The causes of large lips are varied, perhaps the most prominent being genetic factors and the genes characteristic of certain human groups and ethnicities. It may also result from some developmental problems that occur in the fetus during pregnancy, or it may be caused by certain diseases such as problems with blood vessels or glands, or an increase in tissue thickness in general.
Each of these categories has its own specific causes that must be considered when developing a treatment plan, as these factors influence the choice of the appropriate procedure to address the problem. For example, in the case of the genetic predisposition of some ethnicities or races, there is an enlargement of all the tissues that anatomically make up the lips, whether skin, muscles, fat, or internal soft tissues.
In the case of double lips, a deep groove forms between the outer and inner parts of the lips during embryonic development. This problem is limited to the outer tissues lining the lips and is not related to the muscles or internal tissues. Many women try to overcome this problem, often using makeup and lipstick, but this is not a stable solution as these products can fade at any time, causing embarrassment for some.
