Thin Lips: Causes and Options
Written for someone looking at their own mouth rather than studying anatomy. These guides separate a lip that was always thin from a lip that has thinned, set out how proportion is measured against the face it belongs to, and say plainly that no option creates lip tissue that was never there.
