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.

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. 

The Evolution of Lip Fillers: 

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.  

 

Why Choose Lip Augmentation at PSG Skincare & Laser Center? 

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: 

• Enhanced Self-Confidence: Many patients report a boost in self-assuredness, feeling more comfortable and radiant post-procedure. 
• Accentuated Features: Patients can achieve an attractive balance between the lips and other facial characteristics. 
• Ease Natural Aging: When used correctly, lip filler can help eliminate smile lines and wrinkles around the mouth to regain a refreshed, youthful appearance. 

• Versatile Aesthetics: The skilled injectors at Plastic Surgery Group of Memphis and PSG Skincare & Laser Center use lip augmentation to cater to various aesthetic goals, from subtle refinement to dramatic enhancement. 
• Reduced Lip Lines: Patients can achieve a smoother appearance, minimizing lip lines and wrinkles. 
• Tailored Duration: Depending on the chosen filler, the results can range from temporary to long-lasting. Lip filler’s temporary nature allows patients to try the look without a long-term commitment or significant investment. 
• Customized Outcomes: Procedures with lip filler at PSG Skincare & Laser Center are adaptable, delivering results that match individual preferences. Patients can even change their look from time to time!

 

 

Benefits of Hyaluronic Acid Fillers: 

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: 

• Correcting Lip Asymmetries: Many individuals struggle with uneven lip contours. Hyaluronic acid fillers allow skilled injectors to produce a harmonious and balanced appearance. 
• Reducing Fine Lines: Lips, like other facial features, are prone to the natural aging process, leading to the formation of fine lines and wrinkles. Hyaluronic acid fillers add volume and smooth out these lines, rejuvenating the overall lip appearance. 
• Defining Lip Shape and Cupid’s Bow: The artistry of lip augmentation lies in its ability to enhance and define the lip shape, including the delicate cupid’s bow. Skilled injectors at PSG Skincare & Laser Center specialize in accentuating each patient’s unique contours. 
• Adding Natural Fullness: One of the most sought-after benefits of lip fillers is the ability to achieve natural fullness. The injectors at PSG prioritize a subtle and gradual approach, ensuring more natural lip filler results that complement the individual’s facial features without appearing exaggerated or unflattering. 

JUVÉDERM® Collection of Lip Filler at PSG Skincare & Laser Center: 

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!

 

JUVÉDERM® VOLBELLA® XC: 

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. 

JUVÉDERM® Ultra XC: 

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. 

PSG Skincare & Laser Center’s Commitment to Natural-Looking Results: 

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. 

Celebrating Confidence Through Lip Augmentation: 

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. 

The First Step: Lip Augmentation Consultation 

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.
