CHERRY LIPS, KOREA’S LATEST LIP FILLER TREND

What are Cherry lips? 

Cherry lips refer to an aesthetic that is produced by applying a specific filler technique. Traditionally, lip filler trends have favoured the fuller body lips, like the Russian lips. However, more and more Hollywood stars and influencers are dissolving their lip fillers and going for a natural look. Perhaps this phenomenon is influenced by the rising social awareness surrounding body positivity and natural beauty, but it's clear that Cherry lips are quickly becoming the hottest trend in North America. 

The look originates from South Korea, where natural volume and dimension are emphasized over sheer size in lip fillers. This is due to the relatively high priority placed on maintaining a young and healthy appearance in Korean culture. In fact, the Korean language has a word called “Dong Ahn”, which, translated literally, means having a “childish face”. So how do Cherry lips contribute to being a Dong Ahn? Let’s find out. 

The differences between the Russian lips and Cherry lips

Russian lips are heart shaped lips with most of the volume being focused in the center with a defined cupid’s bow. The general aim is for the top and bottom lips to achieve a 1:1 ratio. The vertical height or the thickness of the lips are accentuated and the borders of the lips are also very clear. From the side profile, Russian lips are flat. This was in contrast to the over-done "duck lips", which is scaring a lot of people away from lip fillers to this day. Due to shifts in perception and demand, injectors found themselves with patients requesting Russian lip filler technique.  

Cherry lips, on the other hand, have volume being focused in 2 plump areas in each top and bottom lip. Hence, the name “Cherry lips” references the shape of a cherry, which is the aesthetic this filler technique is inspired by. Cherry lips have the 1:1.3 ratio of top and bottom lips. A bonus is that the 2 “cherries” on the top lip can lift the corners of the mouth, which makes them look like they’re smiling. The end result is that Cherry lips help achieve a more natural volume, youthful and innocent look.
