Why are my lips thin, or getting thinner?
Lip size is mostly in your genes, and many people are born with a thin upper lip. With age, lips lose volume and the edge around them softens. They look flatter and less defined.
The skin above the upper lip also gets longer over the years. Sun and smoking add fine lines around the mouth, which is a separate issue from lip volume.
Thin lips treatment options
Pick by what bothers you: volume, shape, or how much upper lip shows when you smile.

Lip filler for thin lips
Softer gels suit thin lips. Your injector matches the gel to the look you want and adds it in small amounts.
Very thin lips often do well with two small visits a few weeks apart, so the lips can stretch slowly. 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 say plainly if a look 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 set off an outbreak, and your doctor may suggest medicine to prevent one.

How do you treat thin lips?
Lip filler is the main treatment for thin lips. A soft gel adds volume and shape, and it usually lasts several months to a year. A lip flip is another option: a few small injections relax the upper lip 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 do well with a soft gel added in small amounts, often over two visits a few weeks apart. Your injector plans the steps at your consult.
Why are my lips getting thinner with age?
Lips lose volume and collagen with age, and the edge around them softens, so they look flatter. Sun and smoking speed it up. Filler can add back 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 do 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 suggests an amount at your consult.
How much does lip filler for thin lips cost?
It depends on the gel and how much your plan needs. It is priced at your consult.
