One of the most noticeable features of the face is the person’s smile. Traditionally, full lips with a well-formed upper lip “cupid’s bow” are considered aesthetically attractive. As a result, many Hollywood stars have opted to undergo lip enhancement in order to achieve more voluminous lips. With the use of facial fillers, plastic surgeons can help thin-lipped actresses gain the smile they desire.

However, there has been a recent increase in overly plumped lips amongst female stars. From Christina Aguilera to Courtney Cox, it appears that a mere subtle enlargement through injectables is out of the question. New York City plastic surgeon Steven J. Pearlman, M.D., F.A.C.S. is a facial surgery specialist who offers this treatment. Having performed this procedure for many years, Dr. Pearlman has perfected the “Cupid’s Bow Lip” technique with the use of Restylane ®. This allows the patient to attain the volume they want without losing the natural contour of the lips, which is what non-celebrity patients are looking to do. Dr. Pearlman’s goal is to provide you with a natural enhancement – not a plastic pout like that of movie actress Melanie Griffith.
