Enhance Your Pout with Lip Augmentation Detroit

Many women desire fuller lips. A full, luscious pout has long been a desired symbol of beauty in our society and while some women are naturally blessed with full lips, most of us need a little bit of help in achieving it. Fuller lips also help to minimize wrinkles that commonly form around the lips.

Today there are many over the counter, lip plumping glosses that offer minimal, fleeting results. For women who desire a more permanent fix, a Lip Augmentation is often the better option. There are a couple different Lip Augmentation options such as Injectable Fillers, like Restylane. Fat can also be harvested from another part of the body and then purified and processed and used as an injectable to fill the lips. There are pros and cons to any treatment and you’ll want to discuss them with your Plastic Surgeon before making any final decisions.

We invite you to contact our office to schedule your consultation with Dr. Hardaway to learn more about if Lip Augmentation may be right for you.

Detroit Brow Lift

Although Dr. Michelle Hardaway specializing in Tummy Tuck and Liposuction procedures, she offers a number of other cosmetic procedures, one of which is the Brow Lift, or Forehead Lift surgery. Our faces are almost constantly in motion from the time we are baby making faces back at Mommy to the time we are Moms and Dads ourselves making faces back at baby. Our faces are constantly communicating our thoughts, feelings, and emotions- even when we don’t realize it. As we start to age, our faces are naturally one of the first areas to begin to be effected by the signs of aging. Lines, creases and wrinkles start to set in and suddenly it may seem your face has begun to communicate something different than what you are actually feeling… perhaps people begin to comment that you seem tired, negative, or even angry. The lines on your face are telling a different story than your inner story.

Through a Brow Lift procedure those fine lines and wrinkles in the forehead and brow area can be smoothed out creating a more youthful, relaxed and alert appearance. Often times patients opt to combine a brow lift procedure with other facial rejuvenation procedures like blepharoplasty (or eyelid lift), dermal fillers, or even a full face lift or neck lift.

Discussing your goals with Dr. Hardaway is the best way to determine what treatment plans are possible. Contact our office today to set up your consultation appointment with Dr. Hardaway.

Detroit Lip Augmentation

A full luscious pout is a staple of beauty in today’s society. While some are blessed with plump lips, the majority of us will need some assistance to achieve plump lips. There are many over the counter treatments, generally in the form of a lip gloss, that can temporarily make lips appear plump or ’stung’. But for those looking for a more permanent solution, Detroit lip augmentation may be more appropriate.

Lip augmentation can be achieved a number of ways. Injectable fillers such as Restylane can be used to turn thin lips into plump luscious lips. Fat harvested from another part of the body may also be used to create large, fuller lips. While the treatment takes just minutes to administer the effects can last up to 4 months. Both men and women can benefit from lip augmentation if they are unhappy with the appearance of their current lips.

A consultation is needed prior to lip augmentation. We invite you to contact our office to schedule your consultation to learn more about lip augmentation.
