Lip fillers are one of the most popular cosmetic surgery trends in recent times. In fact, research shows that the use of lip enhancement procedures has increased by more than 60% in the last 20 years.1
Truth be told, it’s rather common to see celebs with plump and full lips. But now, with increased access to different types of cosmetic surgery, even regular women can achieve the most perfectly kissable pout.
Among many such lip filler trends, one of the latest techniques to take the global stage by storm is called “cherry lips,” which originates from South Korea. Read on to learn everything you need to know about 2023’s cherry lips Korean trend, how it works, the treatment benefits, and more.
What Does Cherry Lips Treatment Involve?
The main goal of this unique lip filler trend is to provide additional volume to the central portion of your lips, giving it a characteristic cherry-like shape. This increased volume will make your lips look like a pair of cherries horizontally hanging at the corners of your lips.2
Lip fillers are only injected in the center of your lips to achieve this look. This will make your lips appear fuller than before while maintaining the natural dimensions and volume of the whole lips.3
The outer corners of the lips remain unaffected, whereas the middle portion appears plump. Hyaluronic acid-based dermal fillers are mainly used in the cherry lips technique. The effects of this treatment are expected to last for at least six months.4
This procedure is generally considered safe, and fillers rarely produce allergic reactions. Some of the minor and temporary side effects include redness, swelling, soreness, itchiness, bruising, and pain. However, you can easily resolve most of these symptoms with the help of an ice pack and some necessary precautions for the first 24 hours, like:5
- Avoiding lip balms and lipsticks
- Avoiding kissing and drinking from a straw
- Abstaining from alcohol, spicy food, strenuous exercise, smoking, and other such activities
- Maintaining proper hydration
- Minimizing any physical contact with the lips
