COSMETIC TREATMENT

Lip shape and volume

For younger patients, some of the common concerns or signs are a thin upper lip vermilion, a very small mouth, asymmetrical lip sizes, a genetic deformity, and/or a general dissatisfaction with the size of the lips and a desire to balance out the facial features.

In older, aging patients, symptoms of thinning lips include lines and wrinkles forming on the lips, a gradual loss of volume, a diminishing vermilion border, and lips that are fading in lip colour. Many patients also report a change in lip texture, where the skin may begin to feel rough, dry, and damaged.

INDICATIONS

  • Some individuals may have naturally thin lips or lack definition along the lip borders.

  • Uneven or asymmetrical lips can be a source of self-consciousness for some individuals.
