What Bangs....Kim K's Bee-Stung Lips Have Folks Buzzing

The Kardashian sisters.

In a way,  we DO feel for them. Every time these famous siblings go out in public, a long trail of cameras + paps pursue.

And yesterday, the photogs were following pregnant Kim as she showed off a new set of bangs.

Yes! We like fringe on Kim. Plus, she's sporting those signature super-long extensions--this time in a wavy do.

But even more curious are the reality star's new BIGGER lips.

She showed off her pretty pout BEFORE she got the bangs on a recent Twitter page.

But Kim did not mention how her lips had suddenly swelled up.

Can pregnancy cause lips to increase in size?

We can't find that as a fact anywhere in some quick research, but we did read that some pregnant women DID report swelling of the lips into their 29th week + beyond.

Kim K isn't that far along in her term yet.

So....we would assume, and we use the word--assume, that the stunning star is going to the derm for lip-injected filler.

And we also assume that is safe to have done during pregnancy.

When you want full lips like Kim K, soft fillers are chosen for their amazing, smooth volumizing properties. Soft fillers avoid lumps + nodules that do not look pretty on lips.

What's the best filler for fuller, bigger lips?

We went to RealSelf.com for a real doctor's perspective:

Best temporary fillers for lip augmentation

 

The best fillers for the lips are those that are soft, pliable, and temporary. Those currently available and that work beautfuly for the lips are:

• Juvederm Ultra Plus
• Restylane
• Perlane

These are all different formulations of "hyaluronic acids," which come in a soft gel form. Depending on how much of an enhancement is needed, your Plastic Surgeon will select the appropriate formulation.

It is CRITICAL that your injecting physician understands the proper lip aesthetics and balance between the borders, upper vs. lower lip, and the role that surrounding muscles play in the lip (mouth) aging process.

Sometimes, if my patients are in the operating room for something else, then I offer them the choice of having their own fat cells transferred to different areas of the face (such as the lips and cheeks) to restore the youthful volume of the face.
