Your mouth does a lot: singing, smiling, kissing, speaking, laughing... Over time, all this action has an impact.
The first place many women start to see wrinkles and lines is around their mouth. The skin here moves as much as any skin on the face, bending and folding as we exploit its many uses. 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. Add in a brightly colored lipstick to draw even more attention to the area and those little lines start to become a bigger problem. Most people find that the changes radiate from the mouth toward the cheeks and chin, and as collagen is lost, the jawline becomes soft and saggy.
It's not all awful news though. Thankfully, we have some remedies.
In the past, fewer tools were available to fix facial flaws. Even expertly-done facelifts fail to address skin tone in the mouth region; they frequently leave this area wrinkly and standing out in comparison to the rest of the face. 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. To begin to address the problem, we must avoid UV damage from the sun, keep the body hydrated and nourished, and use omega-3 supplements as well as antioxidants. Fortunately, subtle amounts of filler can help restore natural contours, and gently smooth some fine lines.
Research has now suggested that fuller lips may have as much to do with a woman's perceived age as the appearance of wrinkles. Lip volume begins to decrease once we are in our mid-30s. Most patients want to know how to achieve voluminous, natural lips without going overboard.
An experienced injector will add filler gradually, giving the mouth a natural, full look. We want to avoid unattractive 'platypus lips'.
Sometimes, it is hard to know where your limit is. Small lips can only be changed so much.
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.
