Can you tell I’ve had lip filler?

Basically what the subject asks!
I’ve had lip filler a few times over the last three years and I love the look. I’d like more done to go bigger but then sometimes I catch a glance of myself and think it looks really obvious.

I really want to go a bit bigger but I’m nervous. Can you tell I’ve had filler? Would I start to look weird with more?

Yep you’ve had filler.

PlaidCushionProductions · 12/10/2023 23:42

yes I can, it’s the side view that always looks daft with a pursed pout.

Fuckitydoodah · 12/10/2023 23:42

They look good and not obviously like filler. Often it's really obvious. You don't have that ridiculous trout pout. I really wouldn't go any bigger, I think you'd regret it.

seeusername · 12/10/2023 23:43

I can tell, yes. But you look very pretty. I wouldn’t go bigger.

LdnAnna · 12/10/2023 23:43

Maybe… but only because you’ve pointed it out. I think they look pretty natural.

Don’t go bigger, it’s definitely not needed. You look beautiful already!

Blahbie · 12/10/2023 23:27

Yes I can tell.

I have naturally big lips 👄 it's funny how features once mocked on ethnic people

Is now the new fad... oh well what do I know

Same, although I’m white and was bullied relentlessly as a child.

Twillow · 12/10/2023 23:46

Sorry but it's obvious to me.

IdoIdoIpoo · 12/10/2023 23:46

Yes basically

Viviennemary · 12/10/2023 23:47

Just a tiny bit on lower lip. But don't have any more. I wouldn't have thought anything unless you pointed it out.

StarlightLime · 12/10/2023 23:47

Yes. But you look great.

Crikeyalmighty · 12/10/2023 23:48

I could only tell if you have that kind of white puffed up line close up and sideways on - partly because mine look like that at 61 and with no help whatsoever - it's one of the few bits of me I still like!!

Please don't go bigger- it looks awful

ObsessedWithZach · 12/10/2023 23:48

Yes, it's that ledge/rim that pp have mentioned. Obviously it's your face but I think if you go bigger that will get worse, and the shadow above your top lip will increase which makes it look like people have a moustache.

Saggypants · 12/10/2023 23:49

I can tell, although they look nice.

Unfortunately what you don't get to see yourself is the side profile, and how they move (unnaturally) when you're talking or just pulling different expressions. That's where fillers are really obvious and sometime look pretty weird, I'd be more worried about if I were you, when thinking about having more.

PositanoBay · 12/10/2023 23:49

You can always tell if someone has lip filler. Their lips protrude and there is always a shadow like a tache on the top lip. I wouldn't recommend more filler

wannabetraveler · 12/10/2023 23:50

I couldn't tell - I think they look lovely! I wouldn't add any more though.

Wednesdaysotherchild · 12/10/2023 23:51

Yes I can tell, not a fan of that bee stung look but its just about ok - any bigger would edge into too much imho.

UncleHerbie · 12/10/2023 23:52

Sarvanga38 · 12/10/2023 23:09

It’s not usually how it looks from the front that’s the tip over in to ‘too much’ - how do they look from the side … ?

That’s exactly what I was going to say. Your lips look nice from the pic you’ve posted. Any bigger wouldn’t look natural on you

BigBillyButterBollocks · 12/10/2023 23:53

I want to be brutally honest :

I am not sure I would have noticed if I had not been looking for it. It looks nice 😉. I am slightly envious.

mrlistersgelfbride · 12/10/2023 23:54

Yes maybe, but they look very nice.
Leave your lips as they are now.

StarlightLime · 12/10/2023 23:55

Mydogisamentalist · 12/10/2023 23:11

Thanks everyone! What’s concerning me is that line on my right upper lip. It wasn’t there until the last time I had it done and while I don’t mind it right now, I would if it got bigger!

If I could guarantee the line wouldn’t get worse I’d go for another 0.5ml but that line is really putting me off!

Don't.

FannyFifer · 12/10/2023 23:55

I can always tell lip filler. The wee ridge above the top lip is always the giveaway.

LuluLemony · 12/10/2023 23:55

Yes I can tell, that's not to say they look bad, but I can tell it's filler.

Angrymum22 · 12/10/2023 23:55

Yes and yes the line will get bigger and deeper. Your lips are starting to look a bit lumpy too. Sorry I’m a dentist so have a professional. interest.
When you have fillers you see them in the mirror when they are still so your image of them is different to what everyone else sees. Filled lips are so much more noticeable when people talk. They also cause slight speech impediments because the filler alters the lip position when you make certain sounds. Our receptionist at work had over filled lips but has now had them dissolved. Her speech is much clearer now.
Finally because the inner lip is exposed to the air it dries out making you constantly lick your lips.
Sorry but I’ve seen some truly awful examples.
Despite the claim that they dissolve, longterm they will become lumpy and misshapen. They will also lighten in colour, I see one or two older ladies who now have the staining done because without it their lips are a slightly mottled version of their skin colour.

I have done a bit of a survey with my Dh and his friends and DS19 and his friends. Men really don’t like overfilled lips, like most things cosmetic they smile and nod to keep the peace.

Iloveshoes123 · 12/10/2023 23:57

Looks lovely now and I wouldn't have thought - she has lip filler to look at you but any more would make it obvious.

PyongyangKipperbang · 12/10/2023 23:59

Well I have had a close look and yes I can tell, but only because you asked. If you had just posted the photo to ask if this lip colour suited you, I wouldnt have clocked it, or if I saw you at work I wouldnt even notice, which is what you want.

Go any bigger and it would look very obvious though. I get a lot of women at work who frankly I could stick to a window. They look ridiculous, you dont! You look lovely and whoever did them has done a great job. Stick with what you have, they look really nice.
