Have you noticed that your lips are starting to look thinner as you get older?
This is common and is one of the first signs of aging on the face, which can make it a sore spot for men and women alike.
If you wear lipstick, you can seek to overdraw the lips with a liner, which can create the illusion of larger lips, but this can be tricky to pull off without looking fake or clown-like!
Another option is to research fillers being injected into your lips, as this non-surgical option has more benefits than you may think. What are those benefits? Read on to find out!
Improve Symmetry
As people age, their bodies may begin to become a bit lopsided. This is part of life and is usually due to the breakdown of collagen and elastin in the skin.
One area that is affected the most notably is the lips. As they are soft tissue, they are more prone to droop or fall asymmetrically due to the reliance on the surrounding tissues. So, when you opt to have lip filler injections performed, the practitioner will be able to target them to the areas that are causing asymmetry, giving your face a more symmetrical and youthful look.
Reduce Sagging
It is an interesting phenomenon that as many people get older, their lips may start to droop and sag. If you opt for fillers in your lips, this can help to firm the skin and reduce sagging. The result is that your lips will look firmer, improving your overall appearance.
Reversible!
Are you unhappy with how your lips look after you have had them filled?
That’s not an issue! Fillers are simply hyaluronic acid, which is injected under the sub-surface of the skin to create plumpness and firmness. The good news is that hyaluronic acid can be broken down if you wish. You should talk to the practitioner who performed the process, to explain to them what you are unhappy about. Then, they will be able to inject the same area with a hyaluronidase serum, which will immediately break down the acid, thereby reversing the effects.
Long-Lasting
The length of time that your dermal fillers last will vary based on your age, the extent of the issue that was treated with them, and your lifestyle. Generally speaking, the average time that these fillers will last can extend for up to 18 months.
You will need to ensure that you maintain a healthy diet and exercise, while also making sure that you are hydrated to prolong the effects of the treatment.
Affordable
In years gone by, many procedures that were aimed at those who wanted to improve their appearance were prohibitively expensive.
However, as more people have trained in being able to offer fillers, the prices have dropped and, even if you need to have a lot of fillers applied to get your lips to the shape you want, they will likely be more affordable than you think.
Many clinics and spas even offer financing options, which can help you spread the cost of your new look over several months. Perfect!
