LIP AUGMENTATION
Fuller lips are a sign of youth. Today, they are also a symbol of sexual vitality and health. With age, the lips can gradually become thinner, causing the corner of the mouth to turn downward. This can create an appearance of sadness to the face. Lip augmentation can be performed in the office in less than one hour. This procedure will not only create fuller and plumper lips, but can also reduce fine wrinkles around the mouth that are signs of aging. There are a number of non-surgical and surgical options available to enhance the volume and shape of the lips. Make an appointment to discuss if surgery or a non-surgical option would be a better fit for your lips.
THE AGING FACE
Upper Eyelids: The skin on the upper eyelids is thin and loses elasticity as we age. This leads to excess skin and a tired appearance.
Lower Eyelids: The skin on the lower eyelids also stretches with time. The tensile strength of the eyelid decreases which results in a mild to moderate eyelid droop. Orbital fat protrudes which leads to a “puffy bag” on the lower eyelids. The volume around the eye also decreases leading to “hollowness” around the lower eyelids.
Eyebrows: With time, the soft fatty tissue beneath the eyebrows lessens. The fat in the temples also dissipates leading to a mild brow droop.
Midface: Loses volume and descends. Making the face look aged and tired. This creates lines around the mouth. A full midface creates a more youthful appearance.
Lips: Get thinner and lose volume as we age.
Nasolabial: The nasolabial lines is the line from the corner of your nose to the outer corner of the mouth. As we age, it becomes prominent because the midface droops and we lose volume.
Jawline: The jawline becomes less defined as we age.
