The Science Behind Lip Filler Injections: Key Anatomical Points

August 2024

When our highly trained team at Urban Aesthetics assesses your lips for filler injections, we’re not just looking at whether your lips are thick or thin. We focus on key anatomical points that, when targeted correctly, create balanced, plump, and natural-looking lip augmentations.

So, what are these key points and why do they matter? Let's delve into the anatomy of the lips:

Philtrums: These are the two parallel columns that connect the top lip to the nose area. Enhancing the philtrums can add definition and structure to the upper lip.

Cupid’s Bow: This is the horizontal bow shape at the center of the upper lip. Accentuating the Cupid’s Bow can enhance the natural shape and beauty of your lips.

Oral Commissure: These are the corners of the lips, which can lose support over time and create a downturned, sad appearance. Properly supporting the oral commissure can rejuvenate the overall look of the lips.

Vermillion Border: This is the red margin of the lip. Defining the vermillion border can help to highlight the natural contour and fullness of your lips.

Tubercles: These are the five natural fatty deposits of the lip. Enhancing these tubercles can add volume and a natural plumpness to your lips.

The goal of our injectors is to create a structured lip that promotes volume and architectural support, tailored to each individual's natural anatomy. No two lips are the same, and our approach is always customized to suit your unique features.
