What Are Thin / Dehydrated / Shapeless Lips?
Lips vary greatly in their size, shape, ratio and even texture depending on your genetics. The appearance of thin lips is as the name suggests; lips that are smaller in appearance perhaps relative to other features on the face. This concern may become more noticeable as a person gets older which may also cause the lips to become more dehydrated with a less defined shape as structures around the lips change. Whether the top, bottom or both of the lips are affected can vary from person to person, as can the way a person feels about the way this feature looks. Fuller, hydrated and defined lips are characteristics desired by many people, from a wide demographic. At Takroni Clinic, our clinicians can help to reach your goals by carefully restoring volume and shape in a way that appears completely natural and harmonises the overall facial profile.
What Causes Thin / Dehydrated / Shapeless Lips?
The genes a person inherits from their birth parents can be one cause for naturally thin and / or shapeless lips. In other cases, this feature can develop as a person gets older.
When full, youthful lips lose volume and develop a dry, wrinkled texture, it is usually because of the ageing process. The skin and tissues on and around the lips will experience the same effects as the rest of the skin on the face and body, whereby collagen, elastin and natural fatty deposits diminish. Less density in the surrounding tissues will subsequently provide less support for the lips, which can also contribute to lip lines both on and around the mouth. Collagen is also helpful in the production of hyaluronic acid which gives the skin its moisture. Therefore, a loss of collagen frequently leads to a lack of hydration.
How Can I Treat Thin, Dehydrated, Shapeless Lips?
The main way we approach this concern at Takroni Clinic is to recommend lip fillers. This treatment can be used as a solution for providing the lips with additional volume and hydration as well as definition. Hyaluronic acid dermal fillers are used to enhance the shape and size of the lips. Careful placement can help to volumise the lips, as well as to improve the skin’s texture and create defined outlines. At Takroni Clinic we have a wide range of high-quality dermal fillers to choose from depending on your anatomy and goals. Our clinicians are highly trained in both the use of a needle and cannula depending on your preferences and needs.
