What determines the lip fullness?

- more appealing smile
- sign of genetic quality
- improves kissing skills

What determines the lip fullness?
1. Genetics
- Self explanitory
- Some individuals may have genetically inherited fuller lips, while others may have thinner lips due to their genetic makeup. Genetics determine the lip musculature.
- Collagen and hyaluronic acid are substances present in the skin that contribute to its structure and volume.
- Higher levels of collagen and hyaluronic acid in the lips can result in increased fullness.
- The fat stored in the lips obviously contribute to their overall fullness and shape.
- . Hydration is important for keeping the lips moist and supple, as dry and cracked lips can appear smaller, deflated and less appealing.
- Age affects lip fullness by reducing the amount of fat and collagen in the lips, making them thinner and less plump.
- Hormonal levels can also affect lip fullness, especially estrogen, which can increase blood flow and swelling in the lips
How can we increase the lip fullness and attractiveness without surgery?
1. Brushing them with a toothbrush
- Brushing lips with a toothbrush each day can temporarily increase lip fullness. The brushing may stimulate blood circulation in the lips, leading to temporary redness and slight swelling. This increased blood flow can create the appearance of fuller lips for a short period.
- Brushing the lips with a toothbrush can help exfoliate the surface layer of dead skin cells, promoting smoother and potentially plumper-looking lips. Removing the buildup of dead skin cells.
2. Vaseline
- Applying vaseline on the lips increases moisture retention, provides a smoothing effect and makes them more "reflective". This can give the illusion of enhanced volume by making them slightly more fuller and prominent.
- Applying a hyaluronic acid serum to the lips can help it retain moisture and improve hydration. Well-hydrated lips appear plumper and fuller
- Hyaluronic acid molecules have a high molecular weight, which allows them to temporarily increase the volume of the lips upon application. When applied it can create a cushion-like effect by binding to water molecules in the skin, leading to a temporary plumping effect.
- Hyaluronic acid has aslo been shown to promt your body to produce more collagen so applying it to the lips would likely increase the collagen there
4. Peptide serums like matrixyl
- Stimulates collagen synthesis , more collagen = fuller lips, reduced wrinkles etc
- Enhances skin barrier which plays a role in retaining moisture and hydration.
- Volufiline works by increasing the amount of fat stored in the cells, leading to an increase in volume in the area where it is applied, in this case the lips.
6. Microneedling
- Stimulates the production of collagen and elastin
- Microneedling leads to enhanced product absorption, so the other methods will work better in combination with dermarolling
- It is recommended to use a microneedlning device such as a dermaroller (or derminator if you are rich, reduces scarring) with a length of 0.5 mm every second week.
How can we Increase lip fullness with surgery?
1. Botox Lip flip- This procedure provides a subtle and natural effect, but it may influence the length of the philtrum due to changes in muscle tension. Whether this is a significant factor for you or not is subjective. Keep in mind that facial expressions may be impacted as the nerves are affected. This option only provides temporary results so I wouldnt recommend it.

2. Lip fillers:
- Skillful administration of fillers by an experienced professional can achieve your desired lip shape and fullness. However, it's important to note that over time, the filler may migrate into the upper lip and philtrum area, resulting in an exaggerated and puffy appearance. Dissolving the filler is an option if desired or if migration occurs.
- This option provides temporary results aswell.
3. Lip blushing
- In this procedure a permanent color is tattooed onto the lips by a skilled technician. During the process, the technician can slightly enhance the natural lip outline. Temporary side effects such as crusting, bleeding, and swelling may occur but subside within a day. To maintain the desired outcome, touch-up sessions are recommended every five years.
4. Permanent Fillers (Artefill/Artecoll/Bellafill)
- These fillers contain collagen and PMMA microspheres, stimulating the production of natural collagen. They provide a long-term solution as they remain in the body for years. However, there is a risk of filler migration and lump formation. Removing the filler can be a slow process involving multiple injections of anti-proliferative drugs like steroids, hyaluronidase, and 5-fluorouracil.
- Custom-made implants, typically composed of silicone, are surgically placed to achieve the desired lip shape and fullness. Risks include the body reacting to the implant and potential stiffness. The advantage is that lip implants can be easily removed if desired.
6. Fat Grafting
- This procedure involves the extraction of fat from another area of the body through liposuction. After purification, the fat is injected into the lips. Risks include fat absorption, lumpiness, uneven results, and oil cysts. Removing integrated fat from the lips is challenging, so it's important to address any concerns within three months to avoid prolonged dissatisfaction.
- Various techniques exist for lip lifts, but the overall objective is to increase lip size while reducing philtrum length. In a typical bullhorn lip lift, a section of skin beneath the nose is excised, and the remaining skin is sutured to the area beneath, lifting the upper lip skin to expose more of it. Risks include temporary or permanent paralysis, noticeable scarring, and limited lip mobility. It's worth noting that lip lifts can sometimes result in a flatter appearance, necessitating additional filler for a rounded lip aesthetic.

WHEN GETTING SOME SORT OF LIP SURGERY / AUGMENTATION MAKE SURE THE RESULTS ARE GOING TO BE NATURAL, DONT ASK FOR EXTREME CHANGES SO YOU DONT LOOK UNCANNY LIKE THIS THING
