Fine vertical lines around the lips, commonly known as ‘smoker lines’ or ‘barcode lines,’ often develop from repetitive lip movements such as pursing or pouting. Frequently associated with smoking, these lines may also result from natural ageing processes, facial expressions, or sun exposure.
At Contour Clinics, our cosmetic doctors offer personalised consultations specifically focused on smokers lines. During your consultation, your doctor will carefully assess your facial anatomy, skin condition, and lip movements to understand the underlying causes of these vertical lip lines. Your clinician will explain the factors influencing the appearance of smokers lines, discuss realistic expectations, and outline suitable cosmetic options tailored to your individual aesthetic goals.
