How To Improve Lip Shape Without Fillers And Injections At Any Age

Why do lips become thin?

The age-related "disappearance" of the lips is due to the tension of the circular muscle of the mouth. It mainly occurs in strong-willed people. Try to grit your teeth and listen to your body: you will feel tension in your back, neck, and even in your arms and legs. The fact is that when the teeth are clenched, all the muscle-fascial chains of the body begin to strain. Once you relax your jaw, it will go away. With constant, chronic stress, the face changes, deformation of the circular muscle of the mouth occurs. As a result of the spasm, the lips become thin, turning into a "thread".

Will fillers help?

Many women believe that with age, only fillers can help restore the charm of the lips, but I will disappoint you: their introduction does not always give the desired result. Unfortunately, no one is safe from incorrect distribution of the injected filler. If this happens, in addition to the problem of “disappeared” lips, you will encounter their deformation, which will be noticeable to the naked eye. It is also not uncommon for women to experience a serious allergic reaction after the lip augmentation procedure. Another disadvantage of fillers is swelling and bruising that persist for the first five days after the procedure. In addition, fillers give only a temporary result, since some components dissolve over time, and due to the fact that the cause has not been eliminated, the spasm will remain. In the future, it can lead to the early appearance of wrinkles and the formation of nasolabial folds.

Is there an alternative to "beauty injections"?

Plastic surgery and the use of expensive cosmetics are not the only ways you can try to restore beauty to your lips. Since the problem of thin lips is associated with muscle tension, a competent osteopathic doctor can help to relax them. Many patients who are concerned about the condition of their face usually do not come to an osteopath for these purposes. Often they are worried about pain in the neck, lower back, back, legs, prolonged headache, and they receive a toned and refreshed face as a pleasant bonus. Even the thinnest lips can be made a little more plump and voluminous if the muscles of the face are treated correctly, and the treatment can significantly improve the shape of the lips. Therefore, injections are far from the only and clearly not the best way to preserve the beauty of the face.

A simple exercise that works

I can advise you on a good exercise to help relax your lips and improve their shape. At first glance, it may seem that this is not an exercise, but self-indulgence. But if you follow this recommendation every day, the result will surprise not only you, but also those around you. So, in order to independently relax the circular muscle of the mouth, place the index and middle fingers under the lower lip, try to feel how the tissues underneath are warming up and relaxing, and the lip seems to "fill". After that, start drawing a smile for yourself: you need to gently guide your fingers to the corners of your mouth, slightly pulling them up. We do the same with the upper lip, the movement should be strictly horizontal. The exercise must be performed several times with the upper and lower lip alternately. We finish with an exercise with the lower lip. Doing this exercise daily will help you noticeably improve the appearance of your lips.
