Will the Bella Lip Appliance Make You More Kissable? (Product Review)

Last week I was introduced to Dr. Maryam Bakhtiyari, maker of the Bella Lip Appliance. A strange-looking device, this gadget, intended for therapeutic purposes, may have some interesting uses for beauty fitness. And I got the whole story straight from the inventor. But does it actually work? I intended to find out! 

But first, let’s go back to why Dr. Bakhtiyari invented a therapeutic mouth exerciser in the first place.

What is the Bella Lip Appliance?

Dr. Bakhtiyari is a dentist with a passion for clean living. The doctor was working on creating a physical therapy device to aid patients with sleep apnea and TMJ issues. The TMJ jaw exercising appliance Dr. Bakhtiyari created had some startling side effects. It makes lips fuller and jaw muscles firm, which can result in a more sculpted jawline. Realizing that she was on something revolutionary for the beauty industry, Dr. Bakhtiyari dubbed it “beauty fitness” and set to work creating an all-natural route to facial health.

The benefits of this lip exercise device

Her invention, now packaged and called the Bella Lip Appliance uses all of Dr. Bakhtiyari’s research in a patented, BPA-free, medical-grade gadget with the potential to strengthen all 57 facial muscles.

This small plastic mouthpiece that looks a bit like a Medival torture device is designed to work out your face the way a Stairmaster works your lower body. The good news is, according to the doctor, you only have to use it for one minute per day for optimal results. And we all can find one minute in our day to improve our mouths, cheeks, tongues and jaws.

My review

I took one of the Bella Lip Appliances home and tried it for a week. And I have come to the conclusion that this device just might be an aphrodisiac itself. First of all, it strengthens all the muscles you need to use to chew, kiss and even whisper sweet nothings.

And I’ve been told that just watching a woman strengthen her pout with this funny-looking little device has an aphrodisiac effect on men.

To use the Bella Lip Appliance, you put each of the plastic ends of the device on your lips. Then you make repetitive chewing motions. I feel ridiculous doing it and I’ve only tried it when nobody is looking. But I hope to one day come out of the closet and experiment with that effect for myself.

On top of this bizarre and unexpected side effect, this appliance has some very real results for which I deem it unquestionably aphrodisiac. It really does make your lips look more full, albeit subtly. I can feel it strengthen my cheek muscles as well.

I can’t yet speak to whether it will give me a sexy jawline, as I’ve only been using it for one week, but I have high hopes for the future. As for beauty fitness, I can confirm that using this device for a minute a day makes my mouth feel thoroughly worked out and, ultimately, stronger. (And this is ultimately a great thing for me since I suffer from TMJ issues!)

Where to get the Bella device

The appliance is expensive, but far less so than the injections, it has the potential to replace.

Although the Bella Lip Appliance looks like a fairly flimsy little exercise tool, Dr. Bakhtiyari tells me that she’s been testing the device for over five years and assures me that my mouthpiece will last at least that long, even with daily use.
