Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, as the saying goes. Yet, a new and bizarre beauty trend is testing the validity of that adage. 

"You should seek a clinician with a similar look as yourself. If they aren’t willing to do it to themselves you shouldn’t let them do it to you.” 
Dr. Lani Doser, DNP

“Devil lips” are trending on social media and the reception has been mixed. Some people find them interesting and intriguing and many others are shocked and disturbed. However, medical professionals are chiming in with warnings about duplicating the curious look.

Essentially, having this type of procedure is akin to bending your elbow backwards - Can you? Sure. But you really, really shouldn’t.

“The damage inflicted to achieve this look may be irreversible.” Dr. Lani Doser states. “It’s definitely semi-permanent and this look likely cannot be achieved using a reversible filler. I don’t know of a dissolvable filler that can create that type of structure.” Essentially, having this type of procedure is akin bending your elbow backwards - Can you? Sure. But you really, really shouldn’t.

​This procedure could cause vessel occlusion, scaring, and infections. Further, changing the border of the lip can permanently distort it. Even with semi-permanent fillers it is unlikely they will wear off symmetrically leaving you with distorted and lumpy lips.

Given the high likelihood of permanent damage, the ethics of performing such a procedure must be posited as well. Dr. Doser says "You should seek a clinician with a similar look as yourself. If they aren’t willing to do it to themselves you shouldn’t let them do it to you.”
