A study revealed that the perfect lip shape features an upper-to-lower lip ratio between 0.618:1 and 1:1, with the upper lip height being 25 percent of the hemi-lip width. Overinflation of lips is seen as unattractive. Although social media influences beauty perceptions, traditional aesthetic standards persist. An increasing number of people compare their desired lip looks to celebrity images, leading to disproportionate expectations. The rise in popularity of cosmetic lip procedures correlates with general acceptance, similar to haircuts and manicures, yet cases of over-treatment are becoming more frequent.
Scientists from the American University of Beirut showed 200 people AI-generated pictures of a woman, whose lips had been adjusted in various ways. An analysis of their preferences revealed that the perfect pout features an upper-to-lower lip ratio (U/L) of between 0.618:1 and 1:1. Meanwhile, the most highly rated lips had an upper lip height of 25 percent of hemi-lip width.
According to the researchers, this suggests that overinflation of lips is regarded as 'unaesthetic and unattractive.' Though social media have an influence on perception of beauty, data provided by the survey confirm that golden standards of aesthetics remain constant.
Many patients at present bring with them pictures of celebrities and demonstrate the interest of not only becoming beautiful but also looking similar to the 'Hollywood star' prototypes, expecting outcomes that are out of proportion with established standards of beauty.
Unfortunately, overtreated patients and overzealous practitioners are becoming very common. A poll carried out by VICE UK found that over half of Brits now see these procedures as comparable to getting a haircut or a manicure.
