Lip Rejuvenation

Paul Dipasquale, D.O. answers: Best wrinkle treatment for thin lips?

I have wrinkle lines above my lips and also have VERY thin lips. What treatment would be the best for these problems? Please help as I am going into a deep depression over this as I am only 48 yrs old.

Lip Rejuvenation often involves the correction of wrinkle lines around the lips (perioral rhytids) and thin (atrophic) lips. Treatment depends on the degree of rhytids and atrophy. I have no pictures of you lips, but since you are only 48 yrs old, I would recommend conservative treatment with injectable fillers. 

Lips respond well to hyluronic acid injectables, which last about 6 months and produces "kissable lips". It is best to pick a injector with experience who understands your goals for treatment as well as explains everything to you as you both look in the mirror. I recommend that you ask you injector for a "dental block" at least for your first time. I also recommend that the injector massage you lips after the injection to make sure they are no slight imperfections and are symmetrical.
