Your mouth does a lot: singing, smiling, kissing, speaking, laughing... Unfortunately, all these activities take a toll over the years.
The first place many women start to see wrinkles and lines is around their mouth. Just like on the rest of the face, the skin in this area folds and bends as we use it. Sunblock, visors and hats help, however the lower portion of the face usually still suffers greater damage from the sun. Wrinkles are inevitable with all these factors.
Unfortunately, when people look at us, their eyes focus on two things: our eyes and mouth. Wrinkles can appear worse when wearing colourful lipstick, because it attracts more attention to the mouth. 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. Fortunately, there are some things to do about it.
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. Small Botox treatments can help alleviate strong pursed lips, but won't take away those wrinkles that look like they were carved in.
Our bodies produce less collagen as we age. Unfortunately, given accumulated years of sun and environmental damage, our rate of collagen breakdown rapidly increases. This is what eventually causes wrinkles and loose skin. Over time, we do lose volume in our lips. Reducing sun damage, hydrating and nourishing our bodies, supplementing with omega-3s and antioxidants are all a start. Thankfully, just a small amount of filler improves the skin's contour, while smoothing wrinkles.
Science suggests that a woman's perceived age may be influenced as much by the volume of her lips as by the amount of wrinkles she has. 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'.
It is important to know one's personal limits. 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. Finding an experienced, artistically talented injector is key.
