The Modified Cupid's Bow Lips: A Dominant Aesthetic Trend in Lip Augmentation—A Clinical and Statistical Analysis

BACKGROUND: Contemporary lip augmentation has evolved from simple volumization techniques to more intricate contour-specific enhancements. Among these advancements, the Modified Cupid's bow lips, characterized by their distinctive Cupid's bow shape and vertical projection, have gained significant popularity as a prominent aesthetic trend. AIMS: This study aims to evaluate the prevalence of patient preference for the Modified Cupid's bow lips contour and to propose a systematic approach for its clinical implementation based on retrospective analysis. METHODS: A retrospective analysis was conducted, including 67 consecutive female patients seeking primary lip augmentation. Demographic information and preferences regarding lip contours were statistically analyzed using chi-square tests with age stratification. Anthropometric measurements of labial tubercle area and upper lip angles were performed using Image Pro Plus software for quantitative assessment. RESULTS: , p = 0.039) and alterations in key angular measurements (Angle γ, δ, ε; p < 0.05), confirming enhanced central projection, vertical height, and contour definition. CONCLUSION: The Modified Cupid's bow lips represent a dominant aesthetic preference and necessitate specialized injection techniques and an understanding of anatomy for optimal results. Objective morphometric changes validate the efficacy of the technique in achieving defined lip contours.
