If you have noticed that your lips are thinning, or if you are simply not satisfied with how your lips fit in with the rest of your face, then it may be time to consider lip augmentation.

Renowned plastic surgeon Dr. Joyesh Raj is an expert at helping each and every patient put their best face forward. Dr. Raj understands that even minor alterations can have a significant impact on a person’s happiness and self-esteem. Here, Dr. Raj discusses how lip augmentation can help combat thinning lips.

What Causes Thinning Lips?

Every mouth is different. Some people are born with naturally plump lips while others have thinner smiles. However, if you have noticed that your lips are beginning to look thinner than they used to, this can be due to a number of factors. One of the most significant causes of thinning lips is age. The older you are, the more likely you are to notice age-related changes to your lips and around your mouth. Sun exposure and smoking can also contribute to thinning lips.

How Does Lip Augmentation Work?

During a lip augmentation procedure, Dr. Raj injects dermal fillers into targeted areas of the lips to add volume and fullness. Dr. Raj utilizes hyaluronic acid-based fillers, which provide structural support for the lips and have a plumping effect. The procedure is quick and can be performed with numbing medication to reduce any discomfort.

Hyaluronic acid-based lip fillers are the premier choice for lip fillers not only because of their results but also because of how patients react to the fillers. Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring substance found in the body. This means that allergic reactions are highly unusual.

Are the Results Permanent?

The results of lip augmentation are long-lasting, not permanent. Keep in mind that results vary from patient to patient and the effects of lip augmentation can last anywhere from six months to a year. Your doctor can advise you regarding how long your results may last.

Is Lip Augmentation Right for You?

The only way to know if lip augmentation is right for you is to schedule a lip augmentation consultation with Dr. Raj. During your consultation, Dr. Raj will answer your questions and ask you about your lip augmentation goals. Dr. Raj will also examine your natural lips to determine whether lip augmentation can provide you with the results that you desire.
