What causes thin lips?
Thin lips are a common sign of ageing. Flat, thin lips appear over time due to lost volume in the surrounding area. Weak and thin lips add to the appearance of wrinkles and creases near the mouth, including smoker’s lines. Thin lips often make you look older than you are.
Depleted jaw bone density is a frequent concern associated with ageing, and this is common when you have underlying dental problems. This bone loss leads to a lack of support for facial features, including lips.
You may assume the only way to combat thin lips is to get a surgical facelift; however, there are less invasive ways. Non-surgical procedures using dermal fillers restore lost volume and give you a renewed, youthful appearance.

Creating Fuller Lips
To plump your thin lips, we’ll start with an assessment of your facial structures. We need to identify the areas that lack the fats and proteins that give your lips a natural lift. This information will feed your tailored treatment plan.
Dermal fillers use hyaluronic acid to plump and rehydrate your skin. The result of us injecting fillers into affected areas is a natural-looking increase in volume. Although subtle, you’ll notice the difference in your lips immediately.
Your treatment will consist of several injections and will take around 30 minutes. Lip filler treatment is pain and discomfort-free, with no downtime following the procedure. Any swelling or redness around your lips should pass within days.

Wonderful wonderful wonderful! I am so impressed with the incredibly kind, professional staff at this amazing practice.We booked in for a check up and was absolutely delighted when we went in to find a child-centric, relaxed atmosphere where my son felt comfortable. The theming of the waiting room is fantastic, and makes a trip to the dentist an exciting experience for a child, rather than a dreaded one, he even looked forward to returning for his filling! Cannot recommend this place enough, definitely a win for Love Teeth.
So friendly and welcoming from the moment you walk in the door. The staff remember you and make you feel at ease. Rohan and Debbie just did a filling for me and the whole thing was a breeze, very kind considerate treatment and lovely people. Thank you!
I straightened my teeth through Invisalign with Love Teeth and also had 2 dental implants with them. Both experiences were as good as it gets. The staff are amazing and the dental specialists very reassuring. Fantastic service overall and good value for money if you want to be sure you get the proper dental treatments.
Dr KP is highly competent. I am so pleased with my teeth and the service at Love Teeth. The clinic is very welcoming and not clinical like most dentists. Kerry is also a great receptionist and very helpful. Firstly from the consultation with Dr KP I came away so impressed as he understands and doesn’t talk you into anything and explained in depth all the process and answered any questions I had on all the treatments he provides. You don’t feel rushed at all. I really like his expertise and feel completely at ease and confident in his care and I have had the same dentist for over 25 years so never thought I’d say that. He literally did a few adjustments to my teeth and they look amazing! I would highly recommend and I am looking forward to having some more treatments done. Thank you.
My appointment was regarding the invisalign package. Scheduling appointment was easy, completed forms online to save time on arrival. Dr Megna Shah & her team were welcoming and very informative. If you are an anxious patient like myself, rest assured you will be very well looked after.
Fantastic NHS check up & filling with Dr Maryam Butt. Maryam provided very thorough & professional dental treatment. She was calm & compassionate making me feel welcome and at ease. Maryam took good care of me, providing an honest service and great follow on advice. Thank you, Maryam.
Highly recommend, the staff are friendly & welcoming, my children are no longer nervous going to the dentist! My 7 year old recently broke his tooth, we didn’t have an appointment but they managed to fit him in, constantly reassuring him & explaining everything that they were doing & he was back at school within an hour! Absolutely fantastic service 🌟
Top service received from this practice! Doctor Depen is great, he made such a huge transformation and now I’m in love with my new smile. I highly recommend Love Teeth!
Frequently asked questions
What Causes Thin Lips?
As we age, our lips thin. Several factors could contribute to this, including:
- Collagen levels – Ageing contributes to decreased collagen production
- Genetics – Some people naturally have thin or plump lips
- Smoking – Tobacco decreases oxygen getting to your lip tissues
- Sun exposure – UV rays break down collagen in your skin
- Bone loss – Depleted density in underlying bones affects your facial support
Do Dermal Fillers Hurt?
No. Before your filler injection, we’ll numb the treatment site. You’ll experience slight swelling and redness after treatment, but this soon passes.
How Long Do the Effects Of Dermal Fillers Last?
You’ll instantly see the changes from your dermal filler treatment. Over time, your body will naturally break the filler down. Without topping up the filler with further injections, your lips may thin.
A brief appointment to tweak your filler treatment every 6 – 12 months will maintain excellent results.
