The aging and wrinkling of the upper lip are influenced by at least four negative factors: accumulated sun exposure, genetics, smoking, and the natural maturing process. These factors combine to create wrinkling and flattening of the upper lip with a loss of the “Cupid’s bow”. Small vertical cracks and wrinkles extend from the lip itself to the skin above the lip, causing the lipstick to “bleed” into the upper lip.

Thanks to today’s many medical advances aging lips can be rejuvenated and less full lips can be enhanced.

There are many ways to rejuvenate your lips. Depending on your lip shape and desired result, you may need just one of the following treatments or several to get the look you want. Your plastic surgeon and his team can help you decide which treatment is right for you for a positive and natural-looking result. They will outline all your options and explain the full implications of each procedure in detail.
