Have you always wanted fuller or more defined lips? Genetics do not always give you the look you desire for your features. However, there are options to improve features like your lips to give you what genetics did not. Lip augmentation can permanently change the shape or fullness of your lips to give you the pucker and smile you always wanted.

Lip Augmentation Options

There is not a one-size-fits all when it comes to lip cosmetic procedures. Like any facial feature, you want your lips to blend with your other features and look balanced. Too much enhancement may make your lips look out of place, but too thin of lips without shape can detract from your smile. A talented plastic surgeon can help you find the right shape and fullness for your lips to make you look your best. Some lip augmentations you may consider include:

  • Enhance the Cupid’s bow at the top of your lip
  • Fat injections or transfers for improved fullness and reduced lines
  • Lip implants
  • Lip lift

Some people only want thicker lips, while others want to add volume and change their lip shape. If lost volume is due to getting older, you may also want to fill in lines around the lips. You can work with your plastic surgeon to find the best combination of techniques to create the look you desire.

Your lips and smile are one of the first features that people notice about you. Make your lips look their best by seeking the assistance of a plastic surgeon. Schedule a consultation with a talented plastic surgeon to discuss permanently enhancing your lips through augmentation.

Are Your Lips Making You Look Older?

Most people think that crow’s feet around the eyes or forehead wrinkles are the tell-tale signs of getting older. However, lips can be just as revealing. As you get older, your lips can thin and small wrinkles can appear around the outside. Women who wear lipstick may notice small lipstick lines that “bleed” and leave lines of color around the lips.  Your lips can become thinner, with less volume. So how do you keep your lips looking younger?

Changes to Aging Lips

Your lips have the thin skin covering them, making them vulnerable to wrinkles. The protective layer of oils and water is also thinner than other types of skin. Exposure to the sun and elements can causing wrinkling on and around the lips, even quicker than other areas like the eyes and forehead.

In addition, the lips, like other skin, loses collagen and the fat layer under the skin as it ages. This leaves the lips looking thin, without the soft volume that is usually common when you are younger. Lips are less voluptuous and can become much smaller in size.

Combatting Aging Lips

There are ways to combat aging in your lips, helping you look younger. First, lips like all skin need sunscreen and moisture to fight early aging. Secondly, a cosmetic surgeon can offer several ways to reverse the aging issues like wrinkles and less volume. Temporary fixes can include fillers that can reduce lines and wrinkles or add volume to the lips. Permanent solutions include fat transfers and lip lifts that can bring back the youthful look to your lips and smile.

Don’t let your lips give away your age. Consult a plastic surgeon to explore cosmetic options to give your lips a younger appearance.
