Lip injections. Not once has looking like you just got hit in the mouth with a hockey puck helped someone look better.
Not that I think it’s a good idea, but to be fair, you’re only noticing the bad and extreme cases. There are subtle and fine cases too that just don’t draws attention to them.
The thing is, some of the really bad cases still get modeling jobs, which says that someone thinks the bad cases actually look good.
Even some of the subtler cases look off to me, giving a certain distinctive artificial look. I don't doubt that if you see it enough it starts to look natural, but to me that just makes it worse.
it depends, if you get a well done fat graft it looks natural. You can’t deviate too much obviously, it just enhances a bit
The thing is some group of people must like it or people wouldn't do it.
Chances are this is a "you aren't the target audience" type deal.
There's also body dysmorphia driving people to do stuff like this.
I feel like most of them havent seen it in real life though, only on social media. Its just another level of strange seeing it for real
They've existed much longer than social media hehe
It can look okay but its a very small group of people who look good with it and a small group of doctors that do it well. They do not consistently pair up.
Same with buccal fat (cheek fat basically) removal. For most they just look hollowed out, like they did meth for a while. Erin Moriarty (Annie/Starlight on The Boys) is rumored to have had it, and it shows.
