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. All these factors gradually lead to wrinkles.
The eyes and mouth are the focus points when we look at someone, unfortunately. Bright lipstick brings even more awareness to the mouth area, making those tiny wrinkles seem worse. 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. Fortunately, there are some things to do about it.
Traditionally, cosmetic practitioners have had less tools to deal with problem areas around the mouth. Surgery such as a face lift can't change the quality of skin around the mouth, often leaving this area wrinkled in glaring contrast to an otherwise taut face after a well done procedure. 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. That's what ultimately leads to laxity and wrinkles. Over time, we do lose volume in our lips. 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?"
"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.
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.
