The most popular style of lip augmentation that patients ask for is unquestionably the Classic look. This style of lip augmentation is subtle, yet produces a distinctive formation of all the 5 natural planes that exist in the lips. Women who have lost volume through aging and those who want a subtle augmentation choose this style.

The Rubina style is for those who enjoy a fuller expression of their lips, without appearing overly treated or aesthetically displeasing. There is nothing more beautiful than a fully expressive lip form that accentuates all planes of the natural lip form. The difference between the Rubina and Classic lip forms is volume. Rubina lips are the full expression of the natural 5 planes that exist in the lips. Any more material placed in the lips will distort these forms, causing the look to become unaesthetic. So, Rubina is the comfort lips, and the no man’s zone of over augmentation. Rubina lips are heavily dependent on facial structure. If a woman as enough length from the bottom of the nose to the chin, Rubina can be a very pleasing style. If this space is short, the lip may look overworked.

Cupid is the rarest of all lip forms. The Cupid lip form has a very powerful youthful appearance and is very prominent in pre-adolescent females. Due to the natural growth process in a female’s lips, the fullness of the lips fill in the middle first. As she continues to mature, the lips fill in more on the sides. Some women with the Cupid lip style also have a V-shaped form in their upper jaw. Whatever the foundation, the Cupid form evokes a perception of youthfulness in the observer.

If a woman has this style naturally or has the potential to create this lip form, one must be very careful not to overdo it. The lips will look very fake and protruded if over-filled. Less is more with this style.  A proper application of the Cupid style will add volume and accentuate the Cupid’s Bow form, resulting in a naturally youthful and attractive appearance.

This lip style accentuates the lower lip, in particular, the two teardrops that form it. Pearlique is the opposite of the Cupid style. By accenting the two teardrop shapes, a more youthful, voluminous effect is achieved. Since Pearlique is isolated to the lower lip, it is able to be combined with other looks.  Pearlique complements styles such as Cupid and Rubina very well.

If you already have a Pearlique look, embrace it. You should recognize this is a rare and sought after lower liplook.

The Angelic lip form also entails full expression of the upperlip. It is very popular among patients. The Angelic form invites you with a subtle invitation of alluring sensuality, without overly stating the obvious. This lip form fills the borders of the upper lip, specifically the rhomboidal “bucket” shapes.

Angelic is a pleasing form for patients with fuller volume in the upper lip combined with a narrow lip length. It elongates and shapes the upper lip like angel’s wings.

The Hollywood style is ideal for women who desire attention to their lips without an exaggerated form of both the upper and lower lips. This style is seen frequently in movie and entertainment personalities. This lip style fills all three forms of the upper lip, which are the two tapering rhomboid shapes and the half bucket shape in the middle of the upper lip.

The upper lip does not taper into the corners of the mouth as sharply as with the other styles of lip forms. If the upper lip is over-filled, this can remove the three natural forms comprising the upper lip. If this occurs, the Hollywood presentation will fail. The Cupid’s Bow in Hollywood lips is rounded out and not as pointed as in Cupid form.
