Your mouth does a lot: singing, smiling, kissing, speaking, laughing... As the years go by, these activities all take their toll.
The first place many women start to see wrinkles and lines is around their mouth. 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. Put these factors together and eventually you get wrinkles.
It is unfortunate that, when someone looks at you, they first notice your mouth and eyes. Bright lipstick brings even more awareness to the mouth area, making those tiny wrinkles seem worse. For many, wrinkles and textural changes begin to extend out from the mouth onto the chin and middle parts of the cheeks and with collagen loss, the skin begins to sag, contributing to a less firm jawline, or even jowls.
You've heard the downsides. Fortunately, there are some things to do about it.
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. Small Botox treatments can help alleviate strong pursed lips, but won't take away those wrinkles that look like they were carved in.
Collagen production decreases when we get older. 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. Voluminous lips become a thing of the past. 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. 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?"
"Duck face" is a common worry, and we agree nobody should have this look! Filler can be added in increments to create a natural line around the mouth, if the injector has experience.
The biggest problem at times, is knowing what your limits are. If you have small lips, you can only enhance them to a degree.
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.
