Smiling, laughing, singing, speaking romantic phrases and puckering for a kiss - your mouth does all this. Over time, all this action has an impact.
The first place most women begin to see lines and wrinkles is near their mouth. The skin around the mouth moves like any facial skin; it folds and creases when we make use of it. The lower half of the face is often damaged more by sun, even for those who take care to use sunblock, visors and hats. All these factors gradually lead to wrinkles.
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.
That's the bad news. Luckily, there are solutions.
In days of old, there were fewer methods to address aging skin near the lips. 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. Aggressive lip pursing can be treated with Botox in small amounts, however it won't fix those deep wrinkles and lines.
Collagen production decreases when we get older. Collagen breaks down even faster as the years of sunshine and other environmental damage add up. So, we get wrinkly, lined skin in the end. 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. Fortunately, subtle amounts of filler can help restore natural contours, and gently smooth some fine lines.
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. Once we reach our mid-30s, the volume of the lips declines gradually. Many clients ask how they can have full, natural lips without too much maintenance.
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. Only so much can be done with small lips.
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. It is vital to find an injector with experience and artistic talent.
