We are sure that there is such an exhibit in your environment as well.
It is quite difficult to meet a girl without a single gram of silicone, botox or fillers. Alas, the fashion for curvaceous forms, no matter in what places, has captured the whole world. And my friend too. It all started ten years ago, when everyone was just talking about Botox and its “miraculous” action. First of all, Katya stabbed her forehead wrinkles, which were already invisible. By the way, then she was only 19 years old.
The effect was impressive in her eyes, so she ran for a new portion of beauty injections without thinking about the consequences. The second in line were “crow’s feet”. After these beauty treatments, the upper part of my best friend’s face became immobilized. It’s not for nothing that Hollywood actresses refuse a large dose of Botox.
Katya regularly went to the beautician every six months to correct the result, and then she heard about fillers. Of course, she immediately made an appointment with a doctor and nevertheless decided to enlarge her lips: her real ones were indeed thin. However, instead of natural, but at the same time slightly voluminous lips, my friend came to see me with real “dumplings”. Katya enthusiastically talked about her new boyfriend, and I just looked at her lips and thought: “Why did you do that?”
The next in line to improve the appearance were fillers in the cheekbones, so that they were chiseled. Not having time to weigh the pros and cons, she went on to ensure that her perfect rounded cheeks turned into rather sharp cheekbones. Fashionable, of course. But is it necessary?
Then a few more interventions followed – and now I no longer recognize my friend. She began to look like all the fashion girls on Instagram, lost her individuality and natural beauty and became like a mummy or living Ken, who is really scary to look at.
The worst thing is in her plans to further “improve” herself.
I really want to tell her that it’s time to stop and, perhaps, return her face to its former appearance, but she considers herself a true beauty.
– Refuse harsh criticism. No need to tell your friend that she did a great stupidity by enlarging her lips. This will provoke a protest. Any negotiations of this kind should be confidential and supportive, since a person who makes modifications to his appearance has problems with self-acceptance. It may not be easy for him.
Step 1. Negative star example
Talk to your friend about the celebrities whose lips or cheekbones you find aesthetically pleasing, then gradually move on to arguments against. Say that sometimes you really want to be like some kind of star, but there is a certain border. Think, as it were, of the stars who suffered from excessive injections.
Step 2. Focus on health
Complications can arise regardless of the professionalism of the specialist and the quality of the drugs. Possible risks include an allergic reaction, numbness of the treated part of the face, and the appearance of wound surfaces. When discussing this topic with a friend or sister, be sure to emphasize it. And it won’t be intimidating. There are official research data, which detail all the deplorable results of such a seemingly simple procedure. All methods have risks, even the most modern ones. Any person is afraid of being disfigured, afraid of ridicule. Reassure your friend that her health could be severely affected.
Step 3. Violation of facial expressions
One of the most common “side effects”, for example, with lip augmentation, is a violation of facial expressions and speech. Such consequences have also been observed in many famous people who pout their lips. They literally began to speak in the nose. The words from their lips ceased to sound clear and correct.
The thing is that the device of the speech apparatus is very thoughtful and vulnerable. Any intervention (if there is no medical indication) can disable this fragile mechanism. By changing the size of your lips, you risk losing your ability to speak easily.
Step 4. Male look
Involve a man on this topic. Sometimes their arguments and compliments are much more effective than all the arguments of their friends put together. It will be great if the young man compliments the girl’s lips before she gets ready for the procedure, and also casually notes that the owners of large lips cause a negative reaction.
