As with everything on your body, your lips can become less youthful in appearance as time passes. Your lips are the driest, most delicate part of your face and therefore require the utmost care. From lip enhancing lip balms to lip plumpers, there are now several different options available for both men and women who want their lips to reflect how they feel—not how old they are.

For more information about permanent lip plumping techniques, contact us today to speak with a board certified plastic surgeon who will answer all of your questions regarding lip enhancement surgery.

Aging Lips

As time progresses, lips tend to lose collagen, which can result in thin lips accompanied by fine lines and wrinkles surrounding the mouth. Also, lips have less of an outer layer than other parts of the body and because of this tend to lose oil and water easily, which causes them to thin.

What Other Factors Cause Lips to Change?

Age isn’t the only factor that causes lips to lose their youthfulness. There are several factors that affect the appearance of your lips, including:

• Sun Exposure
• Pollution
• Genetics
• Smoking

Products Can Help

There are several new products and treatments available for those who want to maintain the vitality of their lips while enhancing their pout. Many companies are now providing products that are able to hydrate your lips while plumping them for the night.

Lips can be cared for and enhanced by using any of the following products:

• Lipsticks and glosses with moisturizer and natural plumpers
• Lip balms with natural ingredients like macadamia oil and shea better that make your pout fuller
• Lip treatments that will protect your mouth from the sun while revitalizing with oils, waxes and sugar

Cosmetic Procedures

With so many advances being made in the cosmetic world it’s easy to find a product that will help restore and plump your lips. However, these products typically won’t give lasting results. Nowadays it’s easy to achieve plump lips with a variety of cosmetic procedures such as dermal fillers and implants.
