When I lost weight, I learned to look at myself from scratch, it feels like there’s someone else in the mirror. But now I realize that I get more hung up on the things I find lacking in my face. I keep looking at my lips because they’re thin. Do you think this is an obsession or will fillers really change my life? My boyfriend says I don’t need them, but I can’t shake the feeling.
I went through a similar process; after losing weight, I started to focus more on the small details of my face. I got lip fillers at a natural place recommended by a friend. Honestly, I’m happy with it, but it’s not very noticeable from the outside. I’d say go for it if you feel comfortable, but don’t make a decision without consulting a doctor.
To be honest, I think you shouldn't share too much of this kind of stuff with your partner. They’ve already told you they love you, and that you have thin lips is not a problem. It feels like you’re obsessing over it on your own. Consider whether it will really do you any good when you go through with it.
If you're considering changes to your facial features, it's a good idea to talk to a cosmetic specialist first. Lip fillers are generally temporary, and if not done in the right measure, you might not be satisfied. Value your partner's opinion, but if you're not sure of yourself, don't rush. Make sure to get a professional opinion first.
Let me also add that my love actually supported me a bit, especially with my weight issues, always by my side. But when I brought up the fillers, she kind of shut it down with a "no need". Actually, I don't want anything too big, just a small touch might be enough. Even a more natural look would be sufficient for me.
Now I'm going to ask you something, did this 'thin lips' issue come to your mind later, or has it always been like this and just became more apparent when you lost weight? Because usually, these kinds of things emerge after significant changes; if you're not fully accustomed to your face, it can look different over time.
Honestly, there’s no need to think so deeply about this. If your spouse or partner says, 'you look beautiful just the way you are,' why do you feel the need to change? In our society, these things are getting a bit overhyped. I think it’s better to learn to be content with yourself.
