as I know he hates it.
I pranked him a few years back by sticking my top lip up with face glue as an April Fool, and he went mad. At the time, I said I’d never have it done. I’ve never been confident about the way I look, I’ve just turned 48 and thought why not?

I’ve only had a small amount and they are quite swollen, they will settle down in a few days. But he says he can’t look at me and that I look like a clown. He’s been angry and shouty but now getting the silent treatment. We rarely have a cross word so today has been no fun.

Not sure what to do. Any advice please?

I’m no fan of lip filler and find it odd that you’d go ahead and do something you knew your DH would react to so negatively.

But of course, it’s your face and your choice. I can relate a little bit because I had some botox done secretly a year or so ago. My DH has always expressed a dislike of the frozen look (I don’t like it either!), but I just wanted to look less tired and was curious. He didn’t notice anything 😂 , not even ‘ooh you look rested’.

I mean I just look old, I guess. it seems the better option.

Nobody cares that much, least of all me.
I am 53.

Just because you don’t care what you look like doesn’t mean others don’t care.

You will be surprised at the amount of people who do care what you look like. Especially when you are going for a job.

I’ve just googled 0.5ml lip filler images and it looks pretty obvious to me, just saying. It totally changes not just the mouth but the shape of the face. I know some people with naturally plump lips and you can totally tell the difference; filler creates really odd, hard looking edges along the top lip.
Hopefully it’ll settle down op and your husband will recover!

SunflowerTed · 31/05/2025 23:12

You’re entitled to do what you like but you knew he would be majorly pissed off

Sure..But you asked very dramatically what women do when they don't look young and hot any more.

So I answered.

Obviously the one's that look fake look noticeable. The ones that look natural you wouldn’t be flagging up as fillers.

Give me an example then, which celeb has very natural looking lip filler?

Are you a bit slow?

Don’t you know that people do notice them, but are too polite to say anything?

No no I don’t because I haven’t got a single friend who wouldn’t comment. Nobody has. I had a facial injury from an accident. I now have my natural lip line back. No duck lips. Don’t knock it til you try it.

Why on earth would you do that? Sorry but I am team DH.

Yeah agree. My DH would.also be upset if I wrecked my face like this.

TENSsion · 31/05/2025 22:52

I notice many, many women who have this. I have never commented though.

Do you really think I’d tell them how awful their faces look?

The view we get from the side is a world away from the front on view you get in the mirror.

As I said in another post, there is not a chance my friends wouldn’t comment. I had a facial injury from an accident and now have my natural lip line back. No duck lips here at all. From any angle.

WetBandits · 31/05/2025 23:24

All the filler haters, you don’t think these look natural?

So you had it for reconstruction’. Bit different to those who do it for their lips to look bigger.

Show us from the side.

I would say just wait it out, it will most likely settle in a few days ( your appearance as much as his anger)and he will get over. Sounds to m that you have pretty strong marriage and this too shall pass. You can both talk it through together in few days.All the best❤️

Of course your friends wouldn’t comment! You had a facial injury.

I had it to even out. You need a good practitioner and you have to pay. I wouldn’t go to somebody on the high street. I am just tired of people making comments about women wanting to do something that makes them feel better about themselves. I couldn’t give a shit if anybody “noticed”. So what? My body, my money, my choice. I’ve got nobody to impress. I’m long term single by choice but I like my face to look nice and it does. I shall continue on 🤷🏻‍♀️

Wow, really?

I posted a set of natural, unaltered lips (my sister’s, with her permission) just to see who would say they could ‘tell’ the person had had fillers 🤣 thanks for falling for it and letting us know you are a liar 😁

Oh. I am not a liar. They just dont look natural. Sorry.
I am not one of the posters who said they can always tell. Clearly I can't.

They would. They really would. I had some damage from an accident that caused me angst and I wanted my lip line smoothed. So it has been. I don’t have bloody fat lips.

Clearly not ☺️ you just wanted to be rude to someone you thought you could bring down a peg or two, right?

TheFormidableMrsC · 31/05/2025 23:33

CharlotteRumpling · 31/05/2025 23:27

Bollocks. My daughter’s lips look exactly like this and she’s not had any filler at all. That is a really natural result.

So they think your injury magically disappeared or was your injury so unnoticeable that they can’t tell?
