Self conscious about small lips but really hated lip filler

I have always had naturally really small lips, not necessarily thin but a tiny mouth. It's something I have always been really self conscious about and I have been put down over my small lips. Also in a time where so many people have huge lips, it just highlights the issue even more for me.

I had lipfiller twice and it made a little bit of a difference but I seem to metabolize fillers really quickly. Also even though my lips were numbed, I almost passed out with the pain both times.

Anyone also have small lips and find anything else that worked? I'll attach a photo of my lips

Hardly any white women have huge lips naturally, that's why Angelina Jolie etc are considered so beautiful. It's absolutely not the norm. Yours look bigger than average!

Really?! I have nice lips - large - no filler etc ever. Was used to being called blubber lips etc as a kid and now I have the last laugh.

I'm as Caucasian (white) as they go!

They look perfectly normal and not tiny. You have rosebud lips. They arent like big filled lips, no, but thats a very specific look and not something that everyone should be normalising.

I didn't say no white women, that's the point I'm making. I too was bullied for my lips at school as it wasn't common

Rosebud lips if I recall correctly are a traditional, quintessential English rose type of lip! Lovely shape!
