The cupid’s bow is the double curve on the upper lip, named for the shape of a bow and arrow carried by Cupid. The peaks and shadows of the cupid’s bow can change the look of a person’s lips, smile and overall appearance.
The “lip pop” or “lip flip” is a technique used by Dr. Laris to accentuate the cupid’s bow. By injecting botox into the left and right edge of the lip, it relaxes the muscle above the lip, causing it to slightly turn out. This makes the lip line gently roll out, and the cupid’s bow appear fuller and more defined. The bottom lip can also be injected to accentuate your pout.
The lip pop is a great option for patients who are not ready to try dermal fillers, but can also be a great compliment when used with dermal fillers.
The procedure itself takes about 5-10 minutes. Allow a total time of 20 minutes for before and after pictures.
What can I expect post-procedure?
Mild bruising is possible at injection points. Difficulty pursing lips or using a straw is possible but should improve in 7-10 days. Avoid exercise 24 hours post procedure.
How long do the results last?
Botox typically lasts 3-6 months, however, you can safely repeat Botox Cosmetic treatment every three months to maintain the look you desire
When will I see the results?
Results can be seen a 3-5 days after your procedure.
Restylane is used to increase lip volume and enhance the “cupid's bow” appearance for soft, natural-looking lip augmentation. Results with Restylane can typically last six to nine months. Restylane Silk was the first FDA-approved hyaluronic acid filler designed specifically for lip augmentation.
“Injecting too much volume into the lip risks flattening the Cupid's bow causing a problem with definition,” says Paula. “To prevent this, always bear it in mind when treating your patient. Advise patients that it may take a few lip filler treatments to successfully revolumise the lips and to enhance the Cupid's bow.
🫦 It is estimated that 5% of people have this lip shape. It is defined by a prominent V shape to the upper lip. Cupid's bow lips are commonly associated with youth.
The cost of lip filler procedures typically starts at around $500, but can vary depending on the type of filler used . The procedure itself usually takes 30-60 minutes. Recovery time is minimal, with most patients returning to their normal activities immediately after the procedure.
It's likely that, like Khloe Kardashian, she had Juvéderm and Restylane temporary fillers. At that time, we were mostly seeing women in their late 20s and early 30s getting fillers, but the star's new lips prompted a wave of younger teens to seek the treatment.
To get a well-defined Cupid's bow, the filler needs to be expertly placed near the top lip edges. Such precision not only outlines the lips but also corrects any inherent asymmetry, ensuring both sides of the lips mirror each other. The end result? A more balanced and symmetrical smile.
