Solutions for Thin or Asymmetrical Lips

Undeniably, the mouth is a focal point of any face.

When a person speaks or smiles, their lips are most likely the first thing to be noticed.

However, for someone with thin or asymmetrical lips, it can cause them to become self-conscious, and even go so far as to affect their overall appearance.

At The Rejuva Center at Williams, we understand the importance of beautifully shaped lips, which is why we offer several non-surgical treatments for lips.

Each treatment offered has been designed to help achieve the perfect cupid’s bow or fuller pout — all without surgery.

Lip Enhancement and Shaping

The lips are naturally symmetrical, with the width of the lips equaling 30-50% of the facial width.

Even with this specific measurement, the appearance of your lips can be affected by several factors, including age.

As the years pass, the mouth starts to turn down, lines develop, and volume loss occurs. And because the lips are such a vital part of your overall appearance, changes in contour and plumpness can make you look older than you wish.

Lip augmentation is a popular procedure because of its ability to turn thin, wrinkled, or asymmetrical lips into the perfect pout that you’ve always wanted.

Ideal candidates for lip augmentation are those who wish to:

  • Add or restore volume to thin lips
  • Improve balance and symmetry between the upper and lower lips
  • Enhance the shape or contour of the lips
  • Smooth out vertical lip lines (lipstick or smoker’s lines)

If the appearance of your lips is bothersome, our highly trained and experienced staff can address these concerns and restore your confidence in your smile.

In just one treatment, patients can leave our office with fuller, shapelier, and defined lips — with zero need for downtime or recovery.

There are a variety of injectable fillers available for lip enhancement, each designed to achieve a specific result.

During the private consultation, we will discuss your goals for lip enhancement.

You may decide to plump up lost volume in one or both of your lips, or simply add a bit of definition to the contours or outline of your upper lip.

No matter what you decide, we will work with you to ensure you receive the gorgeous results you expect.

What to Expect from Your Lip Filler Procedure and Results

Prior to the lip augmentation treatment, your lips will be cleaned and a topical anesthetic may be administered to maximize comfort during the procedure.

A small needle is then used to strategically inject the filler into the areas targeted for treatment. Once the injections are complete, patients may return to their daily activities right away.

Patients will see an immediate difference in their lips following the filler session.

Swelling and redness may also be seen during this time. These are common side effects of fillers and will resolve on their own within a day or so.

Any discomfort can be eased by applying ice or using over-the-counter pain relievers.

Results of a lip augmentation typically last up to a year, depending on the filler used and how quickly it is absorbed by the body.

Patients will need to schedule regular injection sessions in order to maintain a more youthful, beautiful set of lips.

Lip Eversion or “Lip Flip”

Another symptom of age, besides a loss in volume in the lips, is that the upper lip begins to roll downward, creating an even thinner appearance.

The non-surgical lip eversion technique or “lip flip” uses Botox® to create the illusion of fuller, more youthful lips.

The treatment involves strategically injecting Botox® into the orbicularis oris muscle around the mouth that controls the movement of the mouth and lips.

When Botox® is injected into the superficial muscle layer along the side of the lips, it relaxes the muscle enough to flip the lip outward without affecting function.

The result is that the upper lip is pulled upwards into a more youthful position, while elevating it off the lower lip, both of which work to give the appearance of fuller lips without the need for fillers or surgery.

The lip flip procedure is virtually painless and takes under 30 minutes to perform. This allows patients to immediately return to their daily activities.

Side effects include minor bruising, redness, swelling or pain at the injection sites, but these are mild and resolve quickly.

The results will last up to about four months, so regular maintenance is required.

Additionally, patients may choose to augment the lips even further using fillers. But that is something that can be decided during a consultation with a member of the staff.
