Are thick lips hereditary?

The shape of lips has a great impact on one's image. Beautiful and delicate lips can make a person look more delicate and charming. Everyone's lips are almost different, some are big, some are small, and some are thick, some are thin. The shape of the lips is formed by many factors. For example, is thick lips caused by genetics? Let’s take a look at the explanation below, I hope everyone can understand it.

Thick or thin lips, single or double eyelids, big or small eyelids, etc. are all hereditary. Inheritance is the phenomenon in which DNA, the genetic material, is passed from parents to offspring. But genetic genes are divided into recessive genes and dominant genes, and only dominant genes can make characteristics appear. It will usually be passed on to the next generation. If you don't like it, you can have plastic surgery to treat it.

The thickness of lips is more likely to be inherited by children. Although we don't know much about the inheritance of lips, we know that it is a dominant genetic factor that makes the upper lip thinner and it is also a dominant genetic factor that makes the lower lip bulge. If one of the mother or father has these characteristics, generally speaking, it will be passed on to the child in a ratio of 1 in 2. In addition, there is a shallow groove between the nose and the mouth, and the genetic factor that causes this part to become longer is also dominant.

There is a saying that "children look more like their opposite-sex parent." But in fact, from facial features such as eyes, nose, and mouth to body shape, children inherit genetic factors of various physical elements from their parents at the same time. Since the influence of genetic factors obtained from mom or dad is the same, it is unscientific to say that the opposite sex has a greater influence. Therefore, although this statement is widely circulated, it has no scientific basis. It is probably just a rough judgment based on some of the features shown on the child's face.
