Why Do Lips Thin Over Time?
Collagen loss over time leads to lip thinning. Sun exposure, facial movement, and gravity also contribute to volume loss. Collagen loss steadily decreases at about 1-1.5% every year, starting in your 20s. This can lead to a flat Cupid’s bow, overall lip thinning, drooping lip corners, and thin vertical lines in and around the lips. These changes can make you self-conscious, especially if your lipstick tends to “bleed” into these fine lines. Fortunately, lip fillers provide an easy way to restore volume and create a youthful, natural look.
What If I Have Naturally Thin Lips?
Millions of people have thin lips from the time they’re born. While thin lips were once widely considered the very picture of perfection, today’s beauty ideals emphasize plump, pouty lips. You might feel insecure or embarrassed about your lips and want more lip volume to feel more confident. Fillers can come to the rescue, increasing lip volume and improving lip shape and definition.
How Lip Fillers Can Enhance Your Appearance
Lip fillers, such as Juvéderm® and other hyaluronic acid (HA)-based products, are a safe and effective way to enhance lips. Whether you want to add fullness, improve symmetry, or erase lip-area lines, fillers can help you achieve your goals. The results are natural because Dr. Brown tailors your filler injections to complement your unique facial features. Unlike outdated silicone injections, which often result in unnatural “duck lips,” today’s fillers move with your lips, integrating seamlessly for a natural, authentic-looking enhancement.
What to Expect During Your Lip Filler Appointment
The process of receiving lip fillers is quick and relatively painless. Dr. Brown primarily uses fillers, like Juvéderm family products, with a local anesthetic built into the formula. She also applies topical numbing to ensure your comfort. Injections are quick, and most patients tolerate them very well. It’s normal to have some swelling and possibly bruising afterward, but these side effects typically subside quickly.
Lip augmentation results may vary based on the specific filler formula and your body’s unique response. On average, most patients enjoy 6-12 months of improvement after treatment with HA lip fillers.
