Läppformen

Läppformen refers to the natural shape and contour of a person's lips. This can vary significantly between individuals, contributing to unique facial features. Common descriptions of läppformen include terms like "full lips," "thin lips," "bow-shaped lips," or "straight lips." The shape is determined by genetics and can also be influenced by factors such as age and facial structure.

The upper and lower lips have distinct characteristics. The upper lip is often characterized by the cupid's bow, a double curve in the center, and the philtrum, the vertical groove between the base of the nose and the upper lip. The lower lip is typically fuller than the upper lip. The overall aesthetic of a person's smile and mouth is heavily influenced by their läppformen.

In some contexts, läppformen can be a subject of interest in fields like aesthetics, cosmetics, and art. Understanding the different variations in lip shapes allows for more accurate representation in portraits and a better understanding of cosmetic procedures aimed at enhancing lip appearance. The perception of attractive läppformen can also be subjective and culturally influenced.
