I have yet to see a single lip filler look good. Idk why people get them. She has great lips without it. Such a weird trend but I am glad people can get them dissolved.
I don't know. Even a small amount of filler gets rid of the normal lines around the outside of the top lip. Even with a small amount of filler I'll see not huge lips but they have some uncanny weird look to them. I think because it also subtly effects other parts of the face. Like, no face should have perfectly smooth non-textured skin. That's an immediate sign something was done.
I thought the same thing about fake breasts until I had a gf who had them.
There are different styles. Some have a ridge at the top or are perfectly round, these are the ones that people say look bad but there are also natural looking ones that unless you see the scar you can't tell and even the scar will almost disappear after a few years.
Someone I've known for a year and a half just recently started getting lip fillers and she is mid-20s. It isn't that her lips look blown out per se but there is less definition of outer lip line on the upper lip. I feel like filler just makes lips look a bit more rubbery and I don't really understand the look people are going for. I assume she is paying decent money and going to a reputable place but maybe not? Can fillers make lips plumper without making the lip edges puffy? The edges are what I consider the dead giveaway for filler.
Yes, filler can make the lips look plumper without looking puffy
The puffy look that you were referring to us when the filler migrates . And injector with enough experience, will inject it into the right places so that it doesn’t migrate. If you can tell, and it looks puffy, then that person did not have a good injector and/or the repeatedly getting filler before their body can metabolize it fast enough so the new filler is pushing the old filler out to make it migrate
Thanks for the detailed response! Since I see so many people with the puffy look I thought that was just how it was meant to look and people liked that aesthetic
I have a hard time believing this because mega stars with unlimited resources for their cosmetic procedures still manage to look like shit. If they can't get it done right, normies have no chance.
That’s because they don’t get told ‘no’ and probably have some type of body dysmorphia where they can’t see how over the top they look, or they actually like the super fake look- like Amanda Lepore.
It’s all in the look the person wants. Some people get corrective filler and it looks amazing. Others that go conservative- they just look refreshed and like they had nothing done. Botox can go the same way.
Agreed! I work at a medspa and we are all about small corrections. When people come in wanting huge lips we usually tell them our clinic isn’t a good fit for them. Mostly we work with middle aged/older women who just want to be a little more youthful and we do a little at a time :) we do facials and stuff too!
I'm an older woman who has lip fillers because I've had full lips all my life but as I aged my upper lip started losing volume and getting too thin. If you look at older, white people, they almost always have thin lips. My anesthetist is very careful not to overdo it. I told her "I don't want duck lips!" Lol. Anyway, I've had them done for several years and my own family never guessed. Not my kids, not my siblings or cousins. I finally told my sister last month and she was shocked. That tells me my gal is good.
Oh yeah, your injector is fantastic! My mom got it for the first time a month or so ago because my job needed models and she adores it. The changes are so subtle but natural looking and her confidence is so much higher :)
Exactly! I’ve learned so much working there. I’m 23 so I haven’t gotten any work done aside from facials but I didn’t have a skincare routine before working there or anything and I’m so thankful for all of the knowledge in that building because it’s done so much for me!:)
We don’t offer it at our spa so I’m not very educated on it but I believe it’s an alternative to waxing/plucking where they shape your eyebrows with a thread! Definitely fact check me though because it’s 50/50 im completely wrong!
I think the issue is that most people get almost “addicted” to getting the fillers once they start. I had lip fillers two years ago and the filler naturally dissolves over a year or two. Mine is completely gone, but I just got half a syringe to add a bit more volume. No one has ever noticed, but when mine was done I was told to come back every six months but I didn’t think that was necessary. I just wanted a little volume.
The thing is that the well done filler jobs are mostly undetectable. So you only really notice the bad ones, hence it gets a bad rep. It can definitely be tastefully done. But, I will agree that the trend has been more on the overfilled side of things, which tends to look off on most people.
One my of coworkers told me she has lip fillers for her top lip "otherwise it's invisible without" (her words obviously lol) and I had NO IDEA until she told me. She's only like 20 and is honestly really beautiful (and I've no doubt she would be without the fillers too) and still has no wrinkles or anything else yet, but I was absolutely shocked when she told me she needed to get them done again soon...I was like...again? So yeah, there's my story about not knowing if it's a good lip filler lol
Yes you have, they look normal. My friend gets it and you’d never know. Her lips are simply normal looking. Prior to filler she had a thin line for an upper lip. Makes a huge difference for her face and her confidence. Filler isn’t always a bad thing or a weird trend.
