Your mouth does a lot: singing, smiling, kissing, speaking, laughing... Over time, all this action has an impact.
The area around the mouth is where most women begin to notice lines and wrinkles. Just like on the rest of the face, the skin in this area folds and bends as we use it. Sunblock, visors and hats help, however the lower portion of the face usually still suffers greater damage from the sun. Wrinkles are inevitable with all these factors.
Unfortunately, when people look at us, their eyes focus on two things: our eyes and mouth. Add in a brightly colored lipstick to draw even more attention to the area and those little lines start to become a bigger problem. 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.
You've heard the downsides. 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.
As we age, our rate of collagen production slows. Unfortunately, given accumulated years of sun and environmental damage, our rate of collagen breakdown rapidly increases. This is what eventually causes wrinkles and loose skin. Our lips lose volume as time passes. Reducing sun damage, hydrating and nourishing our bodies, supplementing with omega-3s and antioxidants are all a start. Thankfully, just a small amount of filler improves the skin's contour, while smoothing wrinkles.
Science suggests that a woman's perceived age may be influenced as much by the volume of her lips as by the amount of wrinkles she has. 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?"
An experienced injector will add filler gradually, giving the mouth a natural, full look. We want to avoid unattractive 'platypus lips'.
Sometimes, it is hard to know where your limit is. Only so much can be done with small lips.
Filling the lips is not the only consideration. One must look at the lips in relation to the entire face. Not every technician is able to do this in an artful way, and not everyone comprehends facial anatomy. Finding an experienced, artistically talented injector is key.
