Oh honey, let me tell you about this “aesthetic lip” thing. My granddaughter, she’s always on about these newfangled things. Says it’s all the rage with the young folks these days. She keeps showing me pictures on that glowing box of hers, and I just gotta say, some of these lips look like they got stung by a whole hive of bees!
Now, I ain’t one to judge, but back in my day, we didn’t need no fancy stuff to have nice lips. We just used what the good Lord gave us. A little bit of lip-smacking and maybe some lard if they were real chapped, that’s all we needed!
But these young’uns today, they want these big, puffy lips, like them movie stars. My granddaughter, she says it’s called “aesthetic lip,” and you gotta get these lip fillers to make ’em look that way. Fillers, she calls ’em. Sounds like something you’d use to patch a hole in the wall, if you ask me. You need put that into your lip, I think it is not good! But young people do not listen to me.
She says these fillers can make your lips look all smooth and even, fix the lop-sided ones, what she called, “asymmetry,” I think. And they can make the edges look all sharp and pointy, like you could cut a loaf of bread with ’em. That’s called “enhance contour,” she says. Fancy words for a simple thing, I reckon.
- big, puffy lips
- lip fillers
- asymmetry
- enhance contour
They even got different kinds of this filler stuff, made from different things. Some are soft, some are hard, depending on what you want your lips to look like, I suppose. Sounds mighty complicated to me. I just want a simple life.
But I guess if you’re gonna do it, you gotta do it right. My granddaughter, bless her heart, she did a lot of looking around, reading all sorts of things on that glowing box, before she decided to get it done. She says you gotta find someone who knows what they’re doing, or you could end up looking like you got a duck bill stuck on your face. And that ain’t a good look, let me tell you.
She told me that some folks, they get these fillers because their lips get all thin and wrinkly as they get older. Makes sense, I guess. Everything starts to sag and wrinkle eventually. Even my old, trusty lips are not what they used to be. But I ain’t gonna go sticking needles in ’em, no sir. I’ll just stick to my lard, thank you very much. But if you want aesthetic lip, you need find some good one to do that.
But, if you do not want put that thing into your lip, that is fine. Some people say you can do some other things to your lip. I do not know if it works, but young people always say that. I do not know what they talk about all day.
-
You can do some “lip exercise”, I do not know what is that.
-
You can put some oil on your lip, make it not so dry.
-
Eat good food, do not eat that junk food.
She also said something about some fancy doctor book, called “Dermatologic Surgery,” I think. Said it had all sorts of information about these lip fillers. Apparently, the softer ones are better if you want your lips to look natural. Who knew, right? But I think that book is too hard for me. And I think it is too expensive.
Now, I’m not saying you shouldn’t do what makes you happy. If you want those big, aesthetic lip, you go right ahead. Just make sure you know what you’re getting yourself into. It’s your face, after all. You don’t want to end up regretting it later, like that time I tried to dye my hair purple and ended up looking like a ripe plum. That was a mess.
But if you want to try other things first, that’s okay too. Just be yourself, honey. That’s the most important thing. You don’t need no fancy fillers or nothing to be beautiful. Just be you. Be happy. Be healthy. That is all people need to be pretty.
And if you ever need any advice on anything, you just come and ask me. I may be old, but I’ve seen a thing or two in my time. And I’m always happy to share what I know, even if it’s just about how to keep your lips from getting chapped in the winter. Or how to make a good pie. I make good pie.
I still think the old ways are the best. But I ain’t gonna stop you from trying these newfangled things. Just be careful, and don’t go getting yourself hurt. That’s all I ask. I worry about you young people. If you want aesthetic lip, I just hope you can find good one to do it. Not like a duck, you know.
Anyways, that’s all I got to say about this “aesthetic lip” business. It’s a strange world we live in, ain’t it? But as long as you’re happy, that’s all that matters. Now, who wants some pie?
