Face Concerns
Thin or Ageing Lips
As we age, lips can lose the fullness and definition they once had. The right treatment can restore shape, hydration and a softer, more youthful lip contour without looking overdone.
UNDERSTANDING THE CONCERN
What Causes Thin or Ageing Lips
Lips naturally lose volume and definition with age. The hyaluronic acid that keeps them plump gradually breaks down, the vermilion border becomes less distinct and fine vertical lines can develop around the lip edge. Many patients do not want noticeably fuller lips, they simply want to look like themselves again, or to restore the softness and definition that has faded over time.
Lip anatomy varies considerably between individuals, and the best outcomes come from treatments that work with natural proportions rather than imposing a standard shape. A subtle, well-placed result is almost always more flattering than overt augmentation.”
