Thinner lips are a common sign of ageing, often leaving individuals longing for a fuller, more youthful appearance. At Dr Ed Robinson Clinics in Hale, near Altrincham, we specialise in non-surgical treatments to enhance and rejuvenate thin lips.
Understanding Thin Lips
As we age, several anatomical changes contribute to thinner lips:
-
VOLUME LOSS
With age the lips lose volume and the border softens, so they can look thinner. -
COLLAGEN LOSS
Reduced collagen production leads to less plump and firm lips. -
DECREASED HYALURONIC ACID
This essential component for hydration diminishes over time, causing a loss of fullness and small lips. -
ELASTICITY REDUCTION
The skin around the lips loses elasticity, contributing to fine lines and a less defined lip contour. -
STRUCTURAL CHANGES
Natural reshaping of the facial bone structure with age can alter appearance leading to thinner lips
