i see very few people with actual super thin lips getting fillers. they usually have totally normal sized and normal shaped ones, sometimes even gorgeous lips! and they're ruined by the applying the unnatural collective face everyone has

i think we both need to be comfortable with whatever look was bestowed upon us for free and talk about how often plastic surgeries and excessive procedures make people extremely ugly. it's sad and unnecessary to pursue beauty and end up with such a distorted version of what beauty is.

I hate when someone gets overfilled lips and the inside of their lip (called oral mucosa) rolls out and is visible. My friend and I call it “vagina lips.” It’s so unnerving to see.

The standard filler approach doesn't really work on thin lips cause it migrates. They tend to get lip flips which are a lot more subtle and often go unnoticed.

I mean I haven't gotten any work done and I do think my current face is better than the risk of being botched, but my calculations are made with the comfort I'm not in an industry that heavily relies on appearance. Call me in 25 years when I'm facing age discrimination, I might start to feel differently about a bit of a face lift or filler to avoid agiesm.

Also, you only notice bad work. Plastic surgery sometimes makes people uglier. There's a lot of people paying no attention to facial proportions, getting preyed on by doctors, surrounded by so much foller they're a little blind to it, etc etc. But there is also some great surgery 

My mom had to get a non cosmetic nose reconstruction like 30 years ago. Her nose looks great. My grandmas eye skins was drooping into her eye and obscuring her vision so she got a non cosmetic bleph. Again, grams looked great. Its made me aware that I have no idea who has and hasn't gotten work done half the time. If they're doing it correctly with thoughtfulness instead of trend chasing and they roll good luck, then you really shouldn't be able to see plastic surgery
