The lips, along with the eyes, are among the most defining features of the face. Full, well-shaped lips are often seen as key elements of feminine beauty. While individual tastes and fashion trends may vary, certain aesthetic principles are important when considering lip enhancement.
Lips are a vital aspect of facial harmony.
Achieving the right balance is crucial. Ideally, the lower lip should be fuller than the upper lip, with a ratio of 1.6 to 1. The height of the lips should complement the width of the mouth, with the central portion of the lips being slightly thicker than the sides. Additionally, the distance from the upper lip to the nose, as well as from the lower lip to the chin, plays a role in achieving a balanced appearance. Symmetry is essential, and a well-defined Cupid's bow can enhance the overall look of the lips.
Lips anatomy and proportion
The size of the lips should be carefully evaluated in relation to other facial features, particularly the eyes and nose, to maintain overall harmony. The profile view is also crucial. Behind the lips lies a supportive structure formed by the teeth and gums, which naturally causes the lips to project forward and upward as their volume increases. If too much filler is used, this projection can reduce the angle between the lips and nose, leading to an unnatural appearance. To avoid this, it's important to achieve a balanced enhancement that complements your facial structure.
For a balanced and aesthetically pleasing appearance, the lips should be in harmony with the rest of the facial features.
Lip Lift
As we age, the distance between the upper lip and the nose tends to lengthen due to the loss of skin elasticity and the weakening of perioral tissues. This causes the upper lip to curve inward, becoming thinner and more elongated, which can diminish its youthful appeal. Additionally, the corners of the mouth may begin to droop, creating an unintended angry or stern expression.
A lip lift is a simple surgical procedure that can significantly enhance facial aesthetics.
A lip lift surgery involves lifting the upper lip by removing a small, elliptical section of skin just beneath the nose. The result is a more youthful and attractive lip shape with increased visible fullness.
Another option, the corner lip lift, focuses on elevating the corners of the mouth for a more balanced and pleasing expression.
Both techniques are minimally invasive, taking about an hour to complete. Performed under local anesthesia, they do not require hospital admission. Recovery is typically quick, with patients often experiencing highly satisfying results.
Many women choose to enhance the volume and fullness of their lips to boost their overall attractiveness. Lip augmentation is a popular option for women of all ages —whether to restore lost volume and achieve a more youthful appearance, or simply to make a subtle enhancement for a more defined and beautiful look.
This can be easily accomplished with hyaluronic acid fillers, which are injected into the lips in a quick and straightforward procedure. The treatment is both effective and affordable.
Hyaluronic acid lip fillers offer a safe and affordable way to enhance your lips.
Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring molecule in the skin that creates volume by retaining water. In aesthetic medicine, we use a lab-synthesized version of this molecule, identical to what your body produces. Because of this, the filler is safe and free of adverse reactions when administered by a qualified specialist.
The effects of hyaluronic acid lip fillers typically last up to one year.
The procedure itself is quick and painless, taking just a few minutes to complete. After the filler is applied, patients can immediately return to their normal routines. Since the filler is naturally absorbed by the body over time, the results are not permanent. The longevity of the effects can vary depending on the density of the product used, the amount injected, and the specific area treated.
The lips are naturally framed by the nasolabial folds, the corners of the mouth, the chin, and the base of the nose. While this area typically presents no issues in younger patients, aging often leads to a loss of volume not only in the lips but also in the surrounding areas like the upper lip, corners of the mouth, and chin. This can result in wrinkles and expression lines that contribute to an aged appearance. Simply rejuvenating the lips without addressing these surrounding areas can create an imbalance, giving the lips a youthful look while the rest of the face still appears aged.
For a more harmonious result, it’s often advisable to rejuvenate the entire perioral area. Treatments may include hyaluronic acid fillers, Botox, fractional CO2 laser, platelet-rich fibrin (PRF), nanofat injections, and/or radiofrequency microneedling. Our medical team will evaluate your unique case and tailor the most appropriate treatment plan to achieve a balanced, youthful appearance.
