Causes and Risk Factors

Lip wrinkles can develop due to various factors. Smoking, with its repetitive puckering motion, can lead to the formation of these lines. Aging is another significant factor; as we grow older, our skin naturally loses elasticity and collagen, making it more susceptible to wrinkles and fine lines. Exposure to UV radiation from the sun can speed up the breakdown of collagen and elastin in the skin, further exacerbating these wrinkles. Genetics may also play a role and additionally, activities like drinking through straws or whistling can contribute to the development of perioral lines.

Symptoms, Clinical Presentation, and Diagnosis

Smoker’s lines are characterized by thin, vertical wrinkles around the mouth. These lines become more pronounced over time, giving the lips an aged appearance. Diagnosis typically involves a visual examination and an understanding of the patient’s medical history and lifestyle.
