Thin or Thinning Lips: Treatment in London

Lips can be naturally thin, or thin with age as collagen and support reduce and the border of the lip becomes less defined. The aim of treatment is lips that suit your face, not a set look.

Lips in proportion

We look at the lips alongside the teeth, chin, nose and smile. Dr Goziem’s dental background is particularly useful here. Small changes in shape and support usually look better than large increases in volume.

Common questions

How much lip filler do I need?

Many people need less than they expect. We often start conservatively and review at two to four weeks.

Can thin lips look natural with filler?

Yes, when the amount and placement suit your face. Definition and support often matter more than volume.

What if I have old filler?

If old filler has migrated or looks lumpy, dissolving it first often gives a better result.
