The Rediscovery of Lip Aesthetics: A Journey to Alluring Lips Like Kylie Jenner's

Written by: Dr. Yeseul Moon / Published on: 2025-08-14

Hello, beauty adorers! Have you ever envied Kylie Jenner's perfect lips? Her lips symbolize youth, health, and charm, leading a global trend. But did you know that such voluminous and well-defined lips are not merely inherited but can be perfected through a combination of delicate aesthetic approaches and modern medical technology?
As time passes, lips cannot escape the signs of aging. They can lose volume, become thinner, and even droop at the corners, giving an older impression. These changes are not just an issue with the lips themselves but are closely related to changes in teeth and bone structure, specifically the loss of elasticity and structural changes in the lower face.

Lip fillers, beauty that leads trend

We have moved beyond the era of simply creating an illusion of fuller lips with lipstick or cover products. Modern dermo-cosmetology has opened new horizons in lip augmentation procedures through innovative substances like hyaluronic acid fillers. Hyaluronic acid is a polysaccharide naturally present in the skin's dermis, and its excellent water-binding capacity helps to hydrate and elasticize the skin.
To create beautiful and youthful lips, it's crucial to go beyond simply adding volume; it's important to preserve and emphasize the shape of the lips, especially the Cupid's bow and the philtral columns. Naturally, the overall harmony and balance of the entire face are also important, aren't they?

What defines perfect lips?
What are the standards for perfect lips?

Ideal Ratio: Generally, the ideal ratio of the upper to lower lip is considered to be 1:1.5 to 1:2. This means that when the lower lip is slightly plumper than the upper lip, it creates the most natural and attractive volume.

Ideal Width: Generally, it is considered most harmonious when the corners of the mouth (oral commissures) are vertically aligned with the inner boundaries of the pupils (medial canthus) or located between vertical lines drawn down from the centers of the pupils.

Preservation of Cupid's Bow and Philtral Ridges: It is crucial to maintain the shape of the Cupid's bow on the upper lip, and not to excessively alter the philtral ridges to achieve natural results.

Side Profile: When an imaginary line is drawn connecting the tip of the nose and the tip of the chin, it is ideal for the upper lip to be slightly inside the E-Line, and for the lower lip to touch or be slightly inside that line.

Ideal Lip Corners: When the lips are comfortably closed, lip corners that are horizontal or slightly upturned give the most positive and bright impression.

Ideal Cupid's Bow: A clear and symmetrical Cupid's bow adds dimension and delicacy to the lips.

Know-how for safe and trendy procedures

Delicate skill and ample experience are essential for lip filler procedures. It's recommended to avoid aspirin, NSAIDs, Vitamin E, etc., for a week before the procedure.
An approach that considers the overall harmony of the face is important, such as balancing the upper and lower lips and lifting the corners of the mouth.
