Lips can lose fullness for a variety of reasons including aging, environmental and occupational factors. Most people experience volume loss due to decrease in structure and hydration. This is due to the decrease in collagen and other connective tissue as they age as well as the ability to hold onto moisture. Bony changes around the mouth can also lead to the lengthening of the top lip as we age.
Lips also define the face – not all of us were born with the perfect pout. Wanting fuller lips are becoming the norm and we are seeing more and more younger patients interesting in lip enhancement to further enhance their already beautiful features.
