Atrophic Lips

Atrophic lips refer to lips that appear thin, lacking fullness and have decreased volume which can have significant implications on both oral health and facial esthetics. Atrophic lips can occur due to several factors such as genetic predispositions, prolonged use of dentures, medical conditions, age related or smoking. It affects overall esthetics of the face, smile and in some cases affect the stability and fit of dentures or prosthesis.

• Volume loss and wrinkles around the lips can be common signs of aging. As we age, the production of collagen and elastin in the skin decrease leading to loss of volume and elasticity of lips as well as thinning of lips and formation of wrinkles and fine lines.
• Repetitive facial movements such as pursing the lips or smiling can contribute to the development of atrophic lips over time as they cause collagen and elastin degradation.
• Smoking can contribute to volume loss in lips. Signs of aging and damage that occur as vertical wrinkles on the lips and around the mouth as a result of smoking are commonly described as smoker’s lips.
