Pefect full lips have long been a sign of youth and health. As we age our lips tend to atrophy (become thinner) and involute (loose volume) causing a pursed, thinner and unfriendly appearance. Diminution of lips leads to loss of definition of the lip border and a flattened contour. The development of upper and lower lip wrinkles further impair definition of the lip border and ofter cause "bleeding" of lipstick. Other factors such as the normal aging process, sun exposure, genetics, lifestyle (smoking) and pursing of the lips while talking may contribute to more advanced wrinkles and loss of definition of the lip. Many individuals will benefit from treatment leading to enhancement and/or improved definition of the lip. Our doctor recommends fillers such as Restylane primarily because they require virtually no downtime, are safe, long-lasting but not permanent and produce very pleasing, natural results without the need for surgery. Treatment is painless and can be done during a lunch hour. Lip enhancement or lip augmentation is a personalized treatment requiring assessment and consideration of an individuals needs and desires.
