Having beautifully shaped lips is a dream for many women because it makes the face look more attractive and charming. This is why shaping the lips to get the desired look has become increasingly popular, especially the trend of getting "Cupid’s Bow lips."
There are two ways to achieve Cupid’s Bow lips: surgery or injecting Lip Filler using a doctor's techniques. Which one is better? Let's find out in this article.
What are Cupid’s Bow shaped lips?
Cupid’s Bow shaped lips look like a bow or arch. The upper lip resembles an "M" shape, and the ratio between the upper and lower lips is 1:1.6-1.8. The corners of the mouth should be lifted, not drooping, and the curves should be symmetrical. The center should have a beautiful bow shape, and the lips should be plump, smooth, and free of wrinkles.
Cupid’s Bow lip surgery
Cupid’s Bow lip surgery reshapes the upper and lower lips to be thinner and form a beautiful bow shape that matches the face. The surgeon removes some tissue from the inside of the lips and stitches the wound internally. This procedure is suitable for those with thick lips, droopy lips, and those who want a permanent Cupid’s Bow lip shape.
Advantages of lip surgery
Lip surgery is a permanent way to shape the lips, reducing the size of thick, droopy, or large lips into a smaller, more defined Cupid’s Bow shape. The results are clear and noticeable.
Is Cupid’s Bow lip surgery dangerous?
Cupid’s Bow lip surgery requires the surgeon's skill and expertise. If performed by an inexperienced surgeon, the procedure can be very risky. They may remove the wrong amount of tissue or stitch the wound poorly, leading to misshapen lips or thin lips that don’t achieve the desired look.
After lip surgery, you need time to recover and take proper care to avoid infection and inflammation. If there are any mistakes, it can be difficult to fix, and the surgery can be quite expensive.
Possible complications
- There might be raised scars at the surgical site.
- There could be asymmetry between the upper and lower lips or the face.
- Cysts in the mouth or blocked salivary glands can occur, but this is very rare.
- The surgical wound may become infected.
Getting Cupid’s Bow shaped lips with fillers
This means injecting Hyaluronic Acid (HA) into the lips to shape them into a bow. This method allows you to shape the lips without surgery, making them look fuller and plumper. You can lift the corners of the mouth and easily make adjustments if you want to change the lip shape.
Benefits of Cupid’s Bow lip fillers
- Very safe
- Low risk
- Doesn’t damage lip shape
- No recovery time needed
- Immediate results
- Lips become fuller
Are lip fillers dangerous?
Lip filler injections are convenient and safe, without the complications associated with surgery. The fillers used must be genuine, containing Hyaluronic Acid (HA), which naturally dissolves in the body without leaving residues or causing harm.
What lip shapes can you achieve with fillers?
Lip fillers can help transform your look. They can be used to shape your lips in any way you want. The most popular shapes are the Korean style and Western style.
Should you choose surgery or fillers?
Lip fillers and lip surgery both have their advantages
- Lip surgery offers a permanent way to shape the lips, but it carries risks and potential mistakes that can be hard to fix.
- Lip fillers provide a safe and natural way to adjust the lip shape. They are not as risky as surgery and allow for easy adjustments. Plus, you can continue with your life without any downtime.
As mentioned, Bow Lip Surgery is permanent, but you must accept the risks. Therefore, lip fillers are a safer option with fewer risks, providing results that satisfy many people.
