The new techniques available in cosmetic surgery allow for a wide range of changes that can be made to the face. Crow’s feet can be erased, wrinkles filled, and eyelids changed. The nose and chin can be sculpted in many ways, bigger or smaller, pointier of flatter. However, the best facial plastic surgery for wiping years off of a woman’s age is a procedure to make the lips fuller and poutier.

David Gunn, a scientist at Unilever, coordinated a research project which studied the possibility of full lips being a genetic factor. He discovered that the changes in lip fullness were caused more by genes than any other outside factor. A woman who has the genetic marker to get thin lips cannot prevent it from happening as she gets older. Keeping those full, pouty lips can only be achieved through cosmetic surgery.

The study analyzed the faces of nearly 400 women between the ages of 45 and 81, including some pairs of twins. Results showed that there were more than seven fold variations in lip thickness for the women over sixty. The lip thicknesses ranged from a mere 3mm from the top of the upper lip to the bottom of the lower lip, to a pouty 2.2cm. It was observed that the thicker her lips were, the younger the woman looked. Gunn was quoted as saying, “When we identified people who looked young for their age, we were struck by the difference in their lips.”

A woman can have thin wispy hair and wrinkled skin, but if her lips are full she will still look years younger than if they were thin. Fortunately lip augmentation can be a quick and easy procedure. There are a few different brands of injectable fillers that do not require surgery, some of which are temporary. Also implants can be surgically placed in the lips to create that fuller look. When a woman is deciding to have a lip augmentation it is important to find the procedure that is right for her.

In the media it is indeed obvious that the women voted to be the sexiest are predominantly full lipped. Angelina Jolie, Megan Fox and Scarlet Johansson are a few beauties who have those pouty lips. Women can increase their sex appeal and boost their confidence with a simple procedure to fill out their lips. In fact it is rumored that Fox herself underwent plastic surgery to make her lips more pouty.

Looking and feeling younger has finally become attainable. Women filling out their lips with a lip augmentation can peel some of those years away, creating a fresh young look.

New research which has recently been revealed to the world is forcing plastic and cosmetic surgeons to throw out their old assumptions on how the human face ages and thus what the best types of treatments to fight back can be. 

Apparently, our face are made up of different fat compartments and these different compartments individually change with age and so how we are affected by the ageing process and which parts of our bodies are affected depends on how each of these fat compartments changes over time. Wow, you really do learn something new every day!

The lead author of the study which has revealed this new information, Dr. Joel Pessa, has spoken out about the new findings, saying that: “Contrary to popular belief, the human face does not age uniformly. We thought facial fat was one confluent mass that eventually got weighed down by gravity, creating sagging skin. However, we were shocked to find not only is the face made up of individual fat compartments but these compartments gain and lose fat at different rates.” Thus, all our old assumptions about how to keep our faces looking young and gravity-defying have to be completely reconsidered.  What the study does mean, at a base level for people like you and me who might be considering facial surgery is that certain areas which cause us trouble can now be pinpointed and treated more directly.  Injectable fillers will be able to be used on specific compartments of fat on the face and thus a more natural and effective way of fighting back against the ageing process will be achieved. This will be greeted well on both sides of the Atlantic, as the non-invasive surgery business is one of the biggest sections of the cosmetic and plastic surgery industry.  “This discovery will undoubtedly play a role in how we view aging and how we approach facial reconstructive plastic surgery.” confirmed Dr. Pessa.

The study could have further reaching consequences as well, with reports saying that it could even have reconstructive benefits for cancer or trauma patients. Facial disfigurements such as cleft lips may also be able to be approached differently. It would seem this breakthrough is going to be used in many different areas of surgery and will ultimately benefit and enormous number of people. In the near future though, it will help to fight back against the ageing process.
