Thin lips, whether natural or from aging, can be treated with hyaluronic acid lip fillers approved for lip augmentation and the lines around the mouth. Paz Dermatology offers Juvéderm lip fillers at its Fresno and Visalia, California offices, with results that can last up to a year.
Fuller lips, your way
Lips can thin with age, and fine vertical lines can form above them, the ones lipstick likes to bleed into. And some people simply want more shape or fullness than they were born with. Both are common, and both are easy to address.
Hyaluronic acid lip fillers add volume and shape, and some are also approved to soften the lines around the mouth.[1]
What you can change
- Lip fullness, subtle or noticeable
- Lip shape and definition
- Fine lines above the upper lip
- Lips that have thinned over time
- Up to 1 yearHow long results can last with Juvéderm Volbella XC or Juvéderm Ultra XC.[1]
Why lips change
- Natural shape Some lips are simply naturally thin. That’s genetics, and a little filler can add the fullness you’d like.
- Time With age, lips can lose some of their fullness and definition.
- Sun and smoking Sun and smoking both speed up skin aging, including the fine lines around the mouth.[2]
- Right awayYou see the change as soon as the treatment is done.
Choosing your lip filler
| If you’d like | A good fit | Can last up to |
|---|---|---|
| A soft refresh and smoother lines above the lip | Juvéderm Volbella XC | 1 year[1] |
| More noticeable fullness | Juvéderm Ultra XC | 1 year[1] |
Providers also use Botox for a “lip flip,” relaxing the muscle above the upper lip so it turns out a little. Ask at your consultation whether it suits you.
You don’t have to choose before you come in. Tell us the look you want, and your free consultation matches it to the right gel.

The Paz difference
Lips that still look like yours
Great lips come from proportion: how the upper and lower lip relate, and how they fit the rest of your face. We build a little at a time, and you can always add more at a follow-up.
When to talk to us
It’s a good time if:
- Your lips look thinner than they used to
- Lipstick bleeds into fine lines above your lip
- You’d like more shape or fullness
- You’re planning ahead for a wedding or event (give yourself at least a week)
Keeping lips looking their best
- Use a lip balm with sunscreen outdoors
- If you smoke, stop[2]
- Plan touch-ups before results fade completely
