"Well, the last time I had a picture taken I could hardly see my eyes because of the weight of heavy eyelid. Then I paid attention to how I was actually using my eyes and I really noticed when I was looking at anything especially the computer I was straining my forehead to see better. Since I have had it done I no longer have to lift the forehead and tilt my head to see. It is amazing! I love..." D. Rock 63 Yrs Old with Fat Droopy Eyes - Salt Lake City, UT
How aging of the lips can affect the whole face

The youthful fullness of lips and the upward corners are universally admired and desired. Slow loss of fullness, the downward slope to the angles of the mouth, vertical lip lines (often called “smokers’ lines even when present in non-smokers), the loss of what I have called the “earthworm” that sits on every youthful lip, resulting in loss of the definition of the lip, the loss of definition of the cupid’s bow, the loss of the vertical philtral columns and associated inter-philtral hollow, and the loss of the proportions of the upper and lower lips all conspire to make the lips look not-so-youthful!
An often overlooked effect of aging is the longer distance between the nose and the upper lip margin:
sometimes called the “long lip”.
sometimes called the “long lip”.

Importance of paying attention to the important areas of the lips which do best with augmentation
Proportions and dimensions are vital. With an artistic approach to lips, the proportion of the upper lip to the lower is designed. Curves, arches and prominences are created! It is not just a matter of filling!!
