The beauty of lips lies primarily in their symbolic meaning and formal aesthetics. Full, rosy lips greatly enhance a woman's charm. But what if your lip shape isn't ideal?
The optimal solution—lip augmentation surgery—can perfectly address this concern.>>>Achieve alluring red lips with autologous fat transfer
Some believe lips themselves lack inherent curvature, yet they embody emotional beauty. From a formal aesthetic perspective, ideal lips feature an upper lip slightly thinner and subtly upturned compared to the lower lip, with corners angled upward. The upper lip forms an arched shape, while the edge of the red lip is defined by the vermilion border.Lip thickness varies among individuals. Typically, women have an upper lip thickness of 8mm and a lower lip thickness of 9mm; men's lips are generally 1–1.5mm thicker than women's. The width of the mouth opening is measured from the vertical line of the pupil to the corner of the mouth.
For men, upper lip thickness exceeding 9mm and lower lip thickness exceeding 10.5mm are considered thick lips; for women, upper lip thickness exceeding 8mm and lower lip thickness exceeding 9mm are classified as thick lips.Thick lips are related to genetics and racial characteristics, though some cases result from localized chronic infections. From an aesthetic perspective, thick lips often convey a "dull" impression. Thick lips can be corrected through lip reduction surgery, a simple and straightforward procedure yielding effective, long-lasting results. Postoperative swelling is noticeable and typically lasts 2–3 weeks.Lip reduction surgery involves making an incision at the junction between the red lip skin and mucosa on both upper and lower lips. Depending on lip thickness, a spindle-shaped or serrated section of oral mucosa and muscle is excised. The incision is then directly approximated and sutured to thin the lips. Sutures are removed after 5 to 7 days. The incision scar is concealed inside the mouth, yielding ideal results.Lip Augmentation: Details That Enhance Feminine Charm Congenital double lips most commonly occur on the upper lip, presenting as two distinct lip borders.A horizontal groove exists between the two lip margins. The treatment principle for lip reshaping surgery is partial excision to restore the normal contour of the vermilion border. Two repair methods exist: the "elliptical excision technique" and the "transverse-longitudinal rhombic excision technique." The rhombic excision involves making an elliptical incision along the perimeter of the double lip, excising mucosa and submucosal tissue in a wedge shape, followed by layered suturing of the wound.The transverse-longitudinal wedge resection involves placing a suture on each side of the upper lip to pull the tissue outward. Transverse wedge incisions are made at the protruding areas of the double lip on both sides, while a longitudinal incision is made along the midline. After excising the excess mucosa and submucosal tissue, the wound is closed with layered sutures.
