Pouts: Is It All Lip Service Or Is It Something To Pout About

Pouts have always been a topic of conversation, from the days of Goldie Hawn in First Wives Club to Pamela Anderson on Baywatch, and more recently, the very young and much-debated Kylie Jenner. Although all of the ladies above have had a hot conversation in their day, the question you need to ask yourself is … If you could enhance your pout, what do you need to know?

Firstly, you DO NOT want the Goldie Hawn pout! This is an exaggerated representation of someone who is totally obsessed and not realistic by any means (in The First Wives Club). Her lips are hopelessly exaggerated, taking that which should enhance beauty and distorting it with an absolute extreme.

Pouts: What You Need to Know

Young ladies often have naturally thin lips and are seeking fuller, luscious lips. Older ladies, however, often seek lip enhancement because their lips tend to droop and lose volume, resulting in a pouty and undefined appearance. Subtle lip enhancement may improve the situation and give you fuller, more attractive lips. Most lip enhancements are performed by injecting either injectable filler material or, alternatively, fat (usually by plastic surgeons).

What Does Lip Augmentation Involve?

• There is little to no downtime.
• The treatment is relatively non-invasive.
• It can be used to give volume to the lips.
• Sculpting means it can be used to create a ‘cupid’s bow’ in the centre of the upper lip.
• It can be used to treat minor wrinkles and ageing around the mouth.
• Always ensure that the doctor you use is reputable and performs these kinds of treatments regularly, as they can be complex.

Did You Know?

It is highly recommended to start having fillers injected as soon as lines and wrinkles are detected, as this prevents further lines that can become ingrained and very difficult to treat in the mouth area. Prevention is always better than cure; therefore, it is recommended that you start today.
