How Lips Change Over Time
With time and recurrent exposure to sun and smoke, the lips can age and lose definition. Elasticity may decrease, muscles around the mouth can thin, and vertical lip lines may appear where they never existed before, especially in smokers. In some patients, the “pink” portion of the lip becomes less visible as the lips thin.
Other common changes may include:
- The upper lip gradually elongating so the upper teeth are no longer seen when smiling
- Deep perpendicular lines in the upper lip (smoker’s lines) that can draw lipstick into them
- Downturned corners of the mouth
- Grooves along the cheeks near the mouth, often called puppet or marionette lines
Lip Rejuvenation And Enhancement Options
Rejuvenation of the lips depends on the specific combination of features a patient has. Lip procedures may balance the upper and lower lips, correct irregularities or deformities, and create a fuller, more youthful look. The approach is customized based on both aging hallmarks and the individual patient’s personal wishes, with careful consideration given to keeping the lips proportionate to the face.
Lip Augmentation And Filling
A thinned lip and the lines near the corners of the mouth can be treated with soft tissue fillers for fuller, softer, natural-looking enhancement. Fillers may be used to add volume, improve shape, and smooth certain lines around the mouth.
Lip Filling And Lip Line Correction
Some patients want focused improvement around the mouth rather than overall lip fullness. In these cases, treatment may be directed toward smoothing vertical lip lines and restoring a cleaner, more youthful lip contour.
Lip Advancement And Lifting
Further bulk and definition may be achieved surgically by rolling the pink mucosa from inside the mouth outward. In some cases, the upper lip may be lifted by removing a small amount of tissue at the base of the nose. This lifts the lip, revealing more of the teeth when smiling.
Lip Smoothing
Deep smoker’s lines may be smoothed with dermabrasion, several deeper chemical peels, or with Botox, depending on the nature of the lines and the patient’s goals.
The Results Are Immediate And Long-Lasting
For treatments performed with soft tissue fillers, results are immediate. Longevity varies depending on the product used and the individual patient, and additional treatment may be recommended over time to maintain results.
Why Choose Cosmetic Surgery Specialists Of Memphis For Lip Augmentation?
Lip enhancement is highly detail-sensitive, and natural-looking results depend on proportion, technique, and careful planning. Dr. Aldea and Dr. Eby tailor each treatment to the patient’s goals, choosing options that support a balanced, refreshed appearance rather than an exaggerated look.
Patients also value the practice’s individualized care and the experience of being treated by board-certified, re-certified plastic surgeons who understand facial aesthetics and how lip shape interacts with the rest of the face. This thoughtful approach helps ensure results that feel appropriate, attractive, and in harmony with each patient’s features.
