Are Your Lips Ready for February, the Month of Love?

Close Up of Lips After Augmentation Procedure Atlanta GA

February is the time for flowers, chocolates and puckered lips, as Valentine’s Day highlights the month. Are your lips ready for romance? Several studies have been conducted to determine what lip shape is most desirable, and results show that symmetry is all-important.

Equal fullness in upper and lower lips seems to be the most appealing look. Second on the list is a plump lower lip, slightly fuller than the upper lip. Another much-sought-after feature is the well-defined Cupid’s bow. This little indentation on the upper lip is an attractive element of appealing lips. With dermal fillers, you can achieve the perfect look for your lips in a matter of minutes.

Where Has All the Fullness Gone?

It may surprise you to know that lips may begin to lose their fullness around age 28. At this time of life, the body’s collagen and hyaluronic acid production slows, meaning skin may start to sag a bit, and lips begin to thin out. However, age is not the only factor affecting the fullness of your lips.

Many people may not notice thinner lips until they are well into their thirties, while others will notice those waning lines at the end of their twenties. Genetics are a factor. Smaller lips may show signs of thinning earlier than larger ones; however, lifestyle habits also contribute to lip size. Sunbathers and smokers may notice an early thinning of the lips.

Hit the Reset Button

Unfortunately, there is not an actual reset button we can push to turn back time; but you do have choices when it comes to restoring volume to your lips. Dermal fillers like Juvéderm® and Restylane® give your lips that youthful fullness again. These injectables contain the natural chemical hyaluronic acid, which increases volume and lasts for up to six months.

Lip volume can also be increased by injecting a portion of your own body fat into your lips. This method yields plumped lips that look natural, feel soft and have safe, long-lasting results.

You can get more information about adding volume to your lips by scheduling a consultation appointment with Dr. Mark Mitchell Jones. Contact us today and get your lips in shape for February, the month of love.

Dr. Jones is the BEST!!! The staff is also great too. They are always friendly and welcoming. I am so happy that I chose him. I had liposuction and a tummy tuck done. I am amazed at my new body. I chose him because of his experience and he is the best plastic surgeon in Atlanta, Ga. My surgery experience was great I love the no drain technique that he does. I feel confident and beautiful. And my new look is wonderful and I couldn't be happier. And it feels great to get compliments from my family and friends because they love my new look as well!!!

Why did I look sad when I was not? When I saw my “normal” facial expression in the mirror, it just looked worn out. I did not like it for I did not feel like that on the inside! Dr. Jones changed it! After Dr. Mark Mitchell Jones did my eye lid surgery, I feel great about seeing myself in the mirror again. None of that loopy, tired look anymore! My only regret: I should have done this earlier. Creams do nothing to remove the wrinkles and the sagging eyelids that accompany getting into my late 40s. I feel refreshed in the face, and it affects my inside every time I look in the mirror or see a photo of myself. Dr. Mark Mitchell Jones did a fabulous job. He did not go overboard, he did it just right. He had the expert touch from the beginning to the end. Trusting my doctor is most important to me, and if I do this surgery again in ten years, I will just let him decide what can be done to achieve a more refreshed, happier look. It pays to let experience bear. It is my face. No scars. No sagging eyelids. Even the wrinkles around my eyes went away. Thank you, Dr. Jones and your wonderful staff.

The BEST decision I have ever made! Dr. Jones' bedside manner is remarkable, his staff is caring and made me feel individualized. I didn't want a factory line breast augmentation, so I researched surgeons and Jones stood out above the rest due to his expertise, study, knowledge, and specialized techniques. And that is what I wanted when I came to my body. My desired results were achieved with my health being priority. Surgery and recovery went without a hitch. Friends and family, some who have had the same procedure themselves, call his work exceptional!!

First I want to say what a great group of assistants Dr.Jones has working for him. They are professional, efficient and organized. All of them are nice and will work closely with your schedule. As for Dr. Mark Jones you can find a better doctor he is "Magical" when it comes to surgery. I'm in my third stage of microtia and every surgery he's calm and reassuring that everything will turn out. He does what he says he going to do, and accurate on what the turnout will be. If I had to go through this again I wouldn't go to anyone else. Thank you Dr. Mark Jones.
