Lip Augmentation

Who gets lip fillers?

Restoring a previous lip size. As you age, your lips may get smaller or thinner, your philtrum (the groove between your upper lip and septum) may get longer and flatter and the distance between the corners of your mouth (intercommissural distance) may increase. Correcting the shape of your lips. It’s common for your lips to be different sizes or shapes (asymmetrical). Smoothing wrinkles. When you smile or laugh, wrinkles sometimes develop on the sides of your mouth. Boosting confidence. Lip fillers can help improve your self-esteem and body image.

Why are lip fillers used?

Lip fillers restore or add volume to your lips. They don’t stop the aging process, but they might help delay the need for a more invasive surgical lip augmentation, like lip implants or a lip lift. They can also help you achieve a desired look, which boosts your self-esteem.

Over time, you may lose volume in your lips. You may lose volume as a result of:

- Genetics
- Smoking
- Sun damage
