Our lips are in constant motion,
with every word and every expression.
But often, we do not give them the care and attention that we give our other facial features. The tissues and muscles that compose our soft and pliable lips are put to work when we speak, kiss, eat, mouth breath, and express ourselves. Over time this constant use and the natural processes of aging can affect our lips, and they begin to lose their volume and luster.
Dr. Monica Bonakdar of Bonakdar Aesthetics offers the best lip fillers Newport Beach has to offer to restore full and youthful lips.
Lips come in many shapes and sizes. Plump symmetrical lips without lines are an indicator of fertility and youth. As it turns out, lip aging coincides with internal hormonal changes that signal the end of fertility. Even more interesting is that humans are subconsciously programmed to be attracted to individuals with youthful lips for the survival of our species!
This subconscious preference for youthful lips, along with the fact that the eyes and lips are what we gaze at the most when we look at a new face, are the main reasons that lip fillers are among the most frequently requested filler procedures.
Lip fillers are a type of cosmetic injectable that can be used to add volume and fullness to the lips. They are typically made from a substance called hyaluronic acid, which is a naturally occurring substance in the body. Lip fillers can be an excellent way to achieve fuller, more voluminous lips. If you're considering this treatment, be sure to consult with a qualified professional to ensure that you get the best results. Lip enhancements can look natural, but only if you choose the most experienced professional. People can turn to this treatment at all ages; younger people just want fuller lips, while some people are trying to counteract aging lips.
