Pumped up lips

They look hideous.

I met someone at work a while back, and it looked as if someone had rolled plasticine into a worm, then stuck it under the skin of her lips.
I was fascinated and had to stop myself from staring.

It’s hardly the latest fashion In fact a lot of young women are having the fillers removed as they’re considered passé.

Isn't it strange how people will put all sorts of chemicals into their lips, faces, buttocks etc, but refuse to have a scientifically researched vaccine to save a life.

And yes, I agree it looks very unflattering, unnatural and off-putting when you are trying to have a conversation with them. I guess it is all part of the "pouting" photos trend.

It’s not the latest fashion it’s been happening for years and years
A young friend who I hadn’t seen for a long time crossed my path last year and we stopped to talk, she was alway the prettiest one in her group of friends but she’d had her lips done and they were uneven I had the hardest job not to look at it my eyes kept wandering to this uneven lip
It’s a very silly trend and I m surprised it hasn’t had its day by now

Felicity Kendal seems keen on Botox.......

Yuck!
Doesn't it all go back to the likes of Marlene Dietrich and Marilyn? 1930s?
Very passé or maybe having a second innings?

Horrible, they look like rolls of lino, besides them all looking the same. Clones, no individuality.

Yes awful! Felicity Kendall used to be so pretty.

Did anyone see Cher on tv saving the elephants. My goodness, her face never moved,

Pneumatic lips are comical. And why the fashion for jet black eyebrows, often tattooed on? It makes them look like Angry Birds.

What amazes me is how perfectly nice looking women ruin their looks and actually make themselves look older by having such unnecessary work done.

Yes Wildswan, I think I remember reading someone who had had umpteen facial procedures, reject the idea of having a vaccine. Strange logic, or lack of logic!

The pressure on women to look a certain way is horrendous. I think most of those surgeons are doing the opposite of do no harm.

I’m obviously behind the times calling it the ‘latest fashion’?

Unfortunately a lot of these procedures are performed to please men.

They always remind me of a cod fish.

How can they be fooled into thinking it makes them look more attractive? I don't even like looking at them, great big fat slug lips. Ugh!

There are some huge mental issues in those who want to change their looks in some way. Questions into why should be first and foremost in finding a solution other than surgery or the like.
Why would anyone want to alter their facial appearance beyond recognition ?

I think it’s sad that they feel they have to do this in order to feel better about themselves, I don’t think social media helps. But each to their own, lots of pressure on women to look a certain way, it’s never appealed to me

It's so depressing the way girls are turning into clones. The same ironed hair, black slug eyebrows and trout pouts. Once you've plumped the lips up like that the mouth looses its natural shape and you just have a pink sausage stuck on you face, just like all the others.

People often want to change their looks, Ellan. It's how they do it that may, or may not, seem strange.

Lots of women change their looks with make up but I think very few of them look the better for it.

I agree, FarNorth, that make up can be a form of art. I've seen some beautifully made up faces, especially eyes.
But distorting the face is unnatural.

It is a form of self-mutilation, just one step away from self-harm.

I agree, FarNorth, many of us do change the way we look; cutting and colouring hair is an accepted way of doing this. There is a view that some hair colouring may be harmful, both to the client and the hairdresser. Having chemicals injected into your skin is a step too far in my opinion though.

No, I really dont like botox or whatever else they use on the lips....not a good look...surprised with felicity kendal...
