I have never considered fillers, primarily because of the myths you just listed. I was afraid if I tried them, I’d end up with a permanent duck face. Thank you for correcting that!
I have not considered getting a lip filler. It seems like a no brainer in terms of procedure but you bring up good points to consider. Glad to know that this procedure is also not permanent like a tattoo. So if someone did decide to try it out, it’s something they can choose to discontinue.

Nice to know about lip fillers more. And yeah, it still depends on your specialist on how they work with your lips. Not all lips will look unnatural.
People who want to look beautiful by having a bigger and plump lips: please read this. It is good to know what are the truths and myths about lip filler.
Hhhhmmm…it’s good to learn that they are kind of permanent once the treatment begins! Thanks for sharing about them.
There is so much disinformation out there. I think if people are going to do any procedures, they should consult with a professional and have all of their questions answered.
I did not know that lip fillers could not be reversed once treatments have started. This is something that should require deep thought. Especially because there is no turning back.
I have never been one to get lip fillers, but to whoever does. Good for you. As long as you are doing for yourself
Im actually considering lip fillers. And I’m glad I came across your site. It`s good to differentiate which one is a rumor and which one is a fact.
This is an interesting read. I have no plans of getting a lip filler but this is good to know. This detailed post can genuinely help someone who considers getting one.
This is so interesting! I’ve always been so scared to get filler. But it looks so great on some people
I did not know lip lines thin as we age. Still I would think twice about getting lip fillers. Although, it is good to know that they are not permanent and that you can have it altered if you did not like the result.
So informative. Thank you for sharing! I didn’t know that there was really a difference!
You made an interesting point when you mentioned that it is a good idea to seek expert advice when you are thinking of getting a lip filler. Would it be a good idea to schedule a consultation with a dentist if you are wanting to get a filler? I would imagine that dentists would be able to provide you with good information since they probably know a lot about lip fillers.
