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

I think a botox lip flip tends to look much more natural than filler because it doesn't skew the vermillion border.

I think filler in a thin face is much more noticeable which may be why it's more noticeable in those 40+ because our face narrows as we get older.

Even going to someone really expensive doesn't help- some of the most obvious filler I've seen has been in Aspen on locals...

Fillers look awful regardless of age.

One of our babysitters did this and I couldn’t understand it. She’s a beautiful young woman and now has the obvious trout pout.

I'm not a fan of lip fillers or any fillers. And I love to get botox and laser treatments.

I've analyzed so many before and after photos of lip filler and I'm convinced it makes their faces look fatter. It's just never more attractive. And when you use too much, you enter duck territory.

Lip filler always looks off. Like you're forcing a jigsaw puzzle piece in a place that doesn't fit.

And no, there is no "natural" looking lip filler. It never fits the subtle surrounding facial features, like naturally full lips do.

My 14 yo commented on a neighbor at 4th of July- asking why she suddenly looked strangely plastic. It’s unnerving I agree.

There’s a mom in our neighborhood who did the same thing. She was so pretty before, now she looks odd. I can’t help but wonder what these women will look like when they’re older and the fillers still there but gravity plays a role.

I’ve seen enough prominent Republican women to be scared off lip filler forever.

I got fillers in my cheekbone area a few times 5-10 years ago. I had a lump in my upper lip my dentist was concerned about and had to have oral surgery to have it removed. The lab report showed it was filler that had migrated down.
