Lip Fillers are for Men Too

The shifting ideals of attractiveness, androgyny in fashion, and greater acceptance of gender identities are diminishing the perceived embarrassment regarding men’s use of cosmetics. The stigma surrounding male grooming is falling, with large brands like ASOS and Maybelline embracing a gender-inclusive approach and endorsing male ambassadors. Additionally, an increasing number of men are undergoing simple cosmetic procedures to enhance their features, with male lip fillers being one of them.

Thin lips can affect both men and women, and men may be more apprehensive about using the quick cosmetic measures available. Thin lips are primarily a genetic trait but can become thinner with age as the body loses its natural lip-plumping proteins, such as collagen and elastin, over the years.

How to Get Fuller Lips for Men

If you’re wondering how to get bigger lips, here are a few simple, at-home tips that can help—no one will know:

Exfoliate Your Lips

Physically exfoliating your lips with a dry toothbrush or a lip scrub twice a week can help remove any dead skin cell buildup. Exfoliating also stimulates the blood vessels beneath the skin, causing them to rush to the surface and give you fuller lips.

Shave Your Face

Keeping your face smooth helps draw attention to the lip area. If you want to accentuate your lips, removing distractions like facial hair can make them look more prominent.

Keep Hydrated

Drinking plenty of water keeps your skin hydrated and prevents your lips from becoming sore, cracked, and flaky. Dehydrated skin loses its natural fullness, making your lips look shrunken. Drinking six to eight glasses of water a day can help your lips retain moisture and keep them looking full.

Lip Liner

Many male-oriented makeup products are available online, or you can purchase those marketed for women—they are the same products. Lip liner can be an easy way to create the illusion of fuller lips; subtlety is key when enhancing the lips. Buy a lip pencil that matches your natural colour and lightly draw outside your natural lip shape. Use your finger to pat the colour to ensure a solid application and subtle enhancement.

Firming Lip Balm

A lip plumper is a lip balm that can temporarily enlarge the lips. It works by causing blood to rush to the surface of the skin and usually contains mild irritant ingredients that cause transient swelling. Avoid balms with a shiny lip gloss finish and seek ingredients like menthol and capsicum for an inconspicuous look.

All these tips can help improve your lip area, but they won’t significantly change the shape or size of your lips. If thin lips are causing you distress, a professional approach is the most effective option.

 

Lip Fillers for Men

In some cultures, thin lips on men can symbolise manliness, and a fuller lip treatment may help make you more approachable and desirable to potential partners. Many celebrities endorse professional treatments to combat signs of ageing and appearance dissatisfaction. Social media has also championed lip enhancement, with larger lips admired on stars like Kylie Jenner, K-pop idols, and actors such as Brad Pitt, Tom Hardy, and Idris Elba.

A strong, protruding lip is also a common trait among male models. The number of men seeking lip fillers to enhance their lips is growing, with a “less is more” approach preferred. Most men’s lip fillers before and after photos show natural and subtle balance, symmetry, and size improvements.

 

What are Lip Fillers?

Lip filler is an injectable dermal filler treatment that can subtly alter the lip shape, add volume, and create a definition for both the bottom and top lips. Each treatment is customised, with the amount of filler used varying depending on the desired outcome.

At Vein Solutions, we use a brand of lip filler called Juvéderm®, which is primarily formulated from hyaluronic acid. Hyaluronic acid is a popular skincare ingredient derived from a natural sugar substance found in the body that has natural toning and firming abilities.

Lip filler treatment has minimal side effects and produces immediate results without the downtime and expense of plastic surgery. A key benefit of lip fillers is that they are completely reversible. If you are unhappy with your results, your nurse or doctor can administer a solution to dissolve the filler, leaving no long-term effect or damage.

Research suggests that men are increasingly dissatisfied with their appearance, and lip fillers are a clear choice for them to improve the look of thin lips discreetly. Men should feel free to correct and improve their appearance, don’t you agree?
