A safe, well-studied option for lip augmentation with natural-looking results.
Thin Lips
As we age, we lose facial volume generally, and the lips are no exception: they deflate, lose some of their natural color, and the defined edge along the lip border, called the vermillion border, becomes less distinct. Whether you were born with naturally thinner lips or have noticed them thinning with age, wanting to do something about it is completely normal, and so is wanting a result that still looks like you rather than overdone.
How It Happens
Understanding
Thin Lips
Sun exposure, smoking, and natural volume loss are the three main contributors to thinning lips. The good news is that lips with good existing volume can often be enhanced simply by adding more definition to specific areas, while lips that have already lost their border definition can be redefined using current injection techniques. Asymmetries between the two sides of the lips can also be corrected as part of the same treatment.
Prevention
Using a lipstick or lip balm with at least SPF 15 protects this often-overlooked area from the same UV damage that accelerates aging everywhere else on the face.
How We Treat Thin Lips
Fat Transfer
A longer-term option using your own tissue, though it involves more time and there is some variability in how well the transferred fat survives.
Topical treatments
Can also help in more minor cases; products like the ZO LipRebuild Advanced Therapy can restore dry, cracked lips and offer some natural plumping.
ALMI
A newer process for fat transfer that is showing promise for improving both volume and consistency of results.
