Why are my lips thin, or getting thinner?
Lip size is largely genetic, and many people are born with a thin upper lip. With age, lips lose volume and the lip border softens. They look flatter and less defined.
The skin above the upper lip also lengthens over the years. Sun and smoking cause fine lines around the mouth, which is a separate concern from lip volume.
Thin lips treatment options
The choice depends on your goal: volume, shape, or how much upper lip shows when you smile.

Lip filler for thin lips
Softer gels suit thin lips. Your injector selects the gel for the result you want and places it in small amounts.
Very thin lips often respond well to two small sessions a few weeks apart, so the tissue can adapt gradually. See lip filler for aftercare, lip filler swelling day by day, and what sets the cost of lip filler.
Keeping thin lips natural
The goal is balance with the rest of your face. Bring a photo of lips you like, and a photo of your own lips from a few years ago if they have thinned.
Your injector will tell you clearly if a result needs more than one visit. Most lip fillers are made of hyaluronic acid, which can be dissolved if you do not like the result.
Cold sores and lip filler
If you get cold sores, tell your injector before lip filler. Injections can trigger an outbreak, and your doctor may recommend antiviral medicine to prevent one.

How do you treat thin lips?
Lip filler is the main treatment for thin lips. A hyaluronic acid gel adds volume and shape and usually lasts several months to a year. We also offer the lip flip: a few small injections relax the upper lip muscle so more of it shows. At Magic FemTouch MedSpa in Oak Lawn, your injector plans the steps with you.

Questions
Thin lips questions
Can very thin lips get filler?
Yes. Very thin lips usually respond well to a soft gel placed in small amounts, often over two visits a few weeks apart. Your injector plans the steps at your consultation.
Why are my lips getting thinner with age?
Lips lose volume and collagen with age, and the lip border softens, so they look flatter. Sun and smoking accelerate this. Filler can restore some of the lost volume and shape.
Can I combine a lip flip with lip filler?
Often, yes. Filler adds volume, and a lip flip lets more of the upper lip show when you smile. Your injector may perform them at the same visit or a couple of weeks apart.
How much filler do thin lips need?
Many people start with a small amount. Very thin lips may need a second small visit a few weeks later, rather than more at once. Your injector recommends an amount at your consultation.
How much does lip filler for thin lips cost?
The cost depends on the product and the amount your plan needs. Your provider gives you the price at your consultation.
