YOU DO NOT RECOGNIZE GOOD FILLER. Yes! Filler can be done well. And when it is you don’t know you’re seeing it. I have filler in my temples and under my eyes. Those are areas that get hollow with age. The last time I did it everyone from my dentist to my neighbor asked if I’d come back from vacation, was using new skincare etc. I just looked less tired.

Lip filler is tricky but a good doctor or nurse injector will maintain the ratio of your upper and lower lips. My lower lip- and most women’s- is fuller than my upper lip. I don’t get a bunch of filler to my upper lip only, that looks stupid. I maintain a slightly fuller lower lip

But if your filler is so good, why are so many people recognizing it, by your own account? I feel like this should be stunningly obvious to people who use filler but it seems like it's not.

When people are seeing the change, asking about vacation/new skincare- this is the polite version of them checking to see how self-aware you are about how different you look. They are assuming because you changed your face so much, you must want compliments, so they are being kind and giving you what it seems like you want.

Really? For me it is never a back handed compliment when I say someone looks good/refreshed/etc. I mean it honestly. You sound like a mean girl. Not everyone thinks like this.

No, they think it looks good/skilled, which makes it less obvious/undetectable.

Explain the difference between good blonde highlights/botox v. lip filler/implants.

No one actually thinks Mother Nature makes people’s hair the way it does after being highlighted, even good highlights. Do you really believe that all these middle woman naturally have perfectly placed blonde streaks?
