Thinning Lips

Our lips are extremely delicate and are consequently susceptible to environmental factors such as sun damage and prone to signs of ageing. We all know that as we age, our skin’s collagen levels decline. But did you know that the amount of collagen in our lips decreases at a much faster rate? However, our medical doctors at Aesthetics of The Royal Liver Building are experienced with lip fillers, and our Lip Enhancement treatment is a revolutionary non-surgical method of addressing thin lips.

Like the rest of the face, the lips undergo changes as we age. Due to the thin and delicate skin on the mouth, the lips are more susceptible to developing wrinkles. Ageing leads to the loss of collagen and elastin, forming small creases around the mouth known as lip lines or smokers’ lines. As we age, the density of the lip tissue decreases, causing the lips to become thinner as the youthful volume diminishes. Some individuals naturally have thinner lips and asymmetrical lips or lack a well-defined cupid’s bow (the v shape at the centre of the top lip). In such cases, individuals may feel that this aspect of their face is not as harmonious as the rest.
