0:00.0	Well, hello, hello, guys, you're listening to Beauty Bites with Dr. K., Secrets of a Plastic
0:19.7	Surgeon, and it's time for a five-minute
0:21.7	Friday. It's all about the lips. I love lips. They are one of the most important and beautiful
0:28.7	features of the face, whether masculine or feminine, the lips are extremely specialized organs.
0:36.7	And I'm going to teach you all about the lips. Let's
0:39.5	celebrate National Kissing Day learning about the amazing structure of the lips. Did you know that
0:45.2	your lips have over one million nerve endings? This makes them highly sensitive, very romantic,
0:52.1	and erogenous zones. That is a lot of nerve endings per square centimeter that's much more
0:58.1	than your skin the skin of the face has more nerve endings than for example the skin of the back or the
1:03.3	buttocks or other areas but the lips is an extreme concentration of nerve endings making them
1:08.8	so special for romance the lips are constantly exposed to the

1:29.1	your lips are going to invert the muscles of the lip atrophy, causing the lips to roll inward
1:35.3	slightly. The philtrum, or those two lines above the lip coming from your nose, they tend to
1:41.8	elongate. When the lip gets long, when you get long in the lip,
1:45.3	the expression is you look older. So that's something we can adjust and touch up with lip filler
1:50.5	or lip lift surgery. The lips, the mucosa of the lips and the skin of the lips actually dries
1:58.5	very easily and doesn't have proper moisture content as we age,
2:02.8	creating areas of lipstick lines and peri-oral rites. So taking care of hydration levels and
2:10.8	moisturizing is so important. It's important to exfoliate your lips to keep them looking youthful.
