LOL, the irony… on a video where she’s trying to combat woman’s insecurities, you are projecting your’s onto her 😂 you should reevaluate your way of thinking and reflect. It might do you some good!
and this my friends is part of the reason so many women fall victim to these toxic beauty standards and toxic tweakments. I have no intention of getting botox in my forehead. I'm 36 so I expect I should have some lines, and I am not ashamed of them.
THANK YOU FOR POSTING THIS.! My mom has the lower eye lymph blockage and her filler girl told her it’s allergies. “Allergies” that’s never went away and lasted a year & started a month after she got filler? Smdh. Thank you 🙏
Remember when we made fun of Victorian and Elizabethan and women from all other eras about the ridiculous lengths they’d go to to fit the beauty standard? One day they will say the same thing about us. God, I remember when a doctors job was to cure you of an ailment.
Yeah, and like feet binding & stuff like that in other cultures. Mind you, I've always thought crippling high heels were pretty bad. I tried them & was in extreme discomfort & could never understand the masochism of it. Same with other uncomfortable clothing. I couldn't be bothered.
Yes, it's exactly the same thing, and I don't think it will change going forward. People will be insecure and there will always be others profiting off that.
yes!! definitely to a certain extent, but a lot of people spend their whole life savings on products that don’t even work. The skincare industry is a scam and telling people lies, you only need certain things depending on your skin type and conditions
I can’t believe people actually thought changing their lips would magically make people more attracted to them. Never heard anyone say that girls pretty ugly but those lips are worth the risk
@@UdontknowmiI think the noses they've been getting look absolutely terrible, not perfect, I get them thinking that but it's still such an odd decision to put filler in the tip of your nose 😵💫
I am being so serious when I say that the best thing you can do for yourself if you want to look your best is to live a healthy lifestyle. Look after yourself and it wont matter what your features are, you will glow with health and others will be able to see it
Does Haley Beiber think we’re all blind? She quite obviously has had lip filler done. Lips don’t get plumper as we age! It even looks like filler! Natural lips simply don’t look like that.
@@elin_my bottom lip is pretty plump, but my lips/mouth are very small overall and have a quite distinct shape Something interesting I've noticed about filler is that it seems to change the shape as well as the size. It erases the natural diversity in lip shapes. Increasing the size (outside of extremely subtle amounts) will make the inside parts of your lips that wouldn't naturally show, show. I know there's different "styles" of doing lips to create different shapes, but it seems to me that over time as the filler settles and migrates, you lose that shape and it starts resembling all other filler lips
@@slitheen3 yeah.. I have a decently sized (probably quite thin) lower lip, but the upper one is thinner.. But I just try to live with it hahah.. Idk how I'd look like with filler
@@elin_ oh definitely. I'd look quite silly! I remember at one time after eating some very spicy but delicious mango salsa, my lips were a lil swollen from just how spicy it was and they looked kinda cute. But, I wouldn't want that all the time!! I think the diversity in our looks is a good thing. When we all look the same it becomes boring even if it looks "good"
I wanted to look like Madison Beer when I was a teenager. I envied her little nose, her full lips. I followed her on Instagram and compared myself to her all the time and cried at night because I didn't look like her. Of course I didn't have the money to get a nose job or a lip fill... THANK GOD! So one day I decided to unfollow her on Instagram along with all the other beauticians and slowly my confidence started to come back. I'm 23 now and I wouldn't change a thing about myself. I've accepted myself.
Same thing! But instead of Madison Beer I really wanted to look like Kylie Jenner when I was younger. But then I started looking at videos like these and "Instagram vs reality" videos and not only I'm disgusted with everything I see, I pity that other girls get these procedures just to get a nice pic. I have started to liking myself, with all of my imperfections
you are the problem then, you follow her not for her music or her TALENT but for her looks, all you girls think you just need to look pretty and everything will be fine, NO! you should be comparing yourself to Madison Beer in terms of how disciplined her career was, and how talented she is, and make you want to pursue your dreams, not only looking like her ! Everyone will now blame her for looking pretty, its not her fault, some people arent born pretty, but you have to learn to accept that you can be amazing at many other things then just style and your appearance
If I was rich enough to afford fillers and plastic surgery, I would have used that money to hire a fitness trainer, nutritionist, a chef and a good therapist. We will age no matter what, rather be mentally and physically fit over just having a wrinkle free face.
@@imzabatch She will. All that surgery stretched her face and distorted her body. She's the same age as my younger brother and looks older than me. The most she can do is remove the filler and stay off social media
Hi Stephanie! I'm a 15 year old girl and your videos help me with my confidence a lot. I love your honesty and look on things. Thanks for all you do ❤️
This is what I needed when I was 15. Just remember, today’s beauty standards are just trends that come and go. (Even though that should NOT be the case). Everyone is honestly beautiful in their own way. Cherish your natural beauty!
the most perfect and beautiful you, is the you as you were born. don't compromise your health for a trend. everyone looks different and it's so scary if everyone looks the same. it's very addictive.
20 years from now, we will look back and wonder wtf were people thinking doing this 😂. BBL's and facial filler are two trends I'll be happy to see end!!
facial fillers will never get out of use, their purpose is to restore volume lost from aging or from genetic component. and also, body dysmorphia wont disappear, EVER. trends can change, but altering one's looks will be still popular, one way or another
THANK YOU FOR SPEAKING UP! If I had a platform I would have said this years and years ago. We are beautiful and surgeries, botox, fillers for cosmetic reasons is so so SO sad
SIDE NOTE*** Esthetician here 🖐🏾When doing a FACIAL if you accidentally touch someone’s hair you have to change your gloves. For a noninvasive FACIAL! ! AND AT @3:57 ! The injector touched her hair and went straight back into injecting her lips!!!!!🤮🤮🤮🤢
Yeah, i think it's skinvive or something like that. A hydrator, not a filler. At the same time though, it's new and "the next big thing" so a grain of salt is needed
That wasn’t filler. The procedure is called Mesotherapy. They inject biostimulators made of hyaluronic acid (but not the thick kind like filler), peptides, vitamins, exozomes, &/or polynucleotide that dissolve within hours or a couple days depending on the product and your skin. It’s extremely safe as long as it’s a legit product & you’re not allergic. It’s ingredients we use on our skin in topicals, just purer & sterile so safe to inject into the skin to moisturize, build collagen, etc.
I should clarify, the ingredients I listed above are safe. There are some Mesotherapy products that do have a light filler (cross-linked HA) in them or other ingredients called PCL, PLA, PLLA or PDLLA that can cause vascular occlusion if they are injected into a vein but they are safe also as long as the injector aspirates & is educated. Not sure if the ones with cross-linked HA hang around forever like regular HA filler can. They aren’t meant to hold shape the way filler does though. As far as I know they actually do fully dissolve after a bit.
@@VegasTiff cross-linked HA IS FILLER and doesnt matter what other ingredients are, it still behaves like a filler. also, fillers are different. some fillers are more viscoelastic and some are more fuild. ofc those more fluid and less dense are easier for body to dissolve. each filler serves different purposes. the harder ones are to volumize for example cheeks and stay in place, retaining their original shape, and soft ones fill for example under eyes. if a mesotherapy vial contains for example 12mg/ml filler, and normal fillers contain typically 24, it still behaves the same. u just need twice as much for the same filling effect. id avoid skin boosters with fillers tho, cause u cant be sure what kind of filler you're getting there, producers dont specify that.
i’ve always found wrinkles, smile lines, and any other facial aspects beautiful because it displays how much you’ve laughed, cried, and just shows the story of human life throughout one’s face. taking that all away with plastic surgery and filler is almost like taking away someone’s life story, its sad. do i have facial insecurities? absolutely. but we’re all made the way we are for a reason, we’re all meant to look different from one another and plastic surgery just rips that away from us.
You know how maybe 15 years ago all of these celebs were coming out and saying they regretted over plucking their eyebrows in the 90s/early 2000s? Because they can’t get them to grow back? This is analogous to that - but sooo much worse. Beauty trends are crap! Just be your natural, beautiful self!
I wonder if the Elizabethians who plucked their hairline super high regretted it when the trend changed 🤔 I’m imagining it had to happen to a few people even if you account for slower transfer of info and therefore slower transfer of things like fashion trends. I hope it was big hats that were in next so that nobody got too upset
Ummm that is nothing like permanently disfiguring your entire physique. Over-plucked eyebrows are purely aesthetic, nobody really notices it besides the person with the eyebrows. EVERYONE notices a fucked up, fake ass pillow face
i don’t understand getting SO upset about filler accusations. if someone accused me of that, i would laugh it off. these celebrities SUING over filler speculation speaks VOLUMES
they’re not even suing!! just threatening it!! the threat of litigation means jack shit when there’s no follow through!! if they ACTUALLY didn’t get work done, they’d go to litigation, they can’t however, as the evidence of them having gotten work done is piled high!
Right? I'd take it as a compliment if my face was so naturally pretty people thought I'd got fillers. Or I'd just laugh it off. Going on the defensiveness says so much!
22:53 that explains why she started looking like that. Once people start to get them dissolved they don’t look like they used to. They look old and like they lost a bunch of weight rapidly but only in their face.
Schools can teach whatever they want, but ultimately it’s the parents’ responsibility to take care of their own children and teach them about things like this (and not pay for the fillers being injected into a 15 y.o.’s face). Clearly the parents allowed social media to raise their kids and now we’re seeing the results…
@@cobrakai3732 A lot of parents are working too hard to be able to afford having kids in this society to be able to watch every little thing their kids watch.
This is eye-opening Steph!!! Now we know why these young ppl look older than they actually are. Such a shame that those who convinced themselves to get it, will never have the opportunity to reverse that decision..... I will stick to living with the natural aging process than to fight the hands of time. It is not worth the hassle and the side effects! Self-love over all of this nonsense/ Tom Foolery!
Round face here! hated it in my teens and twenties, but now that I'm almost 40, I look much younger than most of my friends. The round shape has a lot to do with that. Glad I was too poor to augment it, because now I love it, haha!
My parents and I have round faces and we all look younger than we actually are. My parents are in their late 50s and could pass for 40s. I’m 23 and can pass for a few years younger.
@@lestervalentin5418It is topical and different. If you have concerns, please contact your dermatologist or set up an appointment. It actually can be life saving! The first time I went for a full body evaluation, I learned that I had a pre-cancerous mole on my back. It was removed fortunately. Remember your skin is also an organ so protect it! 😊
Yea i was thinking the same thing watching this. A lot of celebrities may be speaking out against getting extreme filler but that sure as hell does not mean that they are natural.....
@@eli3sfan thankfully not average where i'm from... but i don't have the kinda money to get em. at the end of it, we have to live with ourselves. hope people can learn to live and love.
It's so nice to see tv shows and movies from the 80s and 90s were people didn't had the same filler face. I know they already had plastic surgery back then, but at least people didn't look exactly the same. They had some originality that was so attractive.
Yes, I was watching ten things I hate about you and I was telling my husband “they look like real people look their teeth are normal not unnatural white”
@@mirandam7447 I had a similar experience when i was watching that movie with my bf last night. I told him „look at their lips, thats when big lips weren‘t a thing yet“ and honestly, it looks so much more natural. Kate Hudson was and is a stunning beauty plump lips or not. I did look up what she looks like today and she definitely had filler too. That kinda made me sad.
It was also deeply reassuring to see ugly and boring people on TV back then too. I don't want to be constantly looking at people who make me feel bad about myself, and I think it's fascinating that this kind of self harm is so addictive. We know full well that looking at perfect people does damage to our self esteem, but we won't watch movies without them. Seeing more and more people call normal teeth "disgusting" for not being perfectly white, people laughing at anyone who wasn't model beautiful... it's quite hard to blame the media, we had so much choice and we chose this. It's nice to see it be rejected a little, but I don't think it's more than just another current changing in beauty standards, like tans, like butt size, we just get a little bored and flock to the next pretty standout and declare that this time, this is the true beauty. I don't think we've learned a thing.
What gets me is that majority of people aren’t even ugly!!!! They just need to drink an extra bottle of water, or moisturize or get a haircut. Even trimming your eyebrows will change your entire appearance YOU DONT NEED FILLERSSSSS!!!!!!!
Yeah ,non of them actually. But the wealthy ones definitely had their brows, makeup and hair done, so they decided the only thing left to do is fillers.
Can confirm, I have caterpillar brows and always feel gorgeous when I pluck the excess away. Just work with what you have and people will find you beautiful in their own way.
Its not just the volume of filler that's expanding the face. If its blocking lymphatic system, its keeping all the fluid that should otherwise been drained in the skin and you'll literally be swollen. You'll be creating a situation similar to a health condition called lymphedima. If you are going to keep your face swollen for years, the skin is ofcourse going to stretch out and sag.
I think it’s because UA-cam is being a PAIN in the ass and you can’t say something a bit « harsh » in the few first minutes or you’ll get instantly demonetised and shadow banned
I do use filler on the right side of my face (done by a plastic surgeon). I had half of my face shattered in an accident. While I have a plate to hold up my eye, the fillers have helped my eye even with the other eye and rebuild my cheek. Because of that, I’m not going to bash it. But yes, there’s too much of it going on faces that don’t need it.
With respect, what about your lymph node system? Is it worth destroying your immune system? Did your doctor discuss that eventuality with you? Just curious
Well this sounds like a very valid reason to get it.. much different than a girl who just wants to look like all the other girls on Instagram. Sorry about your accident 💕
@@Shannon_710 it doesn’t matter why you get it really, I don’t have Instagram or any of that . I just had a crappy life and a boyfriend who made me feel like 💩about myself when I started it . At the end of the day the main issue is being lied to and being told yet again sth is safe and effective and oh look it’s not . And yeah judge me all you like and approve of others reasons, it doesn’t affect me that’s your opinion , cool . However, the fact that someone who has had such a trauma as the OP , now has to worry potentially this could have become cancer, well that’s unacceptable imho
Hi Stephanie, I’m a 13 year old girl, soon to be 14, and I just want to say THANK YOU so much for the content you make. I’ve only been watching you for a little bit now, but the confidence boost you’ve given me means a lot. I really mean it. Especially as someone who has really big lips, a huge insecurity of mine is their size (they’re also two-toned), but watching this video definitely made me feel good about myself because there are people who will pay to make their lips bigger (I hope that doesn’t sound rude). You are so sweet and beautiful. Thank you for all the videos you make :D.
I'd recommend looking into other cultures' beauty standards, too. You might be surprised to find out that something you feel insecure about was "the next hot thing" 500 years ago or if you take a 20-hour flight. It also puts into perspective how silly it can all be.
I got bullied about my full lips as a child. At around the same time that full lips became desirable, mine deflated. Stay true to yourself and most of all enjoy your youth. Use sunscreen religiously.
It’s so weird because I was your age 10 years ago. I was insecure because how tiny my lips were (are). And would photoshop my lips imaging the day I get lip fillers. The media always makes young girls insecure, because they want your money. That’s what I believe
I rejected lip filler while pregnant - old filler began oozing out of my lips through constant cold sore like wounds. They were inflamed, painful, and literally the worst part of my 1st pregnancy. But here I was considering getting them again. So, thank you, for making me reconsider and shake my head at all the bullshit that comes along with fillers
nurse injector here- you should never get filler or botox while pregnant as there are no studies to show if effects baby or not. sorry to hear you had a bad experience... sounds really painful!!
Thats what i was thinking!! If they warn about not dying your hair while pregnant, how could injecting foreign substances into your body without effecting the baby?!@@nataliehall346
@@nataliehall346she never said she got lip filler while pregnant. She said she rejected OLD filler. And the word you're looking for is "affect," not "effect."
I've made it to 60 without work. Good skincare, no sun, and a healthy diet. I look younger than my age. Embrace your face. I hope that's a hashtag...embrace your face
As a surgical tech that assisted in plastic and burn surgeries and personally had 11 surgeries (non-cosmetic), I cannot stress enough how important it is to avoid ALL surgeries unless truly medically necessary! Our bodies were absolutely NOT designed to have anything added to it or removed. Every time you penetrate your skin - the body's first line of defense - it triggers a healing process that effects the ENTIRE BODY! I'm not kidding yall. My entire education is based on surgical technology and the body's healing process. Please take this a professional advice from an expert in their field. I specialized in complex neurosurgery. When i became disabled and informed i need a pain pump and nerve stimulator, i immediately said h3ll no. I have performed those EXACT surgeries on others and implanted these same devices. If a neurosurgical tech is refusing the same procedures neurosurgeons prescribe to patients, that is a major sign. If a scrub nurse that has performed hundreds of plastic surgeries from reconstruction of botched cases to initial implants and "mommy makeovers" is refusing to have plastic surgery - TAKE THAT AS A SIGN!!
I'll be honest, it really wasn't a scam. It was absolutely people feeling pressured and the beauty industry once again taking advantage of how medically illiterate the average person is, especially when it comes to cosmetic surgery.
Glad my mom instilled in me that pretty isn't the only thing. She really pushed for values like working hard, being smart, personal accomplishments, creativity. So even when I did feel insecure about my looks I was able to move past it because I had other ways I believed in myself.
Yes exactly!! It's nice to like the way you look, but my appearance it's the least interesting and least important thing about me. I'd much rather be kind, compassionate, and caring than pretty (and pretty by whose standards anyway???)
Same and I'm so glad she did. She kept saying I was beautiful and enough. And she reminded me that beautiful comes in all shapes and sizes, how confidence is pretty too and how being proud of your accomplishments makes you shine. How following your passion is something people will admire. And being a kind and welcoming person will be inviting to more kind souls. And even though as a teenager with raging hormones I really didn't believe her at the time, her comments stuck with me forever. I didn't believe it then, but I remembered it. And when I got older and topics like fillers and plastic surgery became a topic I rejected them immediately because of what she told me. I knew I was enough. I'm eternally grateful.
THIS! My parents would get on to my grandparents for calling me “pretty” all the time and would tell them in front of me that I am smart, strong, courageous, and creative. Now that I have an impressionable little girl, I always am telling her the same things my parents told me. Beauty is more than how you look, and I want my daughter to have that instilled on her own principles
I hope you're right when you say " filler is over". I couldn't watch those weird puffy faces anymore. I can't take them seriously. They faces don't move, you can't tell if they're sad or happy. Please accept your body, your face and your age. I'm sure you're beautiful!
This is why us early 40 yr olds look so young. Botox and fillers weren't even a thought back then. Eyebrow waxing, lipgloss and a good eyeshadow was it. You're young, that's the best skin of your life. Over 35 is a different beast lol. Enjoy the youthful glow and leave your faces alone until you actually age and then make that decision. Its not needed at all when you're that young
thank you so much. im 16 and ive been saying for years "the first thing im going to do when i work is get lip filler". youve SAVED me thank you so much
Beauty products goal is to get you use more beauty products. Learn ingredients & only buy what your face needs, not what someone else is using. And the less ingredients in a product, the better.
Tbh I feel like so many people just overdo everything. My doctor has a degree in medicine and plastic surgery. She explained EXACTLY how every type of filler worked in SUCH detail that it actually scared me 🤣 What stood out to me is once you get it, it doesn’t get absorbed like everyone says. It just moves around and it’s your DOCTOR’S RESPONSIBILITY to reposition it INSTEAD OF GIVING YOU MORE!
@@Citera_Florae my doctor mentioned massaging it into place slowly and over time using guasha! If it doesn’t move over a few months, dissolving them and getting them refilled is the next step. I’ve had really good results. My filler hasn’t moved in almost a year and it looks like I got it done yesterday 🫶🏼
It's a no-win game: either women are chastised for being ugly (per current standards) or chastised for trying to fix their appearance (because they eere targeted for being ugly).
@@marielle7505 i think the comment was targetting the everyday people who have bad comments get under their skin and try to flush them out with filler.
Literally!!! Now that I know this it’s why I don’t see the point in (knowingly) taking risks for beauty. I can’t win, none of us can. So why actively participate in a game I didn’t sign up for?
Love the face you have. I hated my cupid's bow lips as everyone was getting these plump grub-like rounded cartoony lips. I hated the points on my lips so much that I seriously considered filler just to smooth out those points. Now everyone is getting their filler dissolved or regretting it, and my heart goes out to them, but I am so SO glad I did not get filler done.
Why does Madison deny that she got plastic surgery? Just so people can praise her all the time? 😂 I laugh so much when celebrities' lies about plastic surgery are exposed. Yes, I looked at Madison's younger pictures and she is really pretty. She just has thin lips and she is so worried about it. And she made a complex out of it and lied to herself and people. I will never understand why celebrities are like this.
Because they don’t wanna accept that they naturally aren’t the fantasy that they think they are they are. They aspire to be an ultimate beauty. And to think that that’s not real would crush them. So they lie to us in an effort to convince themselves.
@@SocialExperiment232 You explained it very well and correctly. Or they might do it to make us feel Insecure and inadequate. And when they finally get exposed like this, it's funny.
I totally agree. I think celebrities have extra pressure on them since they have so many eyes in them, so they want to protect themselves from people talking about how ugly they are, etc. but in lying to the rest of us about what they may or may not have done, it keeps pushing this unattainable beauty standard. It’s sad
In my opinion, it’s not over nor will it ever be due to ageism and unrealistic expectations on appearance (primarily due to social media). However, I do think people are making more subtle modifications and doctors are getting better at making it look more natural. It seems people are using it more so to complement their existing features rather than to completely change/alter existing ones. The best work is the kind of work you don’t notice 😅
Yeah I still plan on redoing mine. But I get the tiniest amount to fill a a couple lines and it’s all done by a board certified plastic surgeon. It just makes me feel more confident. 🤷🏻♀️
I mean my skin has always been like that due to EDS.... My dad's is like that too! And neither of us has ever thought of doing injection of anything, and just injecting nothing whatsoever 😂
i’ve wanted fillers for ages due to insecurities but i’ve always had this nagging feeling that they had to be bad for you somehow. the nagging feeling was small enough for me to put off getting them, but only because it felt like something i should wait til i have more disposable income for- but stil, the nagging was enough for me to put it off for many years… lets just say after watching this, i am VERY grateful for that nagging voice
I wish people would just be more comfortable in how they look naturally. Obviously we all have insecurities, but we’re naturally beautiful and unique. These surgeries are making everyone look like clones.
Being poor saves you from making awful decisions like these Haha. it's possible to delay aging and reverse a LOT naturally just through Microneedling. No procedure that I have done in my life was as helpful as the high-quality derma pen I got for around 100$
Yeah sure, during the years I have tried almost everything to look younger + delay aging, especially after losing that amount of weight, like face exercises, vitamin C serum, Fraxel, collagen supplements and of course Retin A (7 years straight), home devices and what not. I swear, Nothing made any real difference compared to microneedling. Within 3 months of use, my skin has improved DRAMATICALLY. I don't look like I'm 20's again, but definitely not 44 either. My fine lines have disappeared completely, and my nasolabial folds are way less are nonexist (never had jowls though). People often underestimate the power of wounding and the revolutionary effects it can have on the skin
I’ve actually always wanted a little lip filler. This video has changed my mind! I did NOT know that “dissolving” filler could have those side effects! I am never doing any filler now!! Thank you!!!
There simply aren't enough conclusive studies yet - we don't fully know the effects of filler decades later. There have been really interesting studies lately, but no conclusive results yet. It seems pretty well established that the product dissolves some collagen along with the filler, and that's a big deal as you age (the number one thing people do to look youthful is treatments to boost collagen production), which is why a lot of people end up looking much older once they get them dissolved.
I an colombian, i grew up around these procedures like they were candy in a candy shop, in fact, i was offered by my own mom a boob job. I have always stayed as far away as possible from any plastic procedure because i grew up seeing my mom suffer through the recovering after these things, as well as how after a while things move and dont look the way they did at first. I would say i grew up around ny cautitory tale
I think we need a MASSIVE lesson on narcissism. Group narcisssm. Narcissistic society structures devised by Narcissistic people. How anti-natural narcissism is (I/we can do better than nature itself).
I’m so happy that I was always too poor for this kind of stuff. I just turned 28 and if there’s something I’ve noticed it is that more and more I like the way my face looks. Those wrinkles? Good! That nose? I love it! And lips? Yeah, I like them the way they are. Thank you Stephanie for always reminding us that we are perfect the way we are 🖤
The older I get, the happier I am with my looks. Even though socially I am getting "uglier" as I age. I used to be fit and think I was too big, and fat even though I was lean and muscular. Now I'm actually fat and I think, "I don't look too bad!" lol
I might've despised my face in my 20's but thank God, it never crossed my mind to inject some poison in it. My mom kept calling me beautiful even when I didn't believe her, guess it did work in the long run. It's insane how normalized this stuff is, so glad creators like you are speaking up.
I’ve never had fillers and I always thought that they looked horrible. I’m so glad this trend is coming to an end. Those with insecurities as strong as that need therapy. I have naturally full lips and my friends used to make fun of me when we were younger.
@@lorenvitucci9787 Exactly. Who cares what anyone thinks! If someone doesn’t like us for how we look that’s their fault, not ours. The right people will love us for who we are inside.
I'm turning 28 and have had someone harass me telling me I need facial fillers because I "look so gaunt". It's because I've literally lost facial volume due to healthy weightloss :/ certain people will try and control and criticize you even when you're healthy, bc it's not about being healthy, or even about being thin: it's about being considered pretty by society. Miss me w that misogynistic bs
Hey, I'm 46, trust me, ur on the right path. I used to be someone too insecure to leave the house make up free so definitely would've fallen for these procedures had they existed in the 90s. The more u say Eff Off to this bs the happier & healthier you will be. It's all about supporting the cosmetic industy, absolutely nothing else. And anyone who criticises your appearance really needs to a)get a life & b)grow up - such criticism is a sign of immaturity- throw that in their direction! 💙
Sometimes not everyone will be kind about your health journey and they will pick at you with anything they can. I’m sorry they really suck❤ you did a great job go you 👏🏻
I was not even 20 yet when I was recommended botox for my supposed wrinkles and not even a year later I was recommended fillers by a different doctor. Thankfully I had enough common sense not to listen to these "advice".
The other thing I think, is that these people know they've made themselves look "giant" with their fillers. Honestly they look like king Tutankhamen, and they know it, and it hurts. So when they see natural humans they lose it and have to ruin others too, because then they can reassure themselves they did the right thing.
I love your content Stephanie, I’m particularly ugly and honestly no amount of plastic surgery can make it better I haven’t been blessed with beauty and I have realized I have to come to terms with it and live with it. Men have always treated me awfully and never let me feel like I deserve to live because I am simply ugly. I keep thinking of easy fixes but your videos keep me from making bigger mistakes ❤ thank you
I’m sure you’re a very beautiful human being. Difference of looks makes us unique and does not divide us into better and worse rank. You are as beautiful and worthy of a person as anyone else here on Earth. Remember that.
Find something you do well: in the arts, sports, a hobby, craft, volunteer to help others, or acquire domestic skills (like being a whiz in the kitchen or sewing) There's a whole world you can conquer! Appreciate your skills, intelligence, or innate kindness. Be your best self.
I think you just don't fit the standard of beauty. I doubt you are as you say you are. You are beautiful. Take care of your skin, just cleanse and moisturize. Wear clothes that compliment and accentuate your body type. Accessorize. But most importantly, express yourself. Be you. And nothing is more beautiful than that, I guarantee you. You have the gift you say you don't. I know it, stranger.
The pillow faces are probably not only fillers building up but also lymphedema from clogged lymphatic system. Super scary as you can get that after cancer when your lymph knots have to be removed and your limbs or face starts swelling.
i got this in my reccomended not even an hour after toying with the idea of top lip filler. definitely will not be getting any after watching, i appreciate it a lot 🙏🏻
You’re already perfect as you are 💕💕💕 Changing my social media so I was following people who look different from the beauty standard made such a big difference to my confidence, I definitely recommend it (or just taking a break). The other thing that helped was talking to myself how I talk to my friends!
My Asian mum would hit me with a chappal if I even entertained the idea of going for something so unnatural just to look like Hollywood celebs. She'll say, "If you have time to think about such nonsense, go do some real work in the world, earn that money for the procedure and then see if you care about your face."
This explained so much for me! I’ve noticed the gradual rounding of women’s faces over the last decade. I knew it had to be something other than genetics…
Def beauty standards. Beauty standards will make everyone look the same, and soon everyone will switch out parts of their outfit to match the rest of the robots.
Thank you, Stephanie!! This normalisation of facial surgery/fillers etc is effing terrifying & utterly frightening. No surgical procedure is without complications...and embracing your own natural beauty has got to be the way forward!!
I was told I should get surgery to fix my face and body so people would think I looked good and was worth flirting with and/or dating. I was told to get a boob job too. I never ever considered doing it because my body and face may not be “perfect” but it’s mine. And I’m proud of it (IDC if it’s lame. It’s my life and my body and I’m good with how it looks!)
I just turned 31 this September and I have to say, I am SO HAPPY I didn’t fall down the filler rabbit hole in my early 20s like a lot of my friends did. I look at least five years younger than the rest of them. While they Sit around talking about what procedure they want next because they are never fully satisfied, I am happier than I’ve ever been with my appearance and have never been complimented more. Confidence in yourself and knowing who you are radiates. And if you do feel the need to get fillers, go to a reputable plastic surgeon. NOT a med spa. For the love of god.
What's crazy is how these are clearly trends. Big lips aren't going to be in style forever. Probably the next trend will be thin lips and you'll see these girls getting lip meat cut out.
This is how I'm hoping to be. I feel great all natural right now. I hope i dont get bullied into wanting to change things about myself. .I love how I look right now. And hope I do as I age .
thank you stephanie so much for what you do, i’m a 17 year old girl that has always wanted fillers or change her nose/ a rhinoplasty, after watching a lot of your videos and content i’ve come to the conclusion that my face is good and pretty how it is and that i will never start o do anything to my face. after changing my pint of view i’m starting to realise i don’t need anything. 🙂❤ Thank you again ❤❤
I was in my teens when the Kardashian’s where at there peak (2015/2016). Me and my friends wanted to look like them and wanted Botox and filler to achieve that look. Thankfully none of us ever did! I’m about to turn 24 now and I’m happy with how I look. My features are my own and reflect my heritage… I look a lot like my mum and my Nan and I’ve always thought they were beautiful and I’m proud that I share a lot of their features 😊
And especially wanting it that young, your face isn't even finished developing. Obviously all of us change slightly over time, but those changes come fast and furious when you're younger. How you look at 17 is not how you'll look at even 20, much less 24.
it took me a reaaaalllly long time to decide on whether i should get lip fillers & i finally did when i was 24. i already have pretty full lips, so i only ever get like half a syringe every 2 yrs or so to help w/ wrinkles. it’s the only filler i’ll ever get (always at a reputable medical facility by professionals!!!) but this made me rethink so heavily…like i’d rather live with wrinkly lips than get cancer!!! ty so much for always being real in ur videos!! being informed & comfortable in your skin is so so so important!!!!
We can hardly expect kids under the age of 15 or so to have the life experience to know that lips don’t change due to puberty. The youngest and least educated are the most vulnerable to all kinds of disinformation and snake oil sales people.
They are really clowining themselves. I have no idea why people want to believe so hard that her face is natural, as if that affects them in any way lol
Not going to lie, I naively believed so I. The beginning cause I'm from Nigeria and didn't know what any of these cosmetic stuff were until it became a trendy topic on my UA-cam page.
Dr Gavin Chan MBBS from the Victorian Cosmetic Institute here on youtube has been warning us about this for 5 years … yes 5 YEARS !!! … guess not many people listened 🤷♀️!!!
I'm 32 and filler is one of my biggest regrets. I look much older than I would have otherwise. My jowl lines are way more pronounced and it makes my face droop quite a bit. My face essentially always looks swollen and fat. It isn't cute. Please don't get fillers. I honestly would have been better off just getting a face lift. It's funny, I wanted to avoid surgery and now I essentially NEED a face lift just to get my face somewhat back where it should be, and dissolving the mess in my face is going to take a lot of money and time on top of that. Plus, my lower lip has an ass crack now. :/
Girl, don't rush it pls. Face lifts don't last long and it's recommended(i don't think you should ever do that, but even the surgeons tell that) not earlier than 45-50yrs. Its not for long, risky, painfull and you get deeper in that cycle of plastic procedures. That's the problem, we all gonna die, and getting old and wrinkly is a fuckin present of life, so i think it's dumb to try to reverse the irreversible. I hope you learn to love yourself as is
Also, being pretty isn't the only thing in life. Believe it or not, Im ugly as shit, but since i deleted insta, i'm ok with my face and body, even getting occasional compliments. Considering myself as an unconventional beauty lmao
I've seen a lot of videos talking about this topic but never heard about the cancer risk and the sagging skin problem after dissolving the filler. So thanks Stephanie 🙏
It makes sense cause one of old French super model had a surgery like that and her skin dissolved like this. She sued the hospital back then but I’m not sure it’s the same thing. It should be cause that lady mentioned about can’t get rid of some piled up fat on some parts so she wanted that process on her entire body. Now she’s not even able to go outside bc of her loose skin😨 terrifying
Locating where your filler is to get it dissolved is also a problem. If your filler has migrated, it is not easy (even for skilled plastic surgeons) to locate where the filler is and wandering around under your face. Dissolving injections are quite expensive. And you could be paying that money to get nothing dissolved, but just getting injection in wrong area. You cannot get rid of filler perfectly once you get it.
You can find a Dr that uses a ultrasound to look at where the filler is located, but it is still hard for them to inject the exact right spot and get it all the first time. It takes many rounds. It is painful and expensive.
I don't know if she got PS or if it's contouring but I hope she stops. She's so naturally beautiful, I don't understand why you would touch a face like that to begin with.
Thank you Stephanie! You're doing an invaluable job spreading information that the industry would never share. Since I've been following your work for years, I trust you, and I feel compelled to share your videos whenever I sense that someone in my circle of friends is about to fall into the trap. Three years ago, a beautiful friend of mine was approached by a cosmetic clinic to create content for their page for free, in exchange for a few injections. Luckily, she told me, and alarmed, I shared everything I knew thanks to you and the information you gather from the surgeons you follow. I'm happy to age without deforming myself. Congratulations!
my parents didnt allow me to do any makeup or even think about any plastic surgery, my dad said "until you love your body for what it is youre not allowed to do any aesthetic changes" and im forever greatful for that, now that im older, watching your videos made me realise that my parents were right, people should never feel like having to change their facial appearance, we're all a work of art and we're all beautiful
Parents need to learn from your dad. Tell him to write a book! LOL Seriously. More parents need to say these things to kids, teens and young adults, if their own parents will not. ❤
This makes so much sense! I always thought that people were getting too much because so many people had pillow face but it makes sense that it’s migrating😢
U could use some Botox though. Them forehead rolls ROUGH lol.. 😬
LOL, the irony… on a video where she’s trying to combat woman’s insecurities, you are projecting your’s onto her 😂 you should reevaluate your way of thinking and reflect. It might do you some good!
oh no! a normal human thing! how dare here skin move!!
and this my friends is part of the reason so many women fall victim to these toxic beauty standards and toxic tweakments. I have no intention of getting botox in my forehead. I'm 36 so I expect I should have some lines, and I am not ashamed of them.
@@stephanielange Lines are beautiful! It’s shows that you have lived life, a privilege that so many people don’t get.

Remember when we made fun of Victorian and Elizabethan and women from all other eras about the ridiculous lengths they’d go to to fit the beauty standard? One day they will say the same thing about us.
God, I remember when a doctors job was to cure you of an ailment.
Yeah, and like feet binding & stuff like that in other cultures. Mind you, I've always thought crippling high heels were pretty bad. I tried them & was in extreme discomfort & could never understand the masochism of it. Same with other uncomfortable clothing. I couldn't be bothered.
They can’t cure this type of dysmorphia 😂
Yes, it's exactly the same thing, and I don't think it will change going forward. People will be insecure and there will always be others profiting off that.
I personally find going through surgery to fit the beauty standard much more deranged than using corsets and padding
@@MissRedLu Without a doubt. I've had countless surgeries, one life saving, but even the minor ones are tough. No way I'd go through that for vanity.
skin is the biggest organ we have guys we need to take care of it 🙏😭

FR like do people not realize how important your skin is? And pretty much the all muscles in your face, etc. also, I love your profile picture
yes!! definitely to a certain extent, but a lot of people spend their whole life savings on products that don’t even work. The skincare industry is a scam and telling people lies, you only need certain things depending on your skin type and conditions
So basically , regardless of how much bs you can afford that other people cant,
Discipline, fostered by self love, is undefeated.
I had no idea skin was an organ so I had to google it lol. I think our skin, heart and brain esp regarding mental health are thee most important
I know body dysmorphia does crazy things to people but I still cannot wrap my brain around people thinking their lip fillers looked good.
Yeah, I can see the appeal in perfect noses, but lip filler, never
Well..when you had spent that much money, youd try to convince yourself it looks great too
Their side profile always looks like they’re doing duck lips!
And of course the front view doesn’t look too great either 😂
I can’t believe people actually thought changing their lips would magically make people more attracted to them. Never heard anyone say that girls pretty ugly but those lips are worth the risk
@@UdontknowmiI think the noses they've been getting look absolutely terrible, not perfect, I get them thinking that but it's still such an odd decision to put filler in the tip of your nose 😵💫
I am being so serious when I say that the best thing you can do for yourself if you want to look your best is to live a healthy lifestyle. Look after yourself and it wont matter what your features are, you will glow with health and others will be able to see it

Agree it’s so obvious she got filler.
Yeah, we caucasian people often have naturally thinner lips.. I want that to be more accepted..
@@elin_my bottom lip is pretty plump, but my lips/mouth are very small overall and have a quite distinct shape
Something interesting I've noticed about filler is that it seems to change the shape as well as the size. It erases the natural diversity in lip shapes. Increasing the size (outside of extremely subtle amounts) will make the inside parts of your lips that wouldn't naturally show, show.
I know there's different "styles" of doing lips to create different shapes, but it seems to me that over time as the filler settles and migrates, you lose that shape and it starts resembling all other filler lips
@@slitheen3 yeah.. I have a decently sized (probably quite thin) lower lip, but the upper one is thinner.. But I just try to live with it hahah.. Idk how I'd look like with filler
@@elin_ oh definitely. I'd look quite silly! I remember at one time after eating some very spicy but delicious mango salsa, my lips were a lil swollen from just how spicy it was and they looked kinda cute. But, I wouldn't want that all the time!! I think the diversity in our looks is a good thing. When we all look the same it becomes boring even if it looks "good"
I wanted to look like Madison Beer when I was a teenager. I envied her little nose, her full lips. I followed her on Instagram and compared myself to her all the time and cried at night because I didn't look like her. Of course I didn't have the money to get a nose job or a lip fill... THANK GOD! So one day I decided to unfollow her on Instagram along with all the other beauticians and slowly my confidence started to come back. I'm 23 now and I wouldn't change a thing about myself. I've accepted myself.
I worked at daycare at 18 and got asked by an 8 year old why I didn’t look like Madison Beer. Probably cuz I’m not Madison Beer…
Same thing! But instead of Madison Beer I really wanted to look like Kylie Jenner when I was younger. But then I started looking at videos like these and "Instagram vs reality" videos and not only I'm disgusted with everything I see, I pity that other girls get these procedures just to get a nice pic. I have started to liking myself, with all of my imperfections
Beer looks like a basic white girl.
you are the problem then, you follow her not for her music or her TALENT but for her looks, all you girls think you just need to look pretty and everything will be fine, NO! you should be comparing yourself to Madison Beer in terms of how disciplined her career was, and how talented she is, and make you want to pursue your dreams, not only looking like her ! Everyone will now blame her for looking pretty, its not her fault, some people arent born pretty, but you have to learn to accept that you can be amazing at many other things then just style and your appearance
@@margaritaloupa2598 YALL ARE BEAUTIFUL
If I was rich enough to afford fillers and plastic surgery, I would have used that money to hire a fitness trainer, nutritionist, a chef and a good therapist. We will age no matter what, rather be mentally and physically fit over just having a wrinkle free face.
Kylie Jenner looks at least 40 now, but she's only 27.

She looks older than Kim and Khloe. She's like the older sister.

Hi Stephanie! I'm a 15 year old girl and your videos help me with my confidence a lot. I love your honesty and look on things. Thanks for all you do ❤️

This is what I needed when I was 15. Just remember, today’s beauty standards are just trends that come and go. (Even though that should NOT be the case). Everyone is honestly beautiful in their own way. Cherish your natural beauty!
the most perfect and beautiful you, is the you as you were born. don't compromise your health for a trend. everyone looks different and it's so scary if everyone looks the same. it's very addictive.
Life is about love and selflove! ❤
20 years from now, we will look back and wonder wtf were people thinking doing this 😂. BBL's and facial filler are two trends I'll be happy to see end!!
People are still doing BBLs, they’re just smaller, like boob implants. They’ll never go out of “style” they just look more natural.
facial fillers will never get out of use, their purpose is to restore volume lost from aging or from genetic component. and also, body dysmorphia wont disappear, EVER. trends can change, but altering one's looks will be still popular, one way or another
You, a grown adult, don’t understand why this happening? Because society and beauty industry destroying women self esteem

SIDE NOTE*** Esthetician here 🖐🏾When doing a FACIAL if you accidentally touch someone’s hair you have to change your gloves. For a noninvasive FACIAL! ! AND AT @3:57 ! The injector touched her hair and went straight back into injecting her lips!!!!!🤮🤮🤮🤢
good on you for caring
Yikes! 🤢
I noticed that too and it made me shudder lol
The under eye filler in bubbles was shocking!
that's not filler it's a different thing for different reasons
Yeah, i think it's skinvive or something like that. A hydrator, not a filler. At the same time though, it's new and "the next big thing" so a grain of salt is needed
That wasn’t filler. The procedure is called Mesotherapy. They inject biostimulators made of hyaluronic acid (but not the thick kind like filler), peptides, vitamins, exozomes, &/or polynucleotide that dissolve within hours or a couple days depending on the product and your skin. It’s extremely safe as long as it’s a legit product & you’re not allergic. It’s ingredients we use on our skin in topicals, just purer & sterile so safe to inject into the skin to moisturize, build collagen, etc.
I should clarify, the ingredients I listed above are safe. There are some Mesotherapy products that do have a light filler (cross-linked HA) in them or other ingredients called PCL, PLA, PLLA or PDLLA that can cause vascular occlusion if they are injected into a vein but they are safe also as long as the injector aspirates & is educated. Not sure if the ones with cross-linked HA hang around forever like regular HA filler can. They aren’t meant to hold shape the way filler does though. As far as I know they actually do fully dissolve after a bit.
@@VegasTiff cross-linked HA IS FILLER and doesnt matter what other ingredients are, it still behaves like a filler. also, fillers are different. some fillers are more viscoelastic and some are more fuild. ofc those more fluid and less dense are easier for body to dissolve. each filler serves different purposes. the harder ones are to volumize for example cheeks and stay in place, retaining their original shape, and soft ones fill for example under eyes. if a mesotherapy vial contains for example 12mg/ml filler, and normal fillers contain typically 24, it still behaves the same. u just need twice as much for the same filling effect. id avoid skin boosters with fillers tho, cause u cant be sure what kind of filler you're getting there, producers dont specify that.
i’ve always found wrinkles, smile lines, and any other facial aspects beautiful because it displays how much you’ve laughed, cried, and just shows the story of human life throughout one’s face. taking that all away with plastic surgery and filler is almost like taking away someone’s life story, its sad. do i have facial insecurities? absolutely. but we’re all made the way we are for a reason, we’re all meant to look different from one another and plastic surgery just rips that away from us.

You know how maybe 15 years ago all of these celebs were coming out and saying they regretted over plucking their eyebrows in the 90s/early 2000s? Because they can’t get them to grow back? This is analogous to that - but sooo much worse. Beauty trends are crap! Just be your natural, beautiful self!
I feel like the med spas knew better.
Great analogy!
I wonder if the Elizabethians who plucked their hairline super high regretted it when the trend changed 🤔 I’m imagining it had to happen to a few people even if you account for slower transfer of info and therefore slower transfer of things like fashion trends. I hope it was big hats that were in next so that nobody got too upset
Ummm that is nothing like permanently disfiguring your entire physique. Over-plucked eyebrows are purely aesthetic, nobody really notices it besides the person with the eyebrows. EVERYONE notices a fucked up, fake ass pillow face
So much worse than eyebrows
i don’t understand getting SO upset about filler accusations. if someone accused me of that, i would laugh it off. these celebrities SUING over filler speculation speaks VOLUMES
That's a great filler pun at the end there.
It is insane. Suing over that 😮
they’re not even suing!! just threatening it!! the threat of litigation means jack shit when there’s no follow through!! if they ACTUALLY didn’t get work done, they’d go to litigation, they can’t however, as the evidence of them having gotten work done is piled high!
Right? I'd take it as a compliment if my face was so naturally pretty people thought I'd got fillers. Or I'd just laugh it off. Going on the defensiveness says so much!
i naturally have very full cheek look like over filled, I have been called fake and plastic. I feel her anger because I feel the same way
22:53 that explains why she started looking like that. Once people start to get them dissolved they don’t look like they used to. They look old and like they lost a bunch of weight rapidly but only in their face.
They will probably just run out and get more fillers anyways.

Schools can teach whatever they want, but ultimately it’s the parents’ responsibility to take care of their own children and teach them about things like this (and not pay for the fillers being injected into a 15 y.o.’s face).

It was also deeply reassuring to see ugly and boring people on TV back then too. I don't want to be constantly looking at people who make me feel bad about myself, and I think it's fascinating that this kind of self harm is so addictive. We know full well that looking at perfect people does damage to our self esteem, but we won't watch movies without them.
Seeing more and more people call normal teeth "disgusting" for not being perfectly white, people laughing at anyone who wasn't model beautiful... it's quite hard to blame the media, we had so much choice and we chose this. It's nice to see it be rejected a little, but I don't think it's more than just another current changing in beauty standards, like tans, like butt size, we just get a little bored and flock to the next pretty standout and declare that this time, this is the true beauty. I don't think we've learned a thing.
What gets me is that majority of people aren’t even ugly!!!! They just need to drink an extra bottle of water, or moisturize or get a haircut. Even trimming your eyebrows will change your entire appearance YOU DONT NEED FILLERSSSSS!!!!!!!
Can I ask how you trim your brows?
Yeah ,non of them actually. But the wealthy ones definitely had their brows, makeup and hair done, so they decided the only thing left to do is fillers.
@@khadijammhmm6673 yea and having a good diet which will definately help to clear skin
Working out and gaining muscle does a lot.
Can confirm, I have caterpillar brows and always feel gorgeous when I pluck the excess away. Just work with what you have and people will find you beautiful in their own way.
Its not just the volume of filler that's expanding the face. If its blocking lymphatic system, its keeping all the fluid that should otherwise been drained in the skin and you'll literally be swollen. You'll be creating a situation similar to a health condition called lymphedima. If you are going to keep your face swollen for years, the skin is ofcourse going to stretch out and sag.
Just screw beauty standards all toghether. Eat well. Go on walks. Don't overwork yourself. Put value not in your looks but in your brains.
I don't see anything wrong with valuing your own beauty. It's wrong to value other people's beauty and measure them against your own.
And character! 🩷
And most importantly, WEAR SUNSCREEN.

I think it’s because UA-cam is being a PAIN in the ass and you can’t say something a bit « harsh » in the few first minutes or you’ll get instantly demonetised and shadow banned
it's because of youtuber's ridiculous censorship
I think it's so people keep watching the video. The same clip is shown without censor later on
If I want a typical pillow face, I simply have to drink a couple of beers the night before. Cheap and reversible.
Hehe if anyone wants it that bad they can cry all night about it and their face will be nice and puffy the next day 😆
Facts…let me eat some salty takeout, drink some alcohol, be PMSing, and I’ll be puffy for the next week

Give me a few margaritas and some crab rangoon and I'll be even more puffy then these girls tomorrow
Does cocacola works the same?
I cant drink booze

Yup 💯 😂

Amen 🙌
I do use filler on the right side of my face (done by a plastic surgeon). I had half of my face shattered in an accident. While I have a plate to hold up my eye, the fillers have helped my eye even with the other eye and rebuild my cheek. Because of that, I’m not going to bash it. But yes, there’s too much of it going on faces that don’t need it.
With respect, what about your lymph node system? Is it worth destroying your immune system? Did your doctor discuss that eventuality with you? Just curious
I’ve had it for vanity and insecurity reasons . It’s been two years since I last had it and it’s deffo still there . Trying not to panic rn ❤
Well this sounds like a very valid reason to get it.. much different than a girl who just wants to look like all the other girls on Instagram.
Sorry about your accident 💕
@@Shannon_710 it doesn’t matter why you get it really, I don’t have Instagram or any of that . I just had a crappy life and a boyfriend who made me feel like 💩about myself when I started it . At the end of the day the main issue is being lied to and being told yet again sth is safe and effective and oh look it’s not . And yeah judge me all you like and approve of others reasons, it doesn’t affect me that’s your opinion , cool . However, the fact that someone who has had such a trauma as the OP , now has to worry potentially this could have become cancer, well that’s unacceptable imho
For this I am glad for technology and that you are able to get the services that you have 🙌🏻🙏🏻
Hi Stephanie, I’m a 13 year old girl, soon to be 14, and I just want to say THANK YOU so much for the content you make. I’ve only been watching you for a little bit now, but the confidence boost you’ve given me means a lot. I really mean it. Especially as someone who has really big lips, a huge insecurity of mine is their size (they’re also two-toned), but watching this video definitely made me feel good about myself because there are people who will pay to make their lips bigger (I hope that doesn’t sound rude). You are so sweet and beautiful. Thank you for all the videos you make :D.
I'd recommend looking into other cultures' beauty standards, too. You might be surprised to find out that something you feel insecure about was "the next hot thing" 500 years ago or if you take a 20-hour flight. It also puts into perspective how silly it can all be.
I got bullied about my full lips as a child. At around the same time that full lips became desirable, mine deflated. Stay true to yourself and most of all enjoy your youth. Use sunscreen religiously.
Two toned lips are gorgeous! Brown upper lip with a pink bottom lip type? So pretty
AHHHH THERES NO WAY YOU HEARTED MY COMMENT TSYMM
It’s so weird because I was your age 10 years ago. I was insecure because how tiny my lips were (are). And would photoshop my lips imaging the day I get lip fillers.
The media always makes young girls insecure, because they want your money. That’s what I believe
Saved me from going through with the procedure, thank you this made me love my face and appreciate what I already have. 🙏🏼
I rejected lip filler while pregnant - old filler began oozing out of my lips through constant cold sore like wounds. They were inflamed, painful, and literally the worst part of my 1st pregnancy. But here I was considering getting them again. So, thank you, for making me reconsider and shake my head at all the bullshit that comes along with fillers
Your lips cleaning house! :)
nurse injector here- you should never get filler or botox while pregnant as there are no studies to show if effects baby or not. sorry to hear you had a bad experience... sounds really painful!!
Thats what i was thinking!! If they warn about not dying your hair while pregnant, how could injecting foreign substances into your body without effecting the baby?!@@nataliehall346
That sounds so painful. 😞
@@nataliehall346she never said she got lip filler while pregnant. She said she rejected OLD filler. And the word you're looking for is "affect," not "effect."

As a surgical tech that assisted in plastic and burn surgeries and personally had 11 surgeries (non-cosmetic), I cannot stress enough how important it is to avoid ALL surgeries unless truly medically necessary! Our bodies were absolutely NOT designed to have anything added to it or removed. Every time you penetrate your skin - the body's first line of defense - it triggers a healing process that effects the ENTIRE BODY!
I'm not kidding yall. My entire education is based on surgical technology and the body's healing process. Please take this a professional advice from an expert in their field.
I specialized in complex neurosurgery. When i became disabled and informed i need a pain pump and nerve stimulator, i immediately said h3ll no. I have performed those EXACT surgeries on others and implanted these same devices. If a neurosurgical tech is refusing the same procedures neurosurgeons prescribe to patients, that is a major sign.
If a scrub nurse that has performed hundreds of plastic surgeries from reconstruction of botched cases to initial implants and "mommy makeovers" is refusing to have plastic surgery - TAKE THAT AS A SIGN!!
Best comment! I’d give you all 10 fingers up if I could…😊
I hope the world has been treating you kindly, being disabled. It must be so difficult to process.
Honestly I would rather risk it all than to look ugly.
Thank you for your honesty
Why did you say no?
No one got scammed. Common sense should have kicked in.
I'll be honest, it really wasn't a scam. It was absolutely people feeling pressured and the beauty industry once again taking advantage of how medically illiterate the average person is, especially when it comes to cosmetic surgery.
“Common sense” is an oxymoron. good sense isn’t common.

Glad my mom instilled in me that pretty isn't the only thing. She really pushed for values like working hard, being smart, personal accomplishments, creativity. So even when I did feel insecure about my looks I was able to move past it because I had other ways I believed in myself.
This!!
Ваша мама хорошо вас воспитала
Yes exactly!! It's nice to like the way you look, but my appearance it's the least interesting and least important thing about me. I'd much rather be kind, compassionate, and caring than pretty (and pretty by whose standards anyway???)
Same and I'm so glad she did. She kept saying I was beautiful and enough. And she reminded me that beautiful comes in all shapes and sizes, how confidence is pretty too and how being proud of your accomplishments makes you shine. How following your passion is something people will admire. And being a kind and welcoming person will be inviting to more kind souls.
And even though as a teenager with raging hormones I really didn't believe her at the time, her comments stuck with me forever. I didn't believe it then, but I remembered it.
And when I got older and topics like fillers and plastic surgery became a topic I rejected them immediately because of what she told me. I knew I was enough. I'm eternally grateful.
THIS! My parents would get on to my grandparents for calling me “pretty” all the time and would tell them in front of me that I am smart, strong, courageous, and creative. Now that I have an impressionable little girl, I always am telling her the same things my parents told me. Beauty is more than how you look, and I want my daughter to have that instilled on her own principles
I hope you're right when you say " filler is over".
I couldn't watch those weird puffy faces anymore. I can't take them seriously. They faces don't move, you can't tell if they're sad or happy.
Please accept your body, your face and your age. I'm sure you're beautiful!
It's the worst watching movies now with actors/actresses with obvious fillers. Their faces don't even move 😭😭 they can't even emote for the scene!
This is why us early 40 yr olds look so young. Botox and fillers weren't even a thought back then. Eyebrow waxing, lipgloss and a good eyeshadow was it. You're young, that's the best skin of your life. Over 35 is a different beast lol. Enjoy the youthful glow and leave your faces alone until you actually age and then make that decision. Its not needed at all when you're that young
thank you so much. im 16 and ive been saying for years "the first thing im going to do when i work is get lip filler". youve SAVED me thank you so much
Omg plz don't get work 😭
Save for a house!
please don't get botox either!
Beauty products goal is to get you use more beauty products. Learn ingredients & only buy what your face needs, not what someone else is using. And the less ingredients in a product, the better.
GIRL UR FUCKING GORGEOUS NO MATTER WHAT, trust me you are. uniqueness makes BEAUTY.
Tbh I feel like so many people just overdo everything. My doctor has a degree in medicine and plastic surgery. She explained EXACTLY how every type of filler worked in SUCH detail that it actually scared me 🤣
What stood out to me is once you get it, it doesn’t get absorbed like everyone says. It just moves around and it’s your DOCTOR’S RESPONSIBILITY to reposition it INSTEAD OF GIVING YOU MORE!

It's a no-win game: either women are chastised for being ugly (per current standards) or chastised for trying to fix their appearance (because they eere targeted for being ugly).
💯 agree
I don't think anyone chastised these celebrities.
@@marielle7505 i think the comment was targetting the everyday people who have bad comments get under their skin and try to flush them out with filler.
@marielle7505 for sure someone somewhere did. For sure.
Literally!!! Now that I know this it’s why I don’t see the point in (knowingly) taking risks for beauty. I can’t win, none of us can. So why actively participate in a game I didn’t sign up for?
Love the face you have. I hated my cupid's bow lips as everyone was getting these plump grub-like rounded cartoony lips. I hated the points on my lips so much that I seriously considered filler just to smooth out those points. Now everyone is getting their filler dissolved or regretting it, and my heart goes out to them, but I am so SO glad I did not get filler done.
Just over line them ❤
Why does Madison deny that she got plastic surgery? Just so people can praise her all the time? 😂 I laugh so much when celebrities' lies about plastic surgery are exposed. Yes, I looked at Madison's younger pictures and she is really pretty. She just has thin lips and she is so worried about it. And she made a complex out of it and lied to herself and people. I will never understand why celebrities are like this.
Because they don’t wanna accept that they naturally aren’t the fantasy that they think they are they are. They aspire to be an ultimate beauty. And to think that that’s not real would crush them. So they lie to us in an effort to convince themselves.
@@SocialExperiment232 You explained it very well and correctly. Or they might do it to make us feel Insecure and inadequate. And when they finally get exposed like this, it's funny.
Celebrities tend to have very fragile egos that need to be reassured constantly that they are as wonderful as they want to believe they are.
All bout $$$$$ n manipulation
I totally agree. I think celebrities have extra pressure on them since they have so many eyes in them, so they want to protect themselves from people talking about how ugly they are, etc. but in lying to the rest of us about what they may or may not have done, it keeps pushing this unattainable beauty standard. It’s sad
In my opinion, it’s not over nor will it ever be due to ageism and unrealistic expectations on appearance (primarily due to social media). However, I do think people are making more subtle modifications and doctors are getting better at making it look more natural. It seems people are using it more so to complement their existing features rather than to completely change/alter existing ones.
The best work is the kind of work you don’t notice 😅
yeah this is the first iteration of it.
When we're old the surgery will be really good and you won't even be able to tell
Its still destroying you though beneath it
Yeah I still plan on redoing mine. But I get the tiniest amount to fill a a couple lines and it’s all done by a board certified plastic surgeon. It just makes me feel more confident. 🤷🏻♀️

same it made my skin crawl 😵💫
I mean my skin has always been like that due to EDS.... My dad's is like that too! And neither of us has ever thought of doing injection of anything, and just injecting nothing whatsoever 😂
That happens with aging, especially thin skin, which is usually caucasian.
That happens to my 80 year old grandma. I would freak out if it happens even to a 50 year old lady.
Is there even any surgical procedure to reverse that? Terrifying
i’ve wanted fillers for ages due to insecurities but i’ve always had this nagging feeling that they had to be bad for you somehow. the nagging feeling was small enough for me to put off getting them, but only because it felt like something i should wait til i have more disposable income for- but stil, the nagging was enough for me to put it off for many years… lets just say after watching this, i am VERY grateful for that nagging voice
this is all so scary. these poor people were lied to so badly. always question trends and who stands to benefit from them. it’s never the consumer.
I wish people would just be more comfortable in how they look naturally. Obviously we all have insecurities, but we’re naturally beautiful and unique. These surgeries are making everyone look like clones.
Natural beauty is true beauty. It is good to accentuate your positives...not OVERINFLATE!
Being poor saves you from making awful decisions like these Haha. it's possible to delay aging and reverse a LOT naturally just through Microneedling. No procedure that I have done in my life was as helpful as the high-quality derma pen I got for around 100$
What dermapen did you get?
Could you tell us which derma pen you used please ? and can you please explain how did it help and why? Thanks for the comment by the way!
Yeah sure, during the years I have tried almost everything to look younger + delay aging, especially after losing that amount of weight, like face exercises, vitamin C serum, Fraxel, collagen supplements and of course Retin A (7 years straight), home devices and what not. I swear, Nothing made any real difference compared to microneedling. Within 3 months of use, my skin has improved DRAMATICALLY. I don't look like I'm 20's again, but definitely not 44 either. My fine lines have disappeared completely, and my nasolabial folds are way less are nonexist (never had jowls though). People often underestimate the power of wounding and the revolutionary effects it can have on the skin
@@Daniellemcdd the Pen your talking about KorabeauticaIs v2?? right??
Yes, that's the one
I’ve actually always wanted a little lip filler. This video has changed my mind! I did NOT know that “dissolving” filler could have those side effects! I am never doing any filler now!! Thank you!!!
There simply aren't enough conclusive studies yet - we don't fully know the effects of filler decades later. There have been really interesting studies lately, but no conclusive results yet. It seems pretty well established that the product dissolves some collagen along with the filler, and that's a big deal as you age (the number one thing people do to look youthful is treatments to boost collagen production), which is why a lot of people end up looking much older once they get them dissolved.
I an colombian, i grew up around these procedures like they were candy in a candy shop, in fact, i was offered by my own mom a boob job. I have always stayed as far away as possible from any plastic procedure because i grew up seeing my mom suffer through the recovering after these things, as well as how after a while things move and dont look the way they did at first. I would say i grew up around ny cautitory tale
Ahh, that's wild. It can't imagine it'd be a pleasant feeling to be offered a boob job by your own mother :(
I think we need a MASSIVE lesson on narcissism. Group narcisssm. Narcissistic society structures devised by Narcissistic people. How anti-natural narcissism is (I/we can do better than nature itself).
I’m so happy that I was always too poor for this kind of stuff. I just turned 28 and if there’s something I’ve noticed it is that more and more I like the way my face looks. Those wrinkles? Good! That nose? I love it! And lips? Yeah, I like them the way they are.
Thank you Stephanie for always reminding us that we are perfect the way we are 🖤

@@Jess90150 Legit, I’m 28 in a few months and this comment panicked me. Please tell me I shouldn’t expect wrinkles anytime soon 😭
Same. I don't even have the disposable income to get my hair and nails done on a regular basis, let alone Botox and fillers!
The older I get, the happier I am with my looks. Even though socially I am getting "uglier" as I age. I used to be fit and think I was too big, and fat even though I was lean and muscular. Now I'm actually fat and I think, "I don't look too bad!" lol
I might've despised my face in my 20's but thank God, it never crossed my mind to inject some poison in it. My mom kept calling me beautiful even when I didn't believe her, guess it did work in the long run. It's insane how normalized this stuff is, so glad creators like you are speaking up.
I’ve never had fillers and I always thought that they looked horrible. I’m so glad this trend is coming to an end. Those with insecurities as strong as that need therapy. I have naturally full lips and my friends used to make fun of me when we were younger.

Hey, I'm 46, trust me, ur on the right path. I used to be someone too insecure to leave the house make up free so definitely would've fallen for these procedures had they existed in the 90s. The more u say Eff Off to this bs the happier & healthier you will be. It's all about supporting the cosmetic industy, absolutely nothing else. And anyone who criticises your appearance really needs to a)get a life & b)grow up - such criticism is a sign of immaturity- throw that in their direction! 💙
Sometimes not everyone will be kind about your health journey and they will pick at you with anything they can. I’m sorry they really suck❤ you did a great job go you 👏🏻
I was not even 20 yet when I was recommended botox for my supposed wrinkles and not even a year later I was recommended fillers by a different doctor. Thankfully I had enough common sense not to listen to these "advice".
the only thing that matter is health, if our body working properly thats enough, why we should play with our bodies just because of comments
The other thing I think, is that these people know they've made themselves look "giant" with their fillers.
Honestly they look like king Tutankhamen, and they know it, and it hurts. So when they see natural humans they lose it and have to ruin others too, because then they can reassure themselves they did the right thing.
I love your content Stephanie, I’m particularly ugly and honestly no amount of plastic surgery can make it better I haven’t been blessed with beauty and I have realized I have to come to terms with it and live with it. Men have always treated me awfully and never let me feel like I deserve to live because I am simply ugly. I keep thinking of easy fixes but your videos keep me from making bigger mistakes ❤ thank you
I’m sure you’re a very beautiful human being. Difference of looks makes us unique and does not divide us into better and worse rank. You are as beautiful and worthy of a person as anyone else here on Earth. Remember that.
Find something you do well: in the arts, sports, a hobby, craft, volunteer to help others, or acquire domestic skills (like being a whiz in the kitchen or sewing) There's a whole world you can conquer! Appreciate your skills, intelligence, or innate kindness. Be your best self.
I think you just don't fit the standard of beauty. I doubt you are as you say you are. You are beautiful. Take care of your skin, just cleanse and moisturize. Wear clothes that compliment and accentuate your body type. Accessorize. But most importantly, express yourself. Be you. And nothing is more beautiful than that, I guarantee you. You have the gift you say you don't. I know it, stranger.

I just turned 31 this September and I have to say, I am SO HAPPY I didn’t fall down the filler rabbit hole in my early 20s like a lot of my friends did. I look at least five years younger than the rest of them. While they Sit around talking about what procedure they want next because they are never fully satisfied, I am happier than I’ve ever been with my appearance and have never been complimented more. Confidence in yourself and knowing who you are radiates. And if you do feel the need to get fillers, go to a reputable plastic surgeon. NOT a med spa. For the love of god.

And especially wanting it that young, your face isn't even finished developing. Obviously all of us change slightly over time, but those changes come fast and furious when you're younger. How you look at 17 is not how you'll look at even 20, much less 24.
This is LA in general, especially Beverly Hills. It started there.
it took me a reaaaalllly long time to decide on whether i should get lip fillers & i finally did when i was 24. i already have pretty full lips, so i only ever get like half a syringe every 2 yrs or so to help w/ wrinkles. it’s the only filler i’ll ever get (always at a reputable medical facility by professionals!!!) but this made me rethink so heavily…like i’d rather live with wrinkly lips than get cancer!!!
ty so much for always being real in ur videos!! being informed & comfortable in your skin is so so so important!!!!
Whoever thought Kylie's face changed just through puberty.. y'all better check your ceilings to see if a certain word is written ALL over it.
We can hardly expect kids under the age of 15 or so to have the life experience to know that lips don’t change due to puberty.

I'm 32 and filler is one of my biggest regrets. I look much older than I would have otherwise. My jowl lines are way more pronounced and it makes my face droop quite a bit. My face essentially always looks swollen and fat. It isn't cute. Please don't get fillers. I honestly would have been better off just getting a face lift. It's funny, I wanted to avoid surgery and now I essentially NEED a face lift just to get my face somewhat back where it should be, and dissolving the mess in my face is going to take a lot of money and time on top of that. Plus, my lower lip has an ass crack now. :/
Girl, don't rush it pls. Face lifts don't last long and it's recommended(i don't think you should ever do that, but even the surgeons tell that) not earlier than 45-50yrs. Its not for long, risky, painfull and you get deeper in that cycle of plastic procedures. That's the problem, we all gonna die, and getting old and wrinkly is a fuckin present of life, so i think it's dumb to try to reverse the irreversible. I hope you learn to love yourself as is
Also, being pretty isn't the only thing in life. Believe it or not, Im ugly as shit, but since i deleted insta, i'm ok with my face and body, even getting occasional compliments. Considering myself as an unconventional beauty lmao
I'm so glad my mother is a natural beauty, and always told me I'm beautiful. Filler and plastic surgery never appealed to me.
Same! My mom taught me early on about good skincare, and I’ve taken it to heart.
I've seen a lot of videos talking about this topic but never heard about the cancer risk and the sagging skin problem after dissolving the filler. So thanks Stephanie 🙏
It makes sense cause one of old French super model had a surgery like that and her skin dissolved like this. She sued the hospital back then but I’m not sure it’s the same thing.
It should be cause that lady mentioned about can’t get rid of some piled up fat on some parts so she wanted that process on her entire body. Now she’s not even able to go outside bc of her loose skin😨 terrifying
I think the cancer risk is due to lymphatic blockages.
Locating where your filler is to get it dissolved is also a problem. If your filler has migrated, it is not easy (even for skilled plastic surgeons) to locate where the filler is and wandering around under your face. Dissolving injections are quite expensive. And you could be paying that money to get nothing dissolved, but just getting injection in wrong area. You cannot get rid of filler perfectly once you get it.
You can find a Dr that uses a ultrasound to look at where the filler is located, but it is still hard for them to inject the exact right spot and get it all the first time. It takes many rounds. It is painful and expensive.
Dissolver also can’t differentiate between filler and your own natural hulauronic acid so it’ll deflate your face a bit to boot
this makeup suits u so well, i love it sm
Someone needs to give this memo to Sabrina Carpenter.
I don't know if she got PS or if it's contouring but I hope she stops. She's so naturally beautiful, I don't understand why you would touch a face like that to begin with.
@@jahan-l9lShe looks like an average blonde girl
She looks normal to me?
@jahanb2002 I agree, she’s so beautiful and hopefully this contouring/filler thing is just a brief phase for her.
@DominikZagar she looks fine but she doesn’t look like herself anymore. The cheek fillers seem especially out of control.
Thank you Stephanie! You're doing an invaluable job spreading information that the industry would never share. Since I've been following your work for years, I trust you, and I feel compelled to share your videos whenever I sense that someone in my circle of friends is about to fall into the trap. Three years ago, a beautiful friend of mine was approached by a cosmetic clinic to create content for their page for free, in exchange for a few injections. Luckily, she told me, and alarmed, I shared everything I knew thanks to you and the information you gather from the surgeons you follow. I'm happy to age without deforming myself. Congratulations!
my parents didnt allow me to do any makeup or even think about any plastic surgery, my dad said "until you love your body for what it is youre not allowed to do any aesthetic changes" and im forever greatful for that, now that im older, watching your videos made me realise that my parents were right, people should never feel like having to change their facial appearance, we're all a work of art and we're all beautiful
Omg what a brilliant statement, they were very smart to tell you that ❤
Parents need to learn from your dad. Tell him to write a book! LOL Seriously. More parents need to say these things to kids, teens and young adults, if their own parents will not. ❤
The best advice!
This makes so much sense! I always thought that people were getting too much because so many people had pillow face but it makes sense that it’s migrating😢
