Lip Volume Loss

Lip volume loss is a common aesthetic concern and is largely a natural part of the ageing process. Several factors contribute to these changes over time:

• Collagen and Elastin Decline: Just like the rest of our skin, our lips rely on collagen for structure and plumpness, and elastin for flexibility. As we age, our bodies produce less of these essential proteins, leading to a gradual thinning and less defined appearance of the lips.
• Fat Redistribution: The delicate fat pads beneath the skin of our lips can diminish and redistribute, contributing to a flatter or less full look.
• Bone Resorption: Subtle changes in the underlying bone structure of the jaw and teeth can also indirectly affect the support and projection of the lips.
• Muscle Activity: The repetitive movements of our mouth – smiling, talking, pursing – can also contribute to the development of fine lines around the lips, sometimes called "smoker's lines" (even for non-smokers), which can further diminish the appearance of lip volume.
• Environmental Factors: Sun exposure and lifestyle habits can also accelerate the signs of ageing around the mouth.

These combined effects can lead to lips appearing thinner, less defined, and sometimes developing vertical lines, which can make us feel less confident in our smile.

If you're noticing lip volume loss and are curious about how aesthetic medicine can help, the most important first step is a personalised consultation with a qualified medical professional. At Advanced Cosmetic Medicine in Adelaide, our philosophy is rooted in understanding your unique concerns and guiding you towards appropriate, natural-looking outcomes.

During your consultation, our experienced team will:

• Listen to Your Goals: We encourage you to openly discuss what aspects of your lips concern you and what results you hope to achieve.
• Conduct a Thorough Assessment: We will carefully assess your lip anatomy, skin quality, and overall facial structure to understand the factors contributing to your lip changes.
• Discuss Potential Approaches: We will outline the range of non-surgical options that may be suitable for addressing lip volume concerns. This discussion will be tailored to your individual needs and the findings of your assessment.
• Explain the Process: For any recommended approach, we will provide clear information on how the treatment works, what to expect during the procedure, potential considerations, and post-treatment care.
• Address Your Questions: We encourage a two-way conversation to ensure all your questions are answered and you feel fully informed and comfortable with any proposed plan.

Our aim is to provide you with a comprehensive understanding of your options, empowering you to make informed decisions about your aesthetic journey in a safe and professional environment.
