Have you noticed your lips becoming thinner or less defined over time? Perhaps fine lines have appeared above your lip line, or you're experiencing persistent dryness? Or maybe you were born with thinner looking lips? These changes are common as we age, but they don't have to be permanent. At OLA Aesthetics, we offer a variety of treatments to restore or enhance smoothness, softness, volume and hydration in your lips.

A Note From Dr Aleks
Our lips are one of our most expressive and unique features. While social media might suggest there's a singular ideal lip shape, I've observed how individual it really is. I believe in enhancing what makes your lips uniquely yours rather than following trends that promote exaggerated volume and will look dated in photographs a few years from now.
For my patients in their 20s and early 30s, treatment goals often centre around enhancing naturally thin lips or addressing asymmetries. Patients in their 40s typically notice the first significant age-related changes, such as vertical lines beginning to form and slight softening of the vermilion border. My patients in their 50s and beyond usually experience more pronounced volume loss and deeper perioral lines. What remains constant across all age groups is my commitment to ensuring your results look authentic to you.
Common Concerns
- Thinning or naturally thin lips
- Wrinkles or lines above the lips (perioral lines)
- Loss of definition along the lip border
- Lack of Cupid’s bow definition
- Dry, chapped lips
- Volume loss in the upper or lower lip
- Asymmetrical lip shape
Contributing Factors
- Decreased collagen and elastin production
- Genetics and natural ageing process
- Sun exposure and environmental damage
- Repeated facial movements (smiling, speaking, etc.)
- Smoking or lip pursing
- Dry skin and dehydration
Understanding the Ageing Process of the Lips
When we perform lip rejuvenation treatments, we work with multiple layers of facial anatomy. Each layer contributes to how your lips look and function:
Surface Layer (Epidermis)
The outermost layer of your lips undergoes several changes with age:
- The skin thins, making fine lines more visible
- Moisture retention decreases
- Natural exfoliation slows
Middle Layer (Dermis and Muscles)
Below the surface, important structural changes occur:
- Collagen and elastin production decline
- Existing collagen and elastin fibres restructure
- Muscle tone around the mouth may change
Deep Layer (Fat and Bone)
The foundational structures that support your lips also transform:
- Fat pads diminish
- Subtle changes in bone structure can alter how the lips sit on the face
