Women's mouths are bigger and better than ever. And those plump, appealing lips aren't always God-given. Sometimes they're the result of visiting a facial plastic surgeon's office for a little assistance in acheiving a pouty mouth through lip augmentation.
Noted Houston facial plastic surgeon Russell W. H. Kridel, MD, FACS, explains "Young lips have fullness, a marked ridge above them, and a larger portion of red lip show as opposed to white lip show. With age, the lips become flatter and less defined. The red portion diminishes, and vertical lines appear around the mouth, which can create havoc for lipstick as it tends to trail of into the vertical lines.
Doctors have ways to increase the poutiness and the projection of your lips, improve the curved shape of the upper lip and the cupid's bow, and eliminate wrinkles around the mouth."Injectables can solve all three problems," says Dr. Kridel.
If you decide you want fuller lips, take pictures of what you like so that when you go to see the doctor for a consultation, that way you can clearly convey your goal for lip augmentation.
(If you're having lip injections, you need to be off of aspirin or ibuprofen for a week to ten days before the treatment.)
