Face | Lips & Mouth
The lips, as well as the area around the mouth, are two of the most commonly treated areas in aesthetic medicine. As we grow older, soft tissue is lost from the mouth area causing the lips to become thin and lines to appear. At the same time, bone reabsorption occurs, leading to a loss of structural support which in turn creates a tired and sagging appearance. Often, this process is exacerbated by environmental factors such as ultraviolet light and nicotine exposure. The mainstay of treating the lips and mouth area is by restoring lost volume with the use of dermal fillers.

Finding the right treatment for your concern
Achieving a natural effect
Historically, when dermal fillers were first pioneered, the focus was on treating the lips and the lines around the mouth, in order to smooth the skin. Fortunately, things have evolved considerably since the early days of filler: both in terms of the product technology, but also our understanding of how to use them. Today, we work with soft dermal fillers which are specifically formulated for this area and designed to integrate with your own natural tissues. In doing so, we are able to restore what has been lost over time – rather than to create something that nature never intended.
How lips affect our self-image
One of the most common complaints from the women who come to our clinic are the lines above the top lip – often referred to as ‘smokers lines’. When we speak to these women in more detail about why these lip lines bother them so much, they explain that these lines make them look tired – however, when we stand back and objectively look at the lines, they are often one tiny symptom of a much bigger global change. To really address the true underlying problem – the feeling of looking tired – we must address the other issues arising around the mouth area, in harmony with the lip lines. Above all, it is essential that treatment of this area should always remain undetectable.
