harsh truth - fillers DON’T always make you look prettier. they DON’T always make you look better. sometimes, they can make you look a heck of a lot worse. the normalisation and glamorisation of filler has meant that a whole new generation of young boys and girls think that it’s normal (and even expected) to get filler injected into your face. lips, cheeks, chin, jaw, nose, under eyes - ‘its just like heading to the gym’ says UK influencer Molly Mae. but filler is anything but normal. whilst it was originally created to help fill out hollowness for people in the throws of ageing, or illness, filler is now just a regular part of most people’s beauty routine. get your hair cut, get some filler. grab a latte, make your lips bigger. but with the rise in the normality of filler, so has risen the danger of black market fillers and practitioners. these counterfeit fillers are not only toxic, untested, unregulated and contaminated with odd substances that you really DON’T want to be injecting into your face or body, but it is incredibly dangerous to have an unqualified person inject you. let alone DIY it and attempt it yourself, as lots of people are starting to do.
bottom line? we need to look very closely at our obsession with fillers, and get clear about where we draw the line. bigger, is not always better.
