LIVE LONGER Power naps help more than just the brain. They also benefit the cardiovascular system, as regular naps can lower blood pressure, which means you’re at a lower risk of a stroke or heart attack.

High sleep quality leads to better memory, fast response times, and mental clarity, so a power nap is perfect for fitting a little more into your schedule. But while a cat nap can sharpen
your focus, a longer nap might hinder you. Long naps go through the entire sleep cycle and result in grogginess, impairing brain function for a short time.

Lip fillers have become a popular cosmetic procedure for those seeking a subtle enhancement or a more pronounced, plump pout. At Music City Plastic Surgery, we prioritize a personalized approach, beginning with a thorough consultation to understand the unique goals of each patient. THE CONSULTATION Before embarking on the lip filler journey, we have a comprehensive consultation with Hope, our board-certified physician assistant, to understand the specific desires and expectations of the patient. Whether it’s their first time or they’re seeking a touch-up, understanding their goals is the foundation for a successful outcome. FIRST-TIME LIP FILLER For first-time recipients, we typically start with a single syringe of our preferred hyaluronic acid-based fillers, such as RHA fillers or Restylane Kysse. This initial treatment hydrates the lips and addresses any signs of aging or fine lines. The focus is on achieving a natural and harmonious look that aligns with the patient’s aesthetic preferences. ENHANCING YOUR NATURAL BEAUTY WITH LIP FILLERS Injecting Hope
ADDITIONAL SYRINGE FOR PLUMPING (IF NEEDED) To achieve a more pronounced plumping effect, we recommend adding another syringe approximately two weeks after the first treatment, but only if needed. This staged approach allows for a gradual enhancement, ensuring the patient’s comfort and satisfaction. HEALING PROCESS AND AFTERCARE The total healing process spans two weeks, during which patients may experience mild swelling and bruising. To minimize these temporary side effects, we advise avoiding blood thinners before the procedure and incorporating arnica, either orally or topically. Post-treatment, refraining from intense workouts for the first 24 hours and avoiding extreme temperatures will contribute to a smoother recovery. DURATION OF RESULTS In general, results last around six months for first-time filler patients and extend to one to two years for those who have had filler before. Embarking on a lip filler journey with Music City Plastic Surgery is a meticulous and personalized process. From the initial consultation to the follow-up, we prioritize the unique goals and comfort of each patient, aiming to enhance their natural beauty with subtle, yet impactful, results.
