in the lips
Do you know what causes and how to treat loss of lip volume?
Find out in this article.
From the age of 30, our cells begin to lose the ability to reproduce the elements responsible for skin support and elasticity, such as collagen, elastin and hyaluronic acid. In this sense, as the aging process progresses, the tendency is for the lips to start to become flaccid, as well as the surrounding skin, generating popularly known wrinkles, such as barcode, puppet lines and Chinese moustache.
In addition, there are new studies that suggest that, as we age, the thickness of the soft tissues that make up the lips decreases, which leads to a loss of volume in this area, enhancing the flaccid and wrinkled appearance due to the lack of elastin and collagen.
How to recover the volume of the lips?
The best way to recover the volume of the lips is through the application of injectables to recover the lost volume. Nowadays there are very advanced and safe lip filling techniques. The procedure is very simple and consists of applying biosynthesized hyaluronic acid – an element naturally present in the human body – in order to fill in the lips, restoring their natural volume.
Injectable hyaluronic acid is completely compatible with the human body and is resorbable. It can also be applied around the lips, such as the Chinese mustache, barcode and puppet lines in order to fill in the deepest wrinkles, visibly reducing the appearance of aging.
The other advantage of this treatment is that hyaluronic acid is also a biostimulator. This means that, when applied to the skin, it has the ability to stimulate cells to naturally produce collagen and elastin, thus promoting a general improvement in the quality of the skin in the treated area.

Testimonials from our patients
Dr. Fátima Baptista Fernandes started taking care of me and I am grateful. After aggressive chemotherapy, the skin on my face lacked elasticity and firmness. The wrinkles were very marked. Looking in the mirror became uncomfortable. I'm looking for myself, without the memory of cancer. And Dr. Fátima Baptista Fernandes has been exceptional to me. Walk slowly, don't rush.
I had surgery in February this year. These are fairy hands from Dr. Fátima Baptista Fernandes and the entire team. Thank you all!
Dr. João is one of the best surgeons I know. I speak from experience because a few years ago the Doctor and his wife did a reconstruction on my stomach which was not easy at all and it was impeccable, which is why I always recommend their names. A year ago I took my bedpan to the Clinic for a breast augmentation and it looked spectacular! They are special people. Friendly, accessible and very aware of the work they do. They are excellent professionals.
Dr. Fátima Baptista Fernandes is a doctor who, in addition to being super cheerful and cheerful, is extremely professional with supreme dedication to her patients and their cases. My husband has been a patient of Dr. Fátima for a few years now... She is his doctor of choice and he won't change it!
