Introduction
Thin lips can send the wrong signals, often appearing as shy, uninviting, or cold. These delicate features also hold the secrets of age, as lips naturally lose their fullness with time. At Oceanaconte Spa & Clinic, we specialize in transforming lips, turning them into plump, youthful assets that not only convey vitality but also boost your overall charm and beauty.
Recognizing thin lips:
Insufficient soft tissue in the upper and lower lip lobes.
Lips appearing to disappear when smiling.
Unclear lip lines that lack definition.
Even those with originally fuller lips can experience thinning as they age or due to unhealthy lifestyle habits, resulting in visible lip wrinkles that give away their age.
Drooping lip corners, which can contribute to an aged appearance.
Cause of Thin Lips
Several factors contribute to thin lips, stemming from both genetics and acquired factors:
-
Genetic Factors: The size and thickness of lips are primarily determined by genetic inheritance. If thin lips run in your family, you might have inherited this trait.
-
Aging and Soft Tissue Loss: Lips consist mainly of fat, muscles, subdermal tissue, and skin membranes. As part of the natural aging process, lips gradually lose collagen and fat, leading to thinning.
-
Dryness and Dehydration: Dehydration leads to dry, peeling lips and can cause lip wrinkles to deepen.
-
UV-Induced Photodamage: UV radiation can damage collagen, causing lips to thin and form wrinkles.
-
Smoking: Smoking damages collagen, accelerates soft tissue loss, and dehydrates the body, all contributing to thinner lips.
Treatments
HA Dermal Fillers for Lips
Whether your lips are naturally thin or have thinned over time, a minimal amount of hyaluronic acid can work wonders. It restores lost soft tissue, plumping thin or deflated lips to your desired shape. Fuller lips not only eliminate the tired, aging appearance but also give your face a rejuvenated and youthful look. We exclusively use Juvederm, a US FDA and CE-certified hyaluronic acid brand. Our medical professionals will choose the softest product model that aligns with your unique needs.
Botox Lip Flip
If you wish to enhance your upper lip without altering its thickness, a small amount of Botox can help. Our expert physicians inject a minimal amount of Botox into the superficial muscle of your upper lip, achieving a natural, slightly turned-out effect. The Botox lip flip procedure requires only a minimal amount and takes just 10-15 minutes, providing a pouty effect that lasts for 3-4 months.
