I don’t like my mouth

A common reason for consultation, certain constitutional imperfections of the lips and mouth affect the beauty of the smile.

In addition, ageing in this area starts to show from the age of 30 onwards, altering the harmony of the face.

Aesthetic medicine offers effective solutions for restoring harmony and youthfulness to your smile.

What is a beautiful mouth?

A beautiful mouth is in harmony with the rest of the face and faithfully reflects our emotions. Lips that are too thin or pinched give the face a stern, sombre look. With age, the lips become dehydrated and thinner, their colour fades and their natural curves flatten.

Vertical wrinkles above the upper lip and the deepening of the marionette lines with age darken and age the smile and the lower third of the face.

Why can the size and shape of the lips be a concern?

The lips play an essential part in facial beauty and expressiveness. Certain lip asymmetries (congenital or following trauma, for example) affect harmony and can be a source of major self-consciousness.

As the skin ages, the mouth gradually loses its harmony, affecting not only the lower third of the face but facial expressiveness as a whole.

What does lip reshaping with hyaluronic acid involve with Dr Hayot?

Hyaluronic acid injections in the lips are a genuine treatment. Depending on your initial needs, the volume of the lips can be increased, the contours reshaped and the skin plumped.

In addition, where indicated, perioral wrinkles can be treated with hyaluronic acid injections.

Botulinum toxin can also be used to treat perioral wrinkles. Botox® is indicated for the correction of expression lines.
