If you're going to do it, then do put your money where your mouth is. Lip enhancement can look natural, balanced, and harmonious. For some, it is a worthwhile investment.
Naturally, lips have some features that may be enhanced. With age, however, the lips undergo these changes:
-loss of volume
-loss of collagen
-loss of elasticity
-development of fine (vertical) lines and wrinkles
-loss of lip definition
-widening of corners of mouth (commissures)
-corners of mouth turn down
Excess sun exposure and smoking exacerbate these changes. What can be done?
Maintaining a reliable overall skin care regimen may help to keep the skin around the (red) lips supple and smooth.
To help combat the loss of volume, lip augmentation with a filler is a reasonable and appropriate choice to add volume and definition.
The injection of neuromodulators, such as Botox, Xeomin, and Disport, may help to ameliorate the vertical fine lines of the upper and lower lips.
Age-related changes to the lips do not have to give your age away. You can maintain your air of mystery
while optimizing your allure. There are many options available to you, so talk to your plastic surgeon.
