Do I tell my friend to ease off the fillers?

I have a friend who is attractive and always well-groomed. She has had Botox/fillers for quite a while but recently her lips have got noticeably larger and are now just a bit weird looking and noticeably fake Confused
Part of me thinks she has a mirror so can see what she looks like and is clearly happy with this more pronounced ridiculous look, but then I wonder if people who have regular work often gets to this point where they can't actually see that when they've gone past the natural enhancement stage and need reining in with some honest advice. If it make a difference she is a nurse and does Botox/fillers for clients privately on the side. Should I say something or keep quiet for the sake of our friendship?

Absolutely not your place to critique her face unless she asks you to. Different people have different aesthetics, don't force yours onto her.

I think it depends on your relationship. Do you normally tell each other if one of you gets a a bad haircut? Or buys an expensive outfit that doesn't suit? Or wears foundation that's the wrong shade for skin tone?

And do you trust each other's judgement?

If yes then she might take your silence as a sign that it looks ok.

But, if you don't normally say anything, then I would think this is probably not the time to start.

I would also add, can we please remember this thread next time someone insists no-one can tell they've had Botox / fillers / whatever?
It doesn't change my response to the op but in this situation, silence really does mean shit-all.
