Lip filler on 40+

[Anonymous]

There's no such thing as "natural looking" lip filler. Just because you don't have fish pout, doesn't mean it looks natural.

It always ends up looking mismatched with the rest of your face.

My derm who does it also does lip filler on some of her patients and it’s undetectable. She makes their lips look like they did in high school.

I really think it’s always noticeable. But regardless, where does all that filler eventually go?

The hyperdilute radius treatment is subtle, great for people like me who have “runner's face," and also for those with "Ozempic face." It’s a biostimulator, helping your body produce its own collagen and elastin. Other than some initial swelling during the first 24 hours, the results are not noticeable right away.. After about a month, you will see improvements, with your skin appearing tighter and less hollow.

My husband is quite critical and can usually tell when someone has had a facelift, injections, or too much Botox, so I would definitely hear about it if my results looked unnatural. Surprisingly, he continues to comment on others but has no idea that I’ve had this treatment done. To be honest, I don't think he would mind, but since I’m spending my own money on it, I feel it's none of his business. The results are really that subtle; however, the before-and-after pictures show noticeable improvement.

Like Tanya in White Lotus.

Even the "natural" ones don't look better compared with before - her face looks bloated.

It does. It is one example. She looked young and beautiful already and didn't need a thing. Not a relevant comparison point for a Caucasian woman in her 40s or 50s who is looks older than her biological age due to loss of collagen and elasticity.

Where did you have it done?

The reason the face looks bloated is that her after photo is zoomed in more than the before, and thus her face in the after looks bigger. Her lips look nice and natural to me.
I’ve also had lip filler along with some very subtle fillers to my cheeks after a 20+ lb weight loss. Most of my friends and family have commented that I looked refreshed but couldn’t figure out what it was exactly.

OP, where did your friend get her lip fillers done ? There are plenty of medical spas right now that hire nurses who took a weekend class in injectables to perform these procedures. They give fillers a bad rep when the problem is the provider injecting the filler.

Please go to a dermatologist or plastic surgeon for your injectables.

Just don't. Fillers always go wrong and look bad. Stop deluding yourself.
