Lip FillersEnhance lip volume, shape, and definition while maintaining your natural facial proportions.

Discomfort is generally mild and varies by individual. Topical numbing may be used before treatment, and certain filler formulations contain lidocaine to help reduce discomfort.

We select Health Canada–approved hyaluronic acid fillers from trusted manufacturers, including Swiss Teoxane (Teosyal®) and French Stylage®. These formulations offer a range of cohesivities and elasticity profiles, allowing our injectors to choose the specific product best suited for your lip anatomy and dynamic facial movement.

Lip fillers can help soften fine vertical perioral lines and define the vermilion border, which may reduce lipstick feathering or bleeding into adjacent skin. However, treatment cannot eliminate all dynamic wrinkles around the mouth.

Swelling, tenderness, and minor bruising are normal physiological responses after filler injections. Swelling is typically most noticeable during the first 24 to 72 hours and gradually subsides over several days. Final results should be evaluated after tissue has fully settled.

Filler dosing is individualized. The appropriate amount depends on your existing lip volume, anatomical proportions, tissue elasticity, and desired aesthetic outcome. Dosing is determined collaboratively during your consultation rather than through a fixed formula.

Our injectors have thorough training in facial anatomy and the pathways of the labial arteries. We utilize careful anatomical assessment, appropriate injection techniques, conservative product placement, and established protocols for recognizing and managing complications. High-frequency point-of-care ultrasound is accessible on-site for assessment when clinically indicated.

Yes. Hyaluronic acid fillers can be broken down using the enzyme hyaluronidase. While hyaluronidase is an effective corrective tool, individual response varies and multiple sessions may be required depending on the product type, volume, and depth of placement. Dissolving treatments start from $250, with final pricing determined upon clinical consultation.

For the first 24 to 48 hours, avoid vigorous exercise, saunas, steam rooms, hot tubs, alcohol, drinking through straws, and firm pressure or massage on the lips. Sleeping with your head slightly elevated can also help reduce initial swelling.

Common side effects include temporary swelling, bruising, redness, and tenderness. Less common risks include localized lumps, asymmetry, infection, delayed inflammatory reactions, or filler migration. Rare but serious complications include vascular occlusion (blocked blood vessel), tissue injury, and visual disturbances, which require immediate medical assessment. Sudden visual changes or stroke-like symptoms require immediate emergency medical care.

Previous lip filler does not automatically prevent additional treatment. Your injector will assess existing filler, lip anatomy, and any complications before recommending further injections. If old product has migrated or created uneven pockets, dissolving with hyaluronidase before re-treatment may be considered.

Initial swelling and bruising can affect the appearance of results, and reassessment is generally appropriate after approximately 2–4 weeks once these acute effects have fully resolved.
