How every claim here is checked
Lip shape guidance is full of numbers nobody measured. These are the rules this site follows so you can tell the difference.

Three levels of claim, always labelled
The biggest problem in this topic is that invented statistics look identical to measured ones. So every claim is placed in one of three buckets and worded accordingly.
- Published measurement
- A figure from anthropometric or aesthetic-medicine literature. Always given as a range, never as one tidy number, and always with the caveat that samples are modest and populations vary. Example: average adult lip width around 51 mm.
- Practitioner observation
- Something injectors and makeup artists consistently report, but which nobody has counted across a population. Described as observation in the text, not as data. Example: thin being the most common lip shape.
- Unsupported
- A claim in wide circulation with no source behind it. Either left out, or included specifically to say it is invented. Example: exact rarity percentages for particular lip shapes.
How a page gets made
-
Establish what the question actually is
Before writing, we look at what people searching the topic want: a definition, a comparison, a decision, or reassurance. A page that answers a different question well is still a page that failed.
-
Find the primary source, not the summary
Where a figure exists, we go to the research or the clinical reference rather than repeating another site’s version of it. Numbers that circulate widely without a traceable origin get flagged rather than repeated.
-
Write the answer first
Every section opens with the direct answer in the first sentence, then supports it. If the honest answer is “no”, the word “no” is the first word.
-
State the uncertainty in the same breath
A figure without its range is a false precision. If evidence is thin, contested, or population-specific, the page says so where the claim appears, not in a footnote nobody reads.
-
Check the tool agrees with the text
The lip shape detector and the written guidance have to say the same thing. When the measurement thresholds changed to match published upper-to-lower ratio ranges, the pages describing those ranges were updated in the same pass.
-
Review, date, and revisit
A named person reviews the page before publication, the review date goes on it, and it is rechecked at least every twelve months or sooner if something changes.
Independence and money
What we do not take
- Advertising of any kind
- Affiliate commission on products or treatments

Why it matters here
Lip shape content sits next to two large industries: cosmetics and aesthetic medicine. Both benefit when a reader concludes their lips need changing.
A guide that earns money from that conclusion cannot be neutral about it, however careful the writer is. Removing the income removes the pressure.
Use of AI tools
Tools are used for drafting and editing. A named human is accountable for every published sentence.
No page goes live without being read, checked and edited by Rizwan Aslam. Any factual claim that originated with a tool is verified against a source before it appears, because language models produce confident, plausible numbers that do not exist. In a topic already full of invented statistics, that failure mode is the exact one this site is trying to correct.
The byline on each page is a statement of responsibility, not a formality. If something here is wrong, a person is answerable for it.
Corrections
Errors are fixed in the open
When a factual claim turns out to be wrong, the page is corrected, a note is added saying what changed, and the review date is updated. Factual changes are not made silently.
If the error changed the advice in a way that mattered, the note says what the page previously claimed so you can judge whether you acted on the old version.

Where this site stops
Lip shape is a makeup and grooming topic, not a medical one. This site does not diagnose, does not assess health, and does not advise on whether any cosmetic procedure is suitable for you.
Where a question crosses that line, the answer is to see a qualified practitioner, not a longer article. A recent or one-sided change in your lip is the clearest example: it belongs with a doctor, and no chart should try to reassure you about it.
The full boundaries are set out in the disclaimer.
Policy questions
Does Lip Shape Chart accept sponsorship or affiliate income?
No. There are no ads, no affiliate links, no sponsored posts, no paid links and no products. The site earns nothing from any recommendation it makes. This is the single most important part of the policy, because every other rule is easier to follow when no revenue depends on breaking it.
How do you decide what counts as a fact?
Claims are sorted into three levels and labelled accordingly. Published measurement means a figure from anthropometric or aesthetic-medicine literature, and it is given as a range. Practitioner observation means something injectors and makeup artists consistently report but nobody has measured, and it is described as observation. Unsupported means a claim in circulation with no source behind it, which is either left out or named as invented.
Is content on this site written by AI?
Drafting and editing tools are used, and a named human is responsible for every published sentence. No page is published without being read, checked and edited by Rizwan Aslam, and the author byline is a statement of accountability rather than a formality. Any factual claim generated by a tool is verified against a source before it appears.
How often are pages reviewed?
Every page carries a review date and is checked at least every twelve months. A page is reviewed sooner when new research changes a figure, when a reader reports an error, or when the tool’s measurement logic changes in a way that affects what the page says.
What happens when you get something wrong?
The page is corrected, the correction is noted on the page rather than hidden, and the review date is updated. Silent edits are not used for factual changes. If the error changed the advice materially, the note says what the page previously claimed.
