Thin Lips

The shape and fullness of our lips are mainly determined by genetics. However, aging and lifestyle factors such as sun exposure and smoking alter lip structure over time. The normal aging process involves loss of collagen, elastin, and diminished natural hyaluronic acid, which results in less volume and definition. In addition, some people have lower face muscle tension that pulls the corners of the lips downward, which changes the shape of the lips and surrounding facial features over time. Finally, smoking and other habits involving frequently pursing the lips create vertical lines that start at the lip and extend beyond, aka unwelcome “smokers’ lines.”

Whether you want a natural and subtle enhancement or a more dramatic full lips, Cataleya Aesthetics team can deliver. We offer a comprehensive approach to defining and plumping lips. Sometimes, treating the lips in isolation will not give the best result. Our specialists always assess the skin, muscles, and shadows surrounding your mouth to ensure the outcome is harmonious and beautiful.

  • Dermal Fillers are gel-like injectable substances that can improve the volume and definition of your lips. Your specialist will recommend a dermal filler that best matches your desired result. Sometimes, several sessions are needed to “build” the lips. We highly recommend trusting the process and going through your transformation gradually.
  • Botox Cosmetic is an injectable treatment that stops or diminishes the movements of specific muscles. When treating lips, Botox can be used to:
    1. Relax tight upper lip to improve vertical lines and allow the lip to evert more aka “Lip Flip.”
    2. Correct gummy smile
    3. Diminish activity of the muscles that pull the corners of your mouth downwards, which creates “marionette lines” and makes you look sad or upset
    4. Relax the overactive chin muscle that pulls your chin up, creating chin crease and “orange peel” appearance of skin

If your lips changed over time or you have naturally smaller lips that bother you, please do not hesitate to reach out and schedule a consultation at Cataleya Aesthetics in San Jose. We are here to listen and work together on developing a plan to give you the lips of your dreams. You can request an appointment online or call us at (408) 629-7097.
