Lip lines are some of the most frustrating wrinkles I treat. Not because they show up first, but because they change the expression of the face so quickly.
The area around the mouth is complex. We can’t simply freeze it the way we do the glabella. These muscles are essential for speaking, eating, smiling, and expressing emotion. At the same time, we’re losing jawline support, bone structure shifts, and the skin between the nose and upper lip gradually lengthens. All of that contributes to lip lines and changes in lip shape.
This is why a one-size-fits-all solution like simply “adding filler” often misses the mark in more mature patients. If the philtrum has lengthened, more volume can sometimes look disproportionate instead of refreshed.
Treating lip lines requires strategy. Collagen support. Skin resurfacing. Subtle structural adjustments. And restraint.
