Best Lip Fillers in Collierville, TN for Natural Results
The concern most people bring to a lip filler consultation isn’t about volume. It’s about not wanting anyone to know they had it done. At Embrace Skin and Wellness in Collierville, TN, Dr. Krystle Holliday, DNP, FNP-C administers hyaluronic acid lip fillers under the medical supervision of Dr. Gina Bray, DO. The approach here is conservative by default. If you want to find out what that looks like for your lips specifically, call (901) 457-7891 or book a consultation.
What to Expect From Lip Fillers at Embrace
The before and after photos we show reflect what actually happened for those specific clients. We don’t select for the most dramatic results. The standard we hold to is the most appropriate result for that person’s anatomy, not the most obvious one.
Swelling is normal in the first 24 to 72 hours and often makes the lips look fuller or slightly uneven during that window. That’s expected. Final results settle within one to two weeks, and that’s the point at which the outcome can be accurately assessed. View our before and after gallery to see the consistency of what we deliver.
WHAT WE OFFER
Lip Filler Treatments We Offer at Our Collierville Med Spa
The same product and technique don’t work for every lip. Dr. Krystle Holliday, DNP, FNP-C selects the formulation and approach based on what your lip anatomy actually needs. Every plan runs under the medical supervision of Dr. Gina Bray, DO before anything starts.
Natural Lip Augmentation
Natural Lip Augmentation
The most common starting point for clients who want more volume without a visible change. Volume is added in proportion to the existing lip structure. The result looks like your lips, fuller, not like a different person’s lips placed on your face. Conservative placement is the default, not the exception.
Lip Definition and Border Enhancement
Lip Definition and Border Enhancement
Some clients don’t want volume. They want shape back. This technique works along the vermilion border and cupid’s bow, restoring definition that age or genetics has softened. The lips end up looking more structured without reading as filler. Clients who’ve been told they have “nice lips, just undefined” tend to respond best to this approach.
Lip Symmetry Correction
Lip Symmetry Correction
Left-to-right asymmetry, or imbalance between upper and lower lip, is more common than most people realise going into a consultation. Correcting it requires a precise anatomical assessment before the first injection. Minor overcorrection in either direction creates a new problem, so placement decisions here carry more weight than in straightforward volume work.
Lip Flip vs. Lip Filler
Lip Flip vs. Lip Filler
These are different treatments that solve different problems. A lip flip uses a small amount of neuromodulator above the upper lip to relax the muscle and let the lip roll slightly outward. Nothing is added. Lip filler adds actual physical volume using hyaluronic acid. Some clients need one, some need the other, and some benefit from both. Not sure which one applies to you? Call (901) 457-7891 and we’ll work through it before you book anything.
What Can Lip Fillers in Collierville Actually Fix?
Lip filler addresses structural concerns that makeup genuinely cannot. The issue is in the anatomy, not on the surface, and hyaluronic acid filler works by placing physical volume and definition directly inside the lip tissue.
Thin lips with little natural volume at rest or when smiling
Lip asymmetry where one side is consistently fuller than the other
Loss of definition along the vermilion border that softens gradually with age
Vertical lip lines that make the lip area look older than the rest of the face
A flat or undefined cupid’s bow that leaves the upper lip without shape
Volume loss in the body of the lip that makes the mouth look progressively smaller
Downturned corners that create a resting expression the client doesn’t intend
Proportion imbalance between upper and lower lip that throws off the overall face
How Lip Fillers Work at Embrace Skin and Wellness
Five steps. Nothing here should slow you down from booking.
Consultation
We look at your lip anatomy, talk through what you want to change, and confirm which approach fits. No obligation to book a treatment comes out of that conversation.
Pre-Treatment Prep
Topical numbing cream goes on and is given time to work properly. Most clients are surprised by how manageable the procedure feels once they’re in the chair.
Injection
Dr. Kristie Holliday, DNP, FNP-C places the filler based on the anatomical assessment from your consultation. A full session at Embrace, including prep time, runs about 30 to 45 minutes.
Post-Treatment Check
We review the result before you leave and address any asymmetry while you’re still in the chair. Aftercare instructions go with you.
Follow-Up
Results settle fully within one to two weeks. We’re reachable after your appointment if anything needs attention.
NouvaDerm Before and After | Results at Embrace Skin and Wellness
Your skin is unique, so we begin with a detailed assessment before recommending a NouvaDerm treatment. The before-and-after photos below show real patients treated for concerns such as acne scars, sun damage, pigmentation, uneven texture, and skin laxity. Results vary based on your starting skin condition, treatment mode, and recommended aftercare, including the EXO|E recovery protocol.
When Will You See Results and How Long Do Lip Fillers Last?
Results are visible as soon as the session ends. Swelling in the first 24 to 72 hours can make the lips look fuller or uneven. That’s part of the healing process, not a sign of how the final result will look. At two weeks, once swelling has resolved, the actual outcome becomes assessable.
Longevity depends on the product and individual metabolism. Most clients hold their result for 6 to 12 months. Some metabolise hyaluronic acid faster than others. Touch-up sessions between full treatments extend and maintain the outcome without needing to start from scratch each time.
Why Lip Fillers Work When Everything Else Doesn't
Lip liner and overlining work up to a point. When the issue is in the tissue itself, nothing applied to the surface changes it. Hyaluronic acid filler sits inside the lip and adds structure from within. That’s a different mechanism, not a better version of the same thing.
A few things worth knowing before you book:
Results show up in the chair. You leave the appointment with the change already visible.
Hyaluronic acid occurs naturally in the body. The material itself isn’t foreign.
The treatment is fully reversible. Hyaluronidase dissolves hyaluronic acid filler quickly and effectively if a client wants to adjust the volume or start over entirely.
Longevity runs from 6 to 12 months. The range depends on the product and how fast your body metabolises hyaluronic acid.
Downtime is minimal. Most clients go back to their normal day the same afternoon.
The treatment adjusts over time. As your lips change with age, what makes clinical sense changes too, and so does the approach.
WHAT OUR CUSTOMERS SAY ABOUT US
Testimonials
Why Collierville Clients Choose Embrace for Lip Fillers
Most lip filler regret comes from the provider, not the product. At Embrace, the injector holds a DNP-level clinical credential, the protocol is physician-directed, and conservative is the default position. That’s not standard across med spas in this market.
Dr. Kristie Holliday, DNP, FNP-C
builds every injectable protocol around clinical assessment. What's trending in aesthetics that month doesn't factor into what goes into your lips.
Dr. Gina Bray, DO
provides physician-level medical supervision across every treatment at Embrace. Every plan is reviewed before it's executed.

The full plan, realistic outcomes, and cost are all on the table before you decide anything.
Why Provider Credentials Matter More Than Price for Lip Fillers
Vascular occlusion from a misplaced injection is rare, but when it happens, the difference between a provider who recognises it and responds correctly and one who doesn’t is significant. Filler migration, asymmetry that compounds across repeated sessions with poor technique, and product placed too superficially to create visible lumps are all documented outcomes when clinical training isn’t there. They’re uncommon when a trained injector assesses anatomy first and controls placement depth carefully. Price being the primary selection criteria changes that risk profile considerably.
Dr. Kristie Holliday, DNP, FNP-C holds clinical pharmacology and anatomical training from her DNP program and her FNP-C practice. Lip injections sit in complex vascular territory. That background is the relevant credential for this specific treatment.
How Much Do Lip Fillers Cost in Collierville, TN?
Cost varies by product and how much volume the treatment requires. Based on current market rates across the Collierville and Memphis area, lip filler typically runs from $500 to $900 per syringe. Most first-time clients need one syringe. Touch-up sessions usually require less. Your consultation at Embrace includes a specific cost conversation so there are no surprises before you schedule anything. To talk through what your treatment would cost, call (901) 457-7891.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are lip fillers and how do they work?
Lip fillers are injectable hyaluronic acid treatments placed directly into the lip tissue using a fine needle or cannula. Hyaluronic acid attracts and holds water in the tissue, adding volume, definition, or structure depending on where and how it’s placed. Results are immediate and typically last 6 to 12 months.
How long do lip fillers last in Collierville, TN?
Most last between 6 and 12 months. The range depends on the product formulation and how fast your body metabolises hyaluronic acid. Some people hold results longer than others. Touch-up sessions help maintain the outcome, and most clients need a full re-treatment once or twice a year.
Do lip fillers hurt?
The lips are sensitive, but topical numbing cream is applied before the procedure and given adequate time to work. Most clients describe it as mild pressure or a brief pinch. First-timers consistently say it was more manageable than they expected.
Is a lip flip the same as lip filler?
No. A lip flip uses a neuromodulator injected above the upper lip to relax the muscle and let the lip roll outward slightly. No volume is added. Lip filler uses hyaluronic acid to add actual physical volume. Some clients need one, some the other, and some benefit from both.
What's the difference between Juvederm and Restylane for lips?
Both are hyaluronic acid fillers approved for lip use but with different formulations, textures, and behaviour in the tissue. The right product depends on your lip anatomy, the result you want, and how your lips have responded to filler previously. We assess this at consultation rather than defaulting to one product for everyone.
Can lip fillers be reversed or dissolved?
Yes. Hyaluronidase dissolves hyaluronic acid filler quickly and effectively. If you want to adjust the volume, correct an outcome you’re not happy with, or start over completely, dissolving the filler is straightforward. This reversibility is one of the main reasons hyaluronic acid remains the standard for lip augmentation.
How much does lip filler cost in Collierville, TN?
Based on current area market rates, lip filler in Collierville typically ranges from $500 to $900 per syringe. Most first-time clients need one syringe. Touch-up appointments often require less. Your free consultation at Embrace includes a specific cost discussion before anything is booked.
What should I avoid after getting lip fillers?
For the first 24 to 48 hours, avoid intense exercise, excessive heat, alcohol, and direct pressure on the lip area. Sleeping face-down in the first few nights is also worth avoiding. A full aftercare sheet goes with you before you leave the appointment.
Can I get lip fillers if I have HSV (cold sores)?
Lip injections can trigger an outbreak in people who carry HSV. We discuss your history at the consultation. A short course of antiviral medication taken before the appointment significantly reduces that risk in most cases. Having HSV doesn’t disqualify you from lip filler, but it requires a conversation before we proceed.
How do I know if I need lip filler or just a lip flip?
If you want more volume in the body of the lip, filler is the right tool. If you want the upper lip to show more or appear slightly fuller without adding physical volume, a lip flip may be enough. Many clients benefit from both. We sort that out at your consultation before recommending anything.
Who administers lip fillers at Embrace Skin and Wellness?
Dr. Kristie Holliday, DNP, FNP-C administers all lip filler treatments at Embrace. All injectable protocols are reviewed under the medical supervision of Dr. Gina Bray, DO. Every client at Embrace is treated by a licensed clinical provider, not an aesthetician working outside their scope.
Are lip fillers safe?
Yes, when administered by a trained clinical provider using approved hyaluronic acid products. Risks include bruising, swelling, asymmetry, and in rare cases vascular complications. Those risks reduce significantly when the injector has the clinical background to assess anatomy, select the right product, and respond to complications. At Embrace, every session is performed by a DNP-level clinician under physician oversight.
