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.

Really want to say a massive thank you to Tracey at reception who went above and beyond to be able to get me an appointment before I moved! Kept me in the loop and moved schedules around so I could be seen. I’m so grateful for her help – she’s a shining example of amazing customer service. Also big shout out to Dr Sheena and her assistant in training (didn’t catch her name unfortunately) who performed my first root canal yesterday. Both were so gentle and kind and ensured I was ok throughout the procedure. Thank you so much.
I was made to feel welcome here from start to finish. Friendly and professional people from front to back. Excellent hygienist appointment, very pleased with results. I will definitely return, and would highly recommend 😊
Had a filling done today by the lovely Rohan and Debi. Was a quick and easy process. They talked me through everything letting me know what was going on, and kept making sure I was okay throughout. Couldn’t ask for a better service, both of them were amazing. Thank you x
I am so pleased with my new implant! The centre is spotless and modern. All of the staff by are welcoming and friendly. I was very nervous but the lovely dental nurse reassured me I was in good hands and was there for every appointment. Dr Emmanuel Clozza made me feel at ease with his expertise straight away. He has done an amazing job!
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.
The girls are kind and lovely and Emanuele so experienced with implants that the entire procedure is quick and relatively painless. Highly recommend.
My father came in for a root canal treatmeant with Caroline after having a fear of the dentist perviously. My father now has no more pain and would definitely return to love teeth as the environment made him incredibly comfortable! Would highly recommend.
I’ve just finished my Invisalign treatment and am thrilled with the results. All the staff are friendly and polite, always ready to help with any questions. The surgery looks and smells amazing, I can not recommend Love Teeth enough! Dr KP is an absolute perfectionist and the work I have had done alongside my Invisalign (veneers, gum lasering and contouring) looks absolutely amazing. Thank you to to all 😁
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.
