How To Fix Small Down Turned Lips

Just like everyone has their personality, the shape of their lips appears to be different, too. Some people have round, full lips while others have curvy, cupid bow lips, uneven lips where the size of lower and upper lips appears different, and others may have naturally small lips or lips thinning with age (with naturally turned-down corners of the mouth). You can have any shape, but if you are unsatisfied, the trouble begins there. If you have naturally small, downturned lips and want to get them fixed, it is best to look for options to fix them. 

Based on the insights from Dr. Shilpi Bhadani, who is popular for providing the best lip enhancement surgery in Delhi at SB Aesthetics Clinic, we will share how you can fix your small down, down-turned lips. So, let's start!

Understanding Small Down Turned Lips 

Small, down-turned lips are characterized by lips that naturally curve downwards at the corners, giving your mouth a slightly downturned appearance. While this trait is entirely natural and often genetic, some people may still feel self-conscious about the shape of their lips and seek ways to enhance them. 

Fortunately, there are various ways to address these small, down-turned lips, ranging from non-invasive techniques to cosmetic procedures. Whether you prefer a subtle enhancement or a more dramatic transformation, there's a solution for everyone to suit their preferences and goals. 

What Are The Non-Invasive Ways To Correct Down Turned Lips

• Lip Exercises:  Just like any other muscle in your body, the muscles around your lips can also benefit from targeted exercises. Simple exercises like smiling widely, puckering your lips, and stretching them upwards can help strengthen the muscles and improve lip tone over time.  

• Lip Massage: Regularly messaging your lips can stimulate blood flow and enhance collagen production, leading to plumper and more defined lips. You can use gentle, circular motions to massage your lips with a moisturizing lip balm or oil to keep them soft and supple.  

• Applying Lipstick Strategically: To apply Lipstick strategically, you do not have to be a professional makeup artist to create the illusion of full, round lips. So, when applying Lipstick or lip color, make sure you cover your entire lip surface (except for the corners of your mouth.) It will create a vertical effect that will mask the downward turning of your lip corners. However, make sure the edges remain symmetrical, otherwise your bottom lip and top lip will appear uneven. 

• Lip Care Routine: A consistent lip care routine can help maintain your lips' health and appearance. So, exfoliate your lips regularly to remove dead skin cells and moisturize them with a hydrating lip balm. Moreover, protect them from the sun with lip sunscreen to prevent premature aging. 

What Are The Cosmetic Procedures To Correct Small Down Turned Lips?

• Lip Augmentation

It is a procedure that increases the size of your lips and reduces the fine wrinkles around the mouth. Mostly, the upper or lower lip may be treated alone, or both lips may be enlarged simultaneously. The lip augmentation can be achieved by injecting or surgically by a graft of the dermis or fat into the lips. 

The options your doctor can choose for the lip augmentation are: 

Dermal Fillers: Fillers can be the secret to getting those perfect lips. Fillers can work wonders when made from natural or synthetic materials like hyaluronic acid (a substance found in the body). Just one session can give you the results you desire, and they last up to a year. Plus, a simple touch-up can maintain your luscious lips. Fillers boost lip volume, smooth out those pesky vertical lip lines, and help create that coveted cupid's bow shape. 

Benefits: 

• It takes very little to no downtime 

• The result settles in about a week 

• Improvements are noticeable immediately after the treatment 

• The substance injected can be controlled

Fat Transfer: In this procedure, your fat is harvested using liposuction and injected into your lips to add volume. The best part? No incisions on your face or lips are required! It's a safe and effective way to achieve fuller, more youthful lips without synthetic fillers. 

Benefits: 

• Gives permanent results 

• Increased lip volume and projection 

• There is no risk of an allergic reaction

• Increases lip volume and projection 

• Smooths fine lines and wrinkles around the mouth 

Who Are The Ideal Candidates For Lip Enhancement Surgery? 

• Non-smoker and non-alcoholic

• Non-diabetic individuals 

• Having realistic expectations 

• Wants to add volume to thin and undefined lips 

Conclusion 

Lip augmentation uses different surgical and non-surgical techniques. To give you fuller lips you can follow the non-invasive tips mentioned above. However, these tips do not provide immediate results and sometimes do not even work. In these cases, it is best to opt for cosmetic surgical options.
