Plump, Full Pouty Lips are all the rage…By Beverly Hills plastic and Cosmetic Surgeon, Dr. Francis R. Palmer, III.

+�-�Here’s a picture, courtesy of Corbis Images, that demonstartes beautiful lips.+�-� They are full and plump.+�-� More importantly, they have the proper ratio of size between the upper and lower lips of 75%/100%.+�-� Another way of saying that the lower lip should appear pouty….and thus larger than the upper lip.+�-� The upper lip should be no more than 75% the size of the lower lip.+�-� As the upper lip becomes larger than this magical 75%, it takes on that Ducky-look that screams….”My Lips have been done…and badly at that”.

Ok so what are your choices for that perfect set of smackers….there’s a bunch of+�-�topical creams and lip balms promising to pucker your pout but what can they really do?+�-� Not much, it turns out…..other than offer your lips a temporary increase in size caused by temporary swelling.

If you’re looking for more lasting lucious lips, you should consider Alloderm.+�-� It’s a soft-tissue replacement that can be done thru 2 small openings in the corner of each mouth as an office procedure.+�-� The material is soft, pliable and when placed above the lip muscle gives soft, naturally looking augmentation to the lips.+�-�

+�-�I have performed hundreds of these procedures over the past 12 years or so and feel that this is the gold-standard for Lip Augmentation and Enhancement.+�-� The material lasts about 7 years at which time it can be repeated.+�-� Read more here: http://www.drfpalmer.com/LipAugmentation.html
