Thin Lips

The size and shape of a person’s lips can vary, as it is inherited genetics that usually determines the appearance of this sensual facial feature. Having thin lips can be a characteristic that one has possessed genetically throughout their life, or can develop as part of the ageing process.

The mouth receives a lot of attention, as one of the main points of focus on the face, greatly observed as we talk, laugh, express emotions and communicate with others. When this feature sees a decline in volume the individual can often feel like they have lost an attractive feature and have started to look stern.

The lips lose volume through ageing as collagen levels, just like other areas of the face and body, start to diminish. The skin around the mouth is also much more delicate than other areas, which affects the way in which the lips are supported.

Collagen is a naturally occurring protein that acts as the skin’s natural filler, so when volume declines and skin becomes fragile, it can result in lips that are thinner in appearance.

When treating the lips to create a fuller appearance, adding volume requires a gentler approach. Dermal fillers can apply the extra volume that thinner lips need to become perter and volumised.

Lip fillers can also help to address asymmetry of the lips, leaving them not only plumper and more luscious, but also more finely balanced to suit your face.
