Your mouth does a lot: singing, smiling, kissing, speaking, laughing... As the years go by, these activities all take their toll.
The area around the mouth is where most women begin to notice lines and wrinkles. The skin here moves as much as any skin on the face, bending and folding as we exploit its many uses. Even for those who are careful with sunscreen, hats and visors, the lower half of the face often receives more sun damage. Wrinkles are inevitable with all these factors.
The eyes and mouth are the focus points when we look at someone, unfortunately. Wrinkles can appear worse when wearing colourful lipstick, because it attracts more attention to the mouth. Most people find that the changes radiate from the mouth toward the cheeks and chin, and as collagen is lost, the jawline becomes soft and saggy.
It's not all awful news though. Thankfully, we have some remedies.
In the past, fewer tools were available to fix facial flaws. Even expertly-done facelifts fail to address skin tone in the mouth region; they frequently leave this area wrinkly and standing out in comparison to the rest of the face. Botox in small quantities can help reduce aggressive lip pursing, but can't treat etched in lines and wrinkles.
Our bodies produce less collagen as we age. Years of damage from the sun and other factors add up, and the collagen breakdown process happens even faster. That's what ultimately leads to laxity and wrinkles. Our lips lose volume as time passes. To begin to address the problem, we must avoid UV damage from the sun, keep the body hydrated and nourished, and use omega-3 supplements as well as antioxidants. Luckily, small quantities of filler bring back shape, and soften small wrinkles.
Research has now suggested that fuller lips may have as much to do with a woman's perceived age as the appearance of wrinkles. The volume in your lips starts to decline as early as in the mid-30s. The question often asked by patients is, "How can you create a natural-looking, full lip without overdoing it?"
Many women are worried about getting "duck lips" or "platypus lips". We've all seen it and no one wants this look! But, if the injector is experienced, natural lips can be created by adding filler in increments.
It is important to know one's personal limits. If you have small lips, you can only enhance them to a degree.
It's not just about filling the lips. One needs to consider the entire face and understand the balance of the lips as it pertains to the rest of the face. Not all injectors have an artistic eye or understand the anatomy of the face. Finding an experienced, artistically talented injector is key.
