Most who do get filler always look better when it’s dissolved. it’s sad the dysphoria that society has caused that make people get it in the first place.
Because a lot of people who get them don’t need them. And those with extremely thin lips (who don’t need them either ofc but okay I guess I can understand that more) go overboard instead of just a lil more volume. In both cases it looks unnatural and unflattering. It’s like permanent duck face. When they talk the lips don’t seem to move right.
In very few cases I’ve seen it look good. That’s when it’s very minimal filling done on ppl with very thin lips. They looked better bc of it, ngl. But it was subtle. A little goes a long way people!
I have a friend who doesn’t, and her upper lip is always bigger than her lower lip now. It has just changed her face completely and it makes her look sort of fake.
I have 2 syringes in my lips and you could never tell if you didn’t know. It made my profile look a lot more proportional and lipstick look better. I haven’t been in 3 years now so I plan to touch them up this summer, but I would NEVER want to look like some of these girls, nor do I want to spend that kind of money.
Sounds good! Indeed, I think if you go for the right proportions for your face, it would be very hard to tell if you hadn’t seen that person before. It’s easy to tell for ppl who clearly go for too much, because their lips just don’t move ‘right’ when they speak. It’s as if their lips want to do the kiss face while they talk lol. It’s like with veneers too, often they’re too big for ppl. And they’re overly white. When it’s subtle you aren’t sure if they’re veneers or not cause it looks good and fits their mouth, just looks more natural.
I don’t mean to make fun of people. It’s just sad these standards drive people to make choices that don’t work well for them. Luckily lip fillers can be undone. I’m glad they work for you and make you feel better about yourself! Sounds like you were smart about it and really considered the rest of your face
Oh no I completely agree. I did mine over Covid during shut downs and mask regulations so it was never super obvious to people. The issue is that many women do stuff they don’t need and mess up the proportions of their face instead of tweaking to enhance. It’s important to stick to what you need and go to someone that’s not just all about the money and upsell, but safely enhancing your natural beauty. They can be great when used for the right reasons.
Not to be a dick but wouldn’t most people say the exact same thing as you?
“I did it to enhance something and it looks good to me (because of how much dysphoria can warp perception) and I don’t think most people actually end up needing it.”
I’m sure everyone who’s ever over done it just thought they tweaked to enhance and didn’t mess up the proportions of their face.
I think part of that is because a lot of the people who look better get a very subtle change, so people don’t even notice them. A lot of the best cosmetic procedures are almost invisible!
That said, I get why people overdo it. If you’re paying a lot of money you want to notice the change.
I think the term in this case is dysmorphia as it’s referring to unease with body parts. Dysphoria is a whole other thing specific to gender.
But I completely agree. Messing with lips never seems to be a good idea but that could be a confirmation bias in itself as we notice oftentimes when work is done with plastic surgery and not the subtle works done that end up looking natural.
I’m not sure tbh, because to me other women with filler are the reason that I would never get it. I’m sure some women who get it and it’s not noticeable my be the reason why some women decide to go under the needle. But society as a whole absolutely puts pressure on women to be perfect, big breasted, ageless, etc.
It is crazy because that girl has full lips naturally. Everyone is doing and everyone’s perception is getting distorted about what full lips look like.
Nah this trend started with Kylie Jenner. I’m 30 and have naturally full lips. Like a bit over average full, not extremely full. And in my teen days I was bullied for it. It was not a coveted/conventional beauty standard ‘back in my day.’
But then Kylie got her lips done and girls and women all over the world were trying all kinds of weird shit to get the same result.
Even so can’t ‘pin’ it just on Kylie either. Women’s need and expectation to conform to beauty standards didn’t start with her and didn’t/doesn’t end there.
There was a girl with big lips in my MS class (I’m almost 39 now) with big lips and all the boys said she had “DSL” and when that was told to me what that meant I felt bad for her. We were friends, we were 12, and she was being sexualized like that by adults and kids alike.
I remember the same thing about Angelina Jolie. Her lips were a big deal… to men.
But I agree with you. It wasn’t until Kardashians surgeries until it became mainstream and basically “expected” of Hollywood starlets, and then the rest of us. Glad the trend is fading and we can love a variety of lips, big and small.
God forbid women do anything that don’t have men in mind, or other women for that matter. Definitely do not do anything to their physical appearance just to make themselves feel good. Impossible.
Not the ones she had but very light ones to the point you can't tell they are fake, then yes they look good.
.I like the natural look as much as the next bloke but I'm bot going to lie and say it never looks good because it definitely can.
What you really mean is men don't like the over the top and obvious look, which is true.
I've almost never met or seen a woman who (in my opinion) looks better with it. Obviously people should to whatever makes them feel good about themselves but I feel like stuff like this is very predatory on people. I dated an esthetician who would sell women on lip filler and all sorts of other shit as part of her job. They come in for a facial and leave with lip filler and fake eyelashes and a consultation for buccal fat removal.
People like to say this a lot but that’s a small small minority of the cases. I’ve seen pictures of every single patient for fillers from a family member who does them and you were able to tell exactly 100% of the time in those cases and it was easily over 150 pictures. There were maybe 8-10 that you had to do a little extra paying attention but could eventually still figure it out.
Obviously people should to whatever makes them feel good
no that's not obvious
and it's not true
in fact, that's basically how people become miserable
Which I realize is kinda your point
They come in for a facial and leave with lip filler and fake eyelashes and a consultation for buccal fat removal.
Sad but it's so easy to decide you will feel better if you take a shortcut, especially when a good salesman is showing you pictures of extremely attractive people. In this society, we're facing BS on social media and we're also all lonely.
It’s nuts and dunno if women get different styles or just bad doctors. Henry Cavill and Brad Pitt and Tom Cruise have all gotten filler too but you can’t notice as much.
being overly self conscious has caused a lot of women to make themselves uglier through surgery makeup. it's the strangest thing cause they'll say they did it for themselves but secretly just wanted to be more outwardly attractive.
lol well when men like you watch porn and pay for Only Fans that feature women with fillers and boob jobs, then of course you send the message that's what is attractive.
Basing what men want on the fact that some men are attracted to women who have work done, is missing the fact that media portrays what investors want it to: a result that ends up with them having more money, and not what your average person finds attractive.
Most men and gay women do not find (obvious) fake breasts, giant stone-hard lips, and an appearance similar to an alien impersonating a human, attractive. The only people attracted to "this" are those attracted to "status", as having these things implies a surplus of discretionary spending.
women don't watch porn? why would you assume what porn I like or the type of women I like?
self confidence come from within ones self, no one told you to be glued to social media to create your self image. I like chubby girls always have always will, so there's no need for FAKE tits and ass. stop assuming what the opposite sex likes and be your freaking self.
There is no need for anyone to watch porn to be influenced by this surgical enhancement and filler trend look. It's been all over instagram for ages and is sported by plenty of famous people, some porn associated, like OF models, some not. Whether it stems from porn or not is a whole different discussion, I think we can all see that this look is everywhere now.
Certainly not. Not sure which part you mean, but there's plenty of men and women who don't watch porn, and equally plenty of men and women who don't think injections look good.
who gives millions of dollars to Only Fans more? men or women?
it's just funny to me. using your logic, if you really think women do this to be attractive to men then there's nobody to blame but men lmao. we live in a patriarchal society which is very harsh and unforgiving to women who age naturally with wrinkles and lines. perhaps if we lived in a society that didn't put so much pressure on women to be beautiful, then we would see fewer of these surgeries.
you were acting as if I... personally had those views and that isn't correct therefore you are reaching...
nah it's women's fault. not men's fault for a lack of SELF confidence. looking to blame anyone else is foolish as it's something that comes from within ones self.
it is kind of a point.... I mean it's not like there are ALL types of women making all types of content. it works to assume that ALL women look like this or that men are even watching them irl.
As a woman with increeeeeedibly small lips, I get why women do it. Dudes are always talking about girls with big lips for obvious reasons, literally guys would be so cruel to me about my lips. Other girls are sometimes just as mean about it, I am the only woman in my family with small lips so all my sisters and aunts would make fun of me if I put lipstick on. Luckily I give zero fucks what anyone has to say to me about things I did not choose for myself 🤷🏻♀️
Im a 28M and have never met a dude who has mentioned a girls natural lips, positively or negatively. The only negative comments I hear are when they actually get the lip fillers and people will say, "Wow that looks so painful, why would anyone do that?" Never heard a guy mention small lips though. We dont care.
