I brought up the topic of aesthetics, and my girlfriend sulked.

I’ve been wanting to get lip fillers for a long time, but my boyfriend keeps saying there’s no need. To be honest, I feel like I would feel better about myself, but I’m also worried about his discomfort. Do you think I should only consider myself, or should I take his opinion into account?

I think you can get it done despite your boyfriend. After all, it’s your face, your decision. I also got lip fillers, my boyfriend didn’t want me to, but he got used to it once I did it. Now he says, ‘it’s good that you did it.’ Just do what makes you feel good.

There are a lot of people around me on this topic, generally guys are reluctant at first, but in the end, you are the one who changes the appearance, so they can’t really say no. My friend listened to what her boyfriend said and afterwards kept saying ‘I wish I hadn’t.’ So I suggest you think it over again :slightly_smiling_face:

Is it really sensible not to get it done because your partner might be uncomfortable? But on the other hand, I think you should turn inward and ask yourself: Do you truly want this, or is this idea something that social media instilled in you? You need to give an honest answer to that.

Cosmetic surgeries are a personal choice, but when someone undergoes one, their partner feeling uncomfortable can sometimes stem from jealousy or a desire for control. However, in lip fillers, choosing the right doctor is very important for a natural appearance after the procedure. Always go to a certified professional and do not decide without seeing the doctor’s previous work.

When I think about it, my partner actually advocates for natural beauty in general. They once even told me, “don’t touch” my nose. Maybe it’s because it doesn’t align with their idea of natural beauty. But I want it too, and I’m torn.

Are you asking about your partner’s words until now? It’s not marriage, nor is it something we should make a joint decision about. Will they keep interfering in everything you do in your life? This could be a problem for you in the future. You should learn to establish your own boundaries a bit better.

As a society, we criticize women who get aesthetic work done, but then we look at the result and say, ‘Wow, it looks amazing.’ I think it’s fine to do it, but be careful! Get something done that is subtle and natural. Your partner might not even notice. The rest will come from you!
