Lip filler

Is it possible to get a really subtle look? I have a small moth and thin lips. It looks awful and as I age it’s looking worse. I really don’t want something obvious or a duck lip. Has anyone successfully had a subtle amount of lip filler that looks really natural?

Sorry I don’t have much knowledge but my sis got it done, her top lip didn’t look any bigger it just stuck out and looked strange

I have small lips...i had one ml of filler...it looks very natural...most people can't even see ive had it done. In fact I wish id had a little more. The lady who did it told me that the duck lips look takes a while of over doing it!

You can absolutely have a subtle look. Start small!

This is what i've noticed about people who gave had it done in a 'subtle' way. Their lips don't look big or obviously pouty but sideways on they look weird.

Thanks. It’s the side profile issue that concerns me.

Kate Middleton has thin lips but nobody seems to notice, are you sure it’s as bad as you say?

The more you have the more it sticks out. The massive lips you see are a ml on top of ml. Ask me how I knowBlush
start small and Google the different techniques. You have russian lips that are big and flat. You can also just have your border lines filled. This give definition but no volume.

Dont just go and ask for filler. Find someone that offers a range of techniques so you can get what right for your lip shape. And someone that let's you do half a ml and then at a two week review the rest. So you can decide if you want more
Swelling lasts at least 2 weeks so if you can have a bit more time between reviews. Even better. You will probably have to buy a ml. But if it goes to waste. So be it. Better then hating your lips. To be honest though. 1 ml is not a lot when its your first time. But you need someone who understands what you want.

I notice this every time I see her, especially when she smiles very widely.
I wish she would be better at lining her lips and use lip stick. Just a small effort like that and she would look amazing as she has such a pretty face and perfect teeth.
It is getting worse as she gets older, like all of us!
I’ve read that she does her own make up so maybe no one around to advise.
She could blend her eye shadow a little more, too.

@NewGirlInTownwhat I meant is people still find her attractive.

I think this trend is dying thank god and ive been seeing a lot of reels where the creators actually have noticeably narrow lips, so your lip shape may start trending soon
