Forget Bigger is Better when it comes to lip-filler, there's a new lip trend in Tinsel Town and this one champions the ‘less is more approach’.
Fashion and Beauty on Female First
For year’s celebrities having been modelling over-lined lips or having copious amounts of filler injected in their quest for the Holy Grail; that Angelina Jolie esque pout.
More often than not, the end result is less than natural looking. Doctor Zoya Diwan of celebrity clinic - Trikwan Aesthetics, notes “we have seen so many patients whose lips have been over filled. The lips end up looking shapeless, and swollen which is not a good look and can even be painful.” Dr Sanjay Trikha adds “Now that the more natural lip look is coming into fashion, hopefully we will see less of that excessive look”
Indeed it seems the tide is finally changing with the queen of Insta-pouts; Kylie Jenner sporting noticeably slimmer lips of late. The reality star even stated that her filled lips had looked “too big” in the past and seems to be happy with her newly downsized lips.
The trend for a more subtle lip look has taken off this side of the pond too with British celebrity doctor duo Doctor Zoya Diwan and Doctor Sanjay Trikha creating their hugely popular Cupid’s Bow treatment to meet the demand for more subtle looking yet shapely lips. Here are the top ten things you should know about their new filler technique which is said to be making waves in the industry for ensuring the dreaded ‘trout pout’ is a thing of the past.
2.) The specialist injection technique came about after Taylor Swift and Rihanna’s shapely lips became the top celebrity lip look requested at the Trikwan Aesthetics clinic. Both pop diva’s sport a naturally overt Cupid’s Bow area, rather than overly plump lips, hence a focus on building shape in this area of the mouth during treatment.
3.) In contrast, previous year’s saw the most requested look on stars such as Kylie Jenner, Angelina Jolie and Rosie Huntington-Whitely who are better known for their pillowy pouts rather than the ‘shape’ of their lips.
4.) With the treatment taking off in the UK, and after being highlighted in Vogue as one of the best new beauty treatments on the aesthetics scene, the doctors have reported patients coming as far afield as New York to visit the Harley Street clinic to have their lips enhanced.
5.) Another area of focus for the treatment which has been over looked in the past are the Philthrum columns. Philthrum columns are the lines that follow the nostrils to the tops of the Cupid’s Bow peaks. When enhanced, these columns reportedly give a pleasing yet natural look to the mouth area.
6.) Part of the reason the doctor’s decided to focus on building volume in the philthrum columns came after they studied various face tweaking apps and makeup tutorials. The doctor’s noticed that the philthrum columns were being enhanced through use of highlighting and shading and were able to recreate this look through clever contouring of cleverly placed filler for a more permanent result.
7.) The treatment uses a type of lip filler which can last up to 12 months. In the past many fillers would typically last up to 6 months, however the filler can be dissolved on request.
8.) The treatment involves little down time, as initially swelling goes down after 24-72 hours. However the doctor’s take care to note that any aesthetic treatment should be taken with due cares and insist on a consult prior to the procedure to ensure that best results are achieved.
9.) While not completely painless, the treatment uses a fair amount of numbing cream to ensure those with even the most needle phobic, feel more at ease, plus the fillers themselves have local anaesthetic within them.
10.) The doctors have reported a wide range of customer’s requesting the treatment, with the oldest being a new grandmother at 60…
