I’ve always longed for fuller lips, ever since Angelina Jolie hit our movie screens back in the 90s. But since I hit my 40s, I’ve watched my lips gradually shrivel away as my collagen levels have dropped. Top lip? What’s that?!
Aside from the fact that smaller lips lack the youthfulness of a fuller pout, my lips have been consistently dry, dehydrated, cracked, and peeling for several years, no matter how much lip butter I slather them with on an hourly basis. In short, my pout was nothing to shout about. But I was still scared to go down the injectables route – I’ve seen too many bad lip filler jobs in my time – and I’ve been put off even more now that figures for people having their lip filler removed have reached an all-time high.
