Anatomy of the perfect lip

Many of us are afraid of the fake lip look. The over-inflated lip is a cosmetic giveaway. However, natural, juicy lips are possible but a keen aesthetic eye is paramount to achieving this with a natural look. Over the years, medicine has perfected the anatomy of the perfect lip. When injecting lips, there are specific ratios and areas the injector must pay attention to. The anatomy of the perfect lip requires the top lip to be ⅙ of the bottom lip in size (see image below). When analyzing the structure of the lip, the injector must also consider the structure and symmetry of a person’s face. Not all face structures can handle a large lip. Some faces can only handle light enhancement of the lip. While a full lip can make you look younger, the injector must take all aspects of your face into consideration and sometimes a little enhancement can give big results. At ZENA medical, we take a multi-dimensional approach to ensure your lips look natural with the structure of your face.
