One cosmetic procedure that has gained immense popularity at the Plastic Surgery Group of Memphis (PSG) & PSG Skincare & Laser Center is lip augmentations using hyaluronic acid fillers. Patients aren’t just trying to copy celebrities; many want to express themselves and enhance their natural features in a way that feels right for them. The expert injectors at PSG Skincare & Laser Center perform lip augmentations for patients because it’s a minimally invasive and adaptable procedure offering results that match individual preferences. Our team takes pride in helping patients perfect their pout with a lip augmentation by delivering natural-looking results, emphasizing the enhancement of every person’s unique beauty, and boosting confidence.
Let’s take a step into the world of lip fillers and explore the numerous benefits they can offer you, from correcting asymmetries to defining the perfect cupid’s bow.
Lip augmentation is not a recent phenomenon; in fact, we can trace its roots back to ancient civilizations, where people used various means to enhance lip appearance. However, in modern pop culture, we can use Kylie Jenner and her heavily documented transition from a thin-lipped teenager to a full-pouted beauty icon to pinpoint precisely when plump lips became a recently sought-after aesthetic enhancement.
Each PSG Skincare & Laser Center patient has a unique story and personalized reasons for opting for this treatment. Still, they all connect under the singular goal of refining facial beauty and self-expression.
Here are common reasons PSG patients choose lip augmentation with lip filler treatment:
Hyaluronic acid, a substance naturally found in the body, is crucial in maintaining skin hydration and elasticity. In lip fillers, hyaluronic acid creates a plumping effect for a safe and temporary solution for those seeking fuller, more defined lips.
Lip augmentation through hyaluronic acid can address several concerns, including these common concerns:
Each patient that comes to Plastic Surgery Group of Memphis and PSG Skincare & Laser Center for lip augmentation will have different objectives and facial aesthetics that their provider will assess to form a plan.
At PSG, we use two JUVÉDERM® fillers—the JUVÉDERM® Volbella XC and the JUVÉDERM® Ultra XC—to help our patients achieve their lip filler goal. Both are reserved for patients 21 years and older, can last up to one year, and are virtually painless thanks to lidocaine gel reducing sensitivity during the procedure. Now, let’s check out their differences below!
This crystal-clear filler is an injectable gel used for lip augmentation and the correction of perioral wrinkles (lines around the mouth), often called lipstick lines, vertical lip lines, or lip wrinkles. JUVÉDERM® VOLBELLA® XC works by being injected directly into and around the lips using an ultra-fine needle to temporarily plump the lips and smooth the appearance of lines around the mouth.
This filler is an injectable gel that temporarily adds more fullness and plumps thin lips. Whether your lips have thinned over time or you simply want fuller lips, this lip filler is an excellent option. It’s also a crystal-clear gel that temporarily adds the desired range of fullness for lip enhancement by being injected directly into and around the lips using a small needle.
At PSG Skincare & Laser Center, our expert injectors understand the importance of balance and proportion in lip filler treatment. The emphasis is always on enhancing the patient’s natural beauty rather than creating an artificial or exaggerated appearance. Our qualified professionals strive to achieve results that seamlessly integrate with the patient’s overall facial aesthetics through meticulous planning, studying a patient’s unique facial anatomy, and a personalized approach.
Lip augmentation is not just a cosmetic procedure; it’s a confidence-boosting journey. Many individuals who choose this enhancement are seeking to align their outer appearance with their inner confidence. At PSG Skincare & Laser Center, we celebrate the transformative power of lip fillers, recognizing that a subtle change can profoundly impact self-esteem and overall well-being. The journey towards fuller, well-defined lips becomes not just a physical transformation but a celebration of individuality and self-assurance.
When considering lip augmentation, a patient’s first consultation is important. During the consultation with a PSG Skincare & Laser Center provider, a patient interested in a lip filler treatment will discuss their overall health, lifestyle, aesthetic goals, and any other concerns to set a strong foundation for an informed decision and treatment plan.
We recommend that patients come prepared for their consultation with questions to leave their PSG Skincare & Laser Center consultation confident and ready for the next steps. Use this checklist as a guide for your lip augmentation consultation!
