In this tutorial, we'll learn how to retouch a photo to create a subtle, realistic smile using the new addition to the Face-Aware Liquify filter , introduced in version 2020.5.
The Face Aware Liquify toolkit allows you to quickly and easily change facial expressions, turn a frowning person into a smiling one, or show more complex emotions. However, if you overdo it, you can get an unnatural result (more likely even a caricature), you should know that adding a smile is not just raising the corners of the lips up, of course, unless you want your subject to look like Heath Ledger's Joker from Batman, a smiling maniac with cold eyes.
To avoid this, it is necessary to change a number of other facial features.
In this tutorial, photographer Tigz Rice shows how to use Face Aware Liquify in Photoshop for natural-looking results.
Tigz says the key to getting realistic results is to make small adjustments slowly, in small steps, while maintaining the original, and comparing your changes to it to make sure you don't overdo it.
FLABBY, WRINKLED LABIAS
Over the years, not only a woman’s face and figure change, but also her external genitalia. Alas, the skin of the intimate area loses its elasticity and firmness with age and, under the influence of the laws of gravity, inevitably begins to sag. In girls and young girls, tissue turgor is always good (they usually have tight labia). In adult women it varies, in women after menopause it is weak (flabby lips). A similar phenomenon is observed to one degree or another after childbirth.
Thus, the natural process becomes clear when the tension and turgor of the external genitalia decreases with age. At one fine, or not so fine, moment, you take a closer look at your intimate place, perhaps spying on how IT looks there on your girlfriends... And, as practice shows, the fair half is very upset by the discovered external manifestations of aging, which inevitably occur with their vulva and vagina throughout life.
The most typical questions from patients to a specialist in aesthetic gynecology at our clinic: “...I regularly do full epilation of the intimate area, I like it. But over time, I began to notice that the labia inside were somehow flabby, wrinkled, and slightly sagging. I’m 35 years old, I didn’t bother before, but now it seems to me that it looks terribly ugly from the outside...”
Expert's answer: Waxing or any other type of hair removal in the deep bikini area does not cause the skin on the vulva to become more wrinkled. Excess wrinkled skin on the labia majora can be caused by a variety of reasons. This can happen if you have lost weight (fat cells shrink), or have an impact on your lifestyle (sitting at a desk all day), or an injury that causes swelling and swelling and leaves the skin stretched. Many women have wrinkles on the labia majora, which are considered normal. If you wish, this can be corrected by removing excess skin in the fold or center of the labia, or by injecting hyaluronic gel.
“...Why does a 29-year-old young girl have flabby labia minora and are all wrinkled, like an old woman’s, and also blackened around the edges? They were always like this, although I didn’t observe such disgrace in other girls. How to get rid of this or is it forever (?..."
Expert's answer: Wrinkling and sagging of the labia may be an individual feature and occur at a young age. In this case, much more often they look like a chaotic, complex formation, folded into numerous folds of skin, often of different lengths. And they are the ones who create discomfort in everyday life, make it difficult to perform hygiene procedures and keep intimate areas clean, and sometimes cause aesthetic concern among their owners.
Meanwhile, the desire to look attractive from head to toe, including an intimate haircut, is inherent in a modern girl at any age.
Genital correction procedures will help give them an attractive appearance and eliminate intimate defects. Enlarged labia minora (elongation, hypertrophy), different sizes, flabby and wrinkled labia minora may be the reason for women to contact our center for consultation with a specialist in intimate surgery.

How to make your labia beautiful
DO YOU NOT LIKE THE flabbiness and wrinkling of your labia lips?
Come for a consultation with a specialist in intimate plastic surgery at our clinic, discuss the problem that concerns you, and find out the most optimal way to solve it.
The main way to eliminate sagging and wrinkled edges of the labia is labiaplasty. In addition to it, you can perform procedures for non-surgical contouring of the external genitalia. Injection rejuvenation of intimate areas allows you to increase tone, change the shape and size of the labia majora and minora, moisturize the mucous membrane of the vaginal vestibule, and enhance sexual sensations by enlarging the G-spot and clitoris.

Carrying out biorevitalization to increase the volume of the labia majora with hyaluronic acid in combination with plasma lifting, mesotherapy, etc. will help to recreate aesthetically attractive lip shapes, get rid of existing difficulties and achieve sexual attractiveness at any age.
How to choose the right patch?
To obtain a lifting effect, you will need high quality kinesio tapes. For home use, BB FACE TAPE™ is considered the best solution. These kinesio tapes have the following advantages:
- They are distinguished by high quality and elasticity;
- They help smooth out even deep wrinkles due to their special structure;
- Taping with these patches can be done quickly and easily, as they are easy to use. Each package of tapes comes with detailed instructions in Russian with the basic rules and techniques for gluing tapes;
- No additional means are required to apply the patch and remove it;
- Kinesio tapes of this brand have many quality certificates and international awards, are made exclusively from organic materials, and are affordable.
For additional lymphatic drainage effect, it is recommended to use BB LYMPH FACE™ perforated facial tapes. Thanks to special slots, this kinesio tape does not need to be cut in a special way (in the shape of an “octopus”, “noodle”, etc.) - it is already ready for use. Lymphatic correction using lymph tape is possible due to the difference in pressure created in the taped area. This effect activates lymph flow and blood circulation. As a result, fluid and metabolic products are removed from the intercellular space, swelling goes away, the skin tightens and becomes firmer and more elastic.
Cross tapes and kinesio: what is the difference?
Today, cross-tapes have become very popular, they relax muscles and restore normal functioning of the whole body. But they should not be confused with aesthetic plasters. Facial tapes have an elastic structure and are designed specifically for rejuvenation. But cross tapes are not elastic at all. If you need to eliminate facial wrinkles, improve your jawline, or perform facial correction, then you need specialized facial tapes - delicate, gentle, elastic. If you want to carry out spot correction of wrinkles in certain areas of the face (for example, in the eye area), then cross tapes and aku tapes will come to your aid; they are very convenient to apply to small areas.

Surgical techniques
Plastic surgery can permanently improve the appearance of your lips. In medical practice, the most common are corner lifting and resection of the depressor muscle.
Corner lifting
The operation involves excision of small areas of skin and muscle above the corners of the upper lip. This directs the corner of the lips upward.
The procedure is performed under local anesthesia and lasts about 40 minutes. The operation is painless, the recovery period lasts for a week.
The sutures are removed on days 4-7. Doctors recommend doing a light lip massage, which will speed up the healing of stitches.
Corner lifting is suitable for older patients, since post-operative scars may be noticeable on young skin. The cosmetic effect can last forever, which is a definite plus.
However, the method also has a number of contraindications - cancer and any chronic diseases, severe autoimmune diseases, allergies to pain medications, acute infectious diseases, pregnancy and lactation.
In the hope of improving your appearance, you need to choose only an experienced surgeon, otherwise a corner lift can result in long procedures for correcting the shape of your lips, their asymmetry and other defects.

Resection of the depressor muscle
Another way to correct the “mask of grief” on the face is resection of the depressor muscle. Its function is to pull the corners of the lips downward. It originates from the edge of the lower jaw bone and goes up, weaving into the skin of the lips.
The surgeon makes a small incision (about 10 mm) on the inside of the mouth and, with a special tool, cuts the muscles in the corners of the mouth and the fibers of the depressor muscle, which contracts and decreases in size. The resulting small hole is subsequently filled with adipose tissue.
The advantages of the operation are its short duration (about 30-40 minutes) and the absence of a postoperative suture, which is located on the inside of the cheek. It is removed 5-6 days after surgery.
During the first few days of the postoperative period, you should regularly rinse your mouth with antiseptic solutions and avoid eating foods that require prolonged chewing.
Contraindications for this method are similar to those for corner lifting.
