DON"T FORGET YOUR LIPS AND MOUTH!

We see our crow's feet, and our fine lines and jowls, but we often overlook our aging lips and mouth. And as you age, one or a couple of different procedures may be necessary to restore a natural rejuvenated mouth that suits your goals and personality.

DON"T FORGET YOUR LIPS AND MOUTH !

We see our crow's feet, and our fine lines and jowls, but we often overlook our aging lips and mouth. Lips get wrinkled, and pale, and mouths get droopy. The lateral lips fold on top of each other making the width of your mouth contract. And the central upper lip thins and collapses on the lower lip such that the upper lip is hardly noticed anymore. The red show is reduced as the lips invert and the blood flow is reduced.  We try to enhance our lips with regular brighter lip color, but others subconsciously register age.  We used to have a perky up-curl to the corners of our lips, but as we age, the corners invert as we lose volume.  Additionally, the angles of our mouth are pulled down by the increasing droop of the jowls.  Combine the down-turned mouth with a few frown lines, and now we have a "miscue".  That is, others see us as stressed, worried, tired, or angry when we may be entirely neutral.  This image might play an important role in our relationships with family, friends, coworkers, or strangers.

Our mouth is very important signature of vitality.  Check your photographs of your mouth and lips when you were in your late teens or early twenties.  Even if you were born with smaller lips, you will note that they get smaller as you age.  The lips then were everted, and the bow in the center top and bottom was full.  The corners curled up ever so slightly, cultivating a perky amused look.  Our lips were naturally pink and of course there were no significant wrinkles on or around our lips.  Our lips are a symbol of our health, vitality, and youth.  Youthful lips are a sex symbol.  Regardless of whether you were born with full or smaller lips, they may be enhanced with modern techniques.  Just as long nails are a well-established beauty feature that is easily accessible, so too is the full youthful mouth.  And as you age, one or a couple different procedures may be necessary to restore a natural rejuvenated mouth that suits your goals and personality.
