THIN LIPS

WHAT ARE THIN LIPS?

The lips are a sensitive facial feature that can vary in shape and size. They can be perceived as ‘thin’ when they are smaller in volume than a person would prefer. Either the top, bottom, or both of the lips can be affected which can cause an imbalance, not just to the proportions of the mouth, but to the facial profile as a whole.

WHAT CAUSES THIN LIPS?

Thin lips can be a characteristic that a person has possessed throughout their life, which is often due to inherited genetics. When ageing is involved, it can decrease the volume of the lips and change the way that they appear.

Collagen is a fibrous protein that is found abundantly in the skin. It acts as a natural filler in the skin, ensuring the complexion appears firm and full, as well as providing strength to the underlying structure. Like other parts of the face and body, lips lose volume with age as collagen levels begin to decline. In addition, the skin around the mouth is also much more delicate than the rest of the face, which affects how the lips are supported.

HOW CAN I TREAT THIN LIPS?

At The Facebible we use dermal fillers as a safe and effective solution for improving the shape and size of the lips. We select only the most reputable brands of lip fillers; whose unique formulations take a gentle approach to the application of this treatment.

Dermal fillers can be administered to either one or both of the lips to create a fuller appearance that may also help to redefine the shape, improve asymmetry, generate a noticeable cupid’s bow and achieve a more balanced top-to-bottom lip ratio.
