Yoonability 4,159 Posted November 8, 2018 Share Posted November 8, 2018 I'm thinking of getting temporary lip fillers but my parents freak out even when I try to just discuss it with them. I'm already 22 and I've been independent of them for a long time but I still feel a little uneasy doing it without them being on board with it too; I want my parents to have my back in these things. I want to discuss it with them and explain that these days it's really not that dangerous but they freak out when I even try to bring it up and won't talk about it. Does anybody have any tips on how I can discuss this with my parents? I feel like they should know I'm really not a person who takes decisions lightly, certainly not like this, and I'm definitely a planner so I'm a little disappointed they react like this; it's as if they think I'm dumb/naive.

s o f t i e 497 Posted November 8, 2018 Share Posted November 8, 2018 90% of the people on social media who got lip fillers, look like they don't need it imo. It looks pretty obvious when you get it done. But if you want, I would just do it since you're independent... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've also looked at a lot of pictures online; if you stick to 1ml or less a good doctor can give you a natural effect. I will do it eventually; I just really wish I could do it without knowing that my parents will be very... I don't even know how to put it, cross/disappointed with me? After I do it. Perhaps they won't even notice, since I'm not home that often. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoneyPopCupcake 2,421 Posted November 8, 2018 Share Posted November 8, 2018 I agree with the user saying most people who get that done don't even need it. Your parents are just probably worried thinking you have self esteem issues or lack of confidence, if that's not the case then let them know Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBIIBBII 2,125 Posted November 8, 2018 Share Posted November 8, 2018 my nose is done because it's cheaper in hong kong to get cosmetic procedures and i'm really happy with it! *my bad i forgot to mention my parents reaction. they were fine with it because it wasn't a major procedure and knew it was something i was uncomfortable with for a long time. it came down to saving and talking it out with them for about six months?

I got mine done at 21 (I'm 24 now) so it was actually ~*cool*~ to my friends. Now that I've graduated I do find that people I meet now in my job who are older tend to be a bit more judgemental and say I'm too young for cosmetic work.

Yoonability 4,159 Posted November 8, 2018 Author Share Posted November 8, 2018 girl are you sure you even really need it? learn to love your features Very few people need a procedure like lip fillers... I am just very curious what I would look like with them; I feel like my current lips are too thin and if they were a bit fuller it'd balance out my features more nicely. I'm not saying I don't enjoy the way I look rn, I just feel like it would make me look even better. I work out and I sometimes put on make-up as well.. doesn't mean I don't feel as comfortable not doing those things. I got mine done at 21 (I'm 24 now) so it was actually ~*cool*~ to my friends. Now that I've graduated I do find that people I meet now in my job who are older tend to be a bit more judgemental and say I'm too young for cosmetic work. That's interesting! I feel like my friends would be judgemental as well, sigh. How do you deal with people being negative about your decision to get work done?

Actually a girl who I thought was a friend messaged another mutual friend of ours pointing out how fake it looked in an Instagram photo I posted LOL. I won't lie, it was upsetting for awhile and I was scared to post photos of myself but then I realized she was just one negative person.

Been there, done that lol. I know people say that make-up can make a big difference but when your lips are as tiny as mine, make-up can only go so far plus it wears off during the day... and I'm not a big make-up person anyhow. Plus fillers are different because they actually stretch the skin of your lips, so it looks different than when you simply apply make-up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The clinic I've chosen has existed for 16 years and the procedures are done by a plastic surgeon of 10 years so... I have confidence. Come with me sisT! We will get a package deal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silicon soul 19,457 Posted November 8, 2018 Share Posted November 8, 2018 One of my friends had Botox on her forehead and around her eyes. For ages she looked like she was starting into our soul because everything was so stiff. I don't know them personally but a friend of a friend had nose job and it looked ok sheet the procedure but they kept going back for more and now it's so long and skinny it looks like it drop off any minute The best prodecure was on one of work colleagues. He had a huge bald patch on the very top of his head, supposedl he had it since college and people kept making fun of him. He did a hair transplant and apart from the like first 2ish months of it looking like he was wearing a toupe it now looks really well done. If your didn't know you'd never notice he was ever bald.

Yeah I know some people that also do Youtube and when I saw them irl their botox looked really weird.. I think botox often gives that uncanny valley effect. My nephew also got that hair transplant when he was really upset he was going bald at a young age. It was expensive af but it looks beautiful, like you said you'd never have known he lost his hair.

People seem to believe that doing anything to yourself in the form of lighter procedures and/or ps must mean that you're unhappy with the way you look, but since this is on a forum discussing people who mostly have done some of these procedures at least... I'm just ??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most guys in my family go bald eventually, my dad was balding in his mid 30s, so chances are it'll happen to me as well. If not for the price I'd consider doing hair transplant too if/when the time comes. Or I could just shave my head, I don't mind that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
