Smiling, laughing, singing, speaking romantic phrases and puckering for a kiss - your mouth does all this. Unfortunately, all these activities take a toll over the years.
The area around the mouth is where most women begin to notice lines and wrinkles. Just like on the rest of the face, the skin in this area folds and bends as we use it. The lower half of the face is often damaged more by sun, even for those who take care to use sunblock, visors and hats. Wrinkles are inevitable with all these factors.
Unfortunately, when people look at us, their eyes focus on two things: our eyes and mouth. Bright lipstick brings even more awareness to the mouth area, making those tiny wrinkles seem worse. Once these changes begin, the wrinkles increase around the chin and cheeks. Collagen also disappears, making the entire jaw region slack and flabby.
You've heard the downsides. Luckily, there are solutions.
In days of old, there were fewer methods to address aging skin near the lips. Surgical procedures like face lifts do not fix flaws in skin near the lips, and even when done properly, there is a sharp contrast to the otherwise tight facial skin. Aggressive lip pursing can be treated with Botox in small amounts, however it won't fix those deep wrinkles and lines.
Collagen production decreases when we get older. Collagen breaks down even faster as the years of sunshine and other environmental damage add up. That's what ultimately leads to laxity and wrinkles. Voluminous lips become a thing of the past. Basic skin care includes hydration and proper nutrition, keeping out of the sun, using omega-3 supplements and getting plenty of antioxidants. Thankfully, just a small amount of filler improves the skin's contour, while smoothing wrinkles.
Research has now suggested that fuller lips may have as much to do with a woman's perceived age as the appearance of wrinkles. Once we reach our mid-30s, the volume of the lips declines gradually. Many clients ask how they can have full, natural lips without too much maintenance.
"Duck face" is a common worry, and we agree nobody should have this look! Filler can be added in increments to create a natural line around the mouth, if the injector has experience.
It is important to know one's personal limits. If you have small lips, you can only enhance them to a degree.
There is more to this than just filling lines around the mouth though. There is a fine balance in the relationship between the face and the mouth. It's important to have an injector who considers this artistically and knows about the anatomy of the face. Locating an artful and talented injector, who is also experienced, is paramount.
