Question 1

do lips grow as you age?

Accepted Answer

Yes and no: During active growth, birth to the end of skeletal and soft tissue maturation, the lips do grow, in relation to the jaw to which they are attached. As one passes through their third or fourth decade, tissue fluid and particularly tissue elasticity are lost and the lips actually thin or "recede". Look at aged people and you will notice wrinkling & a more sunken appearance to the middle of the face.

Question 2

Hard to say!: Lips can appear white if they are dry sometimes.  Also, if you have anemia they can look pale.  Please see your doc and find out why the color has changed.  Or consider a Healthtap Prime Consult, where you can have a virtual visit with a doc who can help you sort out what may be happening.

Question 10

what happens to lips after injections wear off?
