With the recent summer blockbusters such as The Hunger Games and The Avengers breaking records at the box office, a lot of attention has been paid to the stars of these movies. After all, who hasn’t noticed Jennifer Lawrence’s beauty and Scarlett Johansson’s plump luscious lips? According to Marie Claire, Scarlett Johansson’s lips are one of the most requested looks received by plastic surgeons. Many people desire a fuller, sexier pout – it not only adds to your attractiveness, but also radiates youthfulness. So what can you do to get a celeb-worthy pout?
First off, you might have noticed that when you were younger, you had a fuller pout than you do now. What people don’t realize is that as you age, your lips (like other places on your face), lose collagen and become smaller, thinner, and lose that pout from your younger years. You also might start to notice the sides of your mouth can start to sag, and the wrinkles and deep lines that also start to form around the mouth area (some call them “marionette” lines). However, there are also those who just naturally do not have full lips or mismatched upper and lower lips.
This is where minimally invasive injectable fillers come in! Most facial plastic surgeons will agree that fillers are one of the best and most popular ways to augment your lips. With a skilled facial plastic surgeon, you can achieve naturally looking plump lips that you had when you were younger. Or you can get the full lips that you have always desired! Another benefit for using fillers to augment your lips is due to the fact that as you get older, your lips will change. Since fillers last anywhere from six months to a year, your doctor will be able to adapt to that change by giving you more or less filler to achieve the look you desire.
Another option for fuller lips is a medical grade lip plumper. The Vivité Defining Lip Plumper contains gentle conditioners and botanicals to make your lips smooth and soft and protect against environmental stressors. It also helps to improve the appearance of lip volume, fullness, and fine lines and wrinkles. It’s a simple solution if you want to temporarily make your lips seem a little fuller. There are also many over-the-counter options that you can opt for that may not be as effective as a medical grade product. However, if you are going for something a little subtler, they might be a better choice for you. There are many lip glosses and serums that claim to also plump the lips as well. A great way to pick one is to read the reviews and see what other people who have tried it have to say!
