Six steps to creating perfect lips

Lips, like hairstyles, have trends. Bee-stung lips were the thing of 1920s; big hair was the thing of 1980s. And now, while bangs may be the next big thing after the First Lady's new 'do, lips with well-defined philtrum columns are in. 

During the 10th annual meeting of the Orlando Dermatology Aesthetic and Clinical Conference, Dr. Deborah S. Sarnoff listed six simple steps to create such lips, while keeping their natural balance [watch video]. 

Dr. Sarnoff advised dermatologists to know the lips' anatomy and nomenclature well. She added that that it's important for them to educate their patients on the structure of the lips. If the lips aren't augmented correctly, she said, they could result in what some call "duck lips."

Dr. Sarnoff, director of Cosmetique Dermatology, Laser, and Plastic Surgery Center with offices in Long Island and Manhattan, has also published a study in the Journal of Drugs in Dermatology listing the six steps. (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/23135651) (J Drugs Dermatol. 2012 Sep;11:1081-8).

"If you stick to these 6 steps you can't go wrong," she said.
