Wider, fuller curved lips with a high vermilion and a short upper white lip are all signs of female attractiveness.
#LIP FILLER FULL#
Lips are the central hallmark of the lower face and when they are full and well-defined, they impart youth, health, attractiveness and sexuality. The upper and lower lips are continuous at the angles of the mouth or oral commissures. The lower lip lies between the mouth and the labiomental groove, which separates the lower lip from the chin. Laterally the lips are separated from the cheeks by the nasolabial grooves that extend from the nose and pass approximately 1cm lateral to the angles of the mouth. The upper lip lies between the nose and the orifice of the oral cavity.
#LIP FILLER SKIN#
The skin of the lips is categorised as stratified squamous epithelium, or flattened tissue cells. For these reasons, the lips dry out faster and become chapped more easily. Therefore, it does not have the usual protective layer of sweat and body oils which keep the skin smooth, inhibit pathogens and regulate warmth. The lip skin is not hairy and does not have sweat glands. It is approximately here that the labial arteries are found. The skin of the lip forms the border between the exterior skin of the face, and the interior mucous membrane of the inside of the mouth, joining at the wet dry border. The lip skin contains fewer melanocytes, therefore the blood vessels are visible through the skin of the lips, making lips appear red. The skin of the lip is very thin (with three to five cellular layers), compared to typical face skin, which has up to 16 layers. “With celebrity endorsement and many media fuelled horror stories, it is paramount that aesthetic practitioners develop their skill and knowledge in this procedure” The vertical groove extending from the Cupid’s bow to the nasal septum is called the philtrum, with philtral columns on either side. The vermilion border of the upper lip centrally is known as the Cupid’s bow. The juncture where the lips meet the surrounding skin of the mouth area is the vermilion border, and the typically reddish area within the borders is called the vermilion zone. The upper and lower lips are referred to as the ‘labium superius oris’ and ‘labium inferius oris’, respectively. Human lips are a tactile sensory organ with densely packed nerve endings, and can be an erogenous zone when used in kissing.
Lips are soft, movable, and serve as the opening for food intake, assist in mastication, and in the articulation of sound and speech. With celebrity endorsement and many media fuelled horror stories, it is paramount that aesthetic practitioners develop their skill and knowledge in this procedure.īefore and after photos of a patient treated with 1ml of Juvederm® Volift®. Lip augmentation using fillers is increasingly more common and is one of the most sought after filler treatments. Highlighting these has been dated back to Egyptian times where primitive forms of make-up were utilised to accentuate these features.
