Lip Shapes: Your Guide to Types, Trends, and Tailored Enhancements
At KORA Aesthetics in Scottsdale, Arizona, we believe every lip shape is a masterpiece. Whether you have full, heart-shaped, or asymmetrical lips, understanding your unique features is the first step to enhancing your natural beauty. In this guide, we’ll explore the 7 most common lip shapes, debunk myths about the “perfect” lips, and reveal how personalized treatments like lip fillers or a lip flip can elevate your look.
The 7 Lip Shapes: Which One Do You Have?
Our featured image showcases the diversity of lips. Let’s break down each type:
-
Full Lips
- Characteristics: Balanced upper and lower lips with pronounced volume.
- Enhancement Tips: Highlight symmetry with a lip flip or add subtle definition using Juvederm Volbella.
-
Thin Lips
- Characteristics: Delicate with less volume.
- Enhancement Tips: Create fullness with hyaluronic acid fillers or a lip flip for a natural pout.
- Characteristics: A defined double curve on the upper lip (like Angelina Jolie!).
- Enhancement Tips: Accentuate the bow with precise lip filler placement.
-
Heart-Shaped Lips
- Characteristics: Full lower lip with a tapered upper lip (resembling a heart).
- Enhancement Tips: Balance proportions with filler in the upper lip’s center.
-
Round Lips
- Characteristics: Equal width and height, soft curves.
- Enhancement Tips: Add vertical definition using Kybella or filler for a subtle “M” shape.
-
M-Shaped Lips
- Characteristics: Corners slope downward, creating a resting frown m-shape.
- Enhancement Tips: Lift corners with Botox or filler to create a neutral/smiling appearance.
-
Asymmetrical Lips
- Characteristics: Uneven size or shape (common and natural!).
- Enhancement Tips: Correct imbalance with custom filler techniques.
Debunking Lip Shape Myths
Myth 1: “There’s a ‘Perfect’ Lip Shape”
All lips are beautiful! Trends fade, but confidence in your natural features is timeless.
Myth 2: “Fillers Always Look Fake”
Not when done right. Our founder, Katie Manhardt, uses micro-droplet techniques for undetectable volume.
Myth 3: “Asymmetrical Lips Are Flaws”
Asymmetry adds character! Embrace it or let us refine it subtly—your choice.
How to Determine Your Lip Shape
- Prep: Remove makeup and relax your face.
- Analyze: Use a mirror to identify the fullest part of your lips and any asymmetry.
- Compare: Match your lips to our featured image or book a consultation for a professional assessment.
