Everyone has a feature that they like. Even if they have low self esteem and think of themselves as ugly, usually they can still say, ‘My favourite feature is my eyes’ or ‘I like my complexion.’ In my case, it’s always been my lips. I’ve always had great heart shape lips ala Marilyn Monroe and they’ve even been a spectacular shade of natural ruby.
As I got older, my lips started to get thinner and I started to become very dissatisfied with my appearance. It was the first time I’d experienced real debilitating self consciousness. I felt like a freak and was so depressed that I’d stay home and cry. That’s when I discovered lip fillers. Bendigo and Melbourne have got clinics that can do lip enhancement treatments to suit any needs. I did it for my looks, sure, but I also did it for my sense of self worth, which was seriously diminished. What they do is they use lip fillers to plump up the appearance of the lips and give them their original shape. Over time my lips had sort of deflated, and they looked stretched and scrawny. I looked a little bit like a crow. Lipstick didn’t work the way it used it, it just gave the appearance of a horrible red gash where my mouth should be. But since getting the lip enhancements, lipstick actually has the effect it’s supposed to have. My lips are fuller and they look almost the same as they used to thanks to the lip injections. Melbourne clinicians really can work wonders with modern technology.
Once again, I can say that my lips are my best feature. I’ve event started modelling in fashion magazines for older women. It’s important to age gracefully I say, rather than letting yourself go. You earn so much more respect for it and people treat you with the dignity that you deserve.
