Do Lip injections hurt?

When you book a lip filler in Toronto, we will administer a numbing agent to minimize discomfort and reduce lip filler pain so that you do not feel pain. Most fillers contain Lidocaine, which is a freezing agent that numbs your lips after the first poke and will make your experience more tolerable. It is typical for patients to see some swelling, redness, or feel a little sore at the treatment site after a lip filler treatment. These symptoms typically subside within a day. If you experience any lingering or more severe pain, we advise you to call us immediately.

How many appointments will I need?

The great thing about our lip fillers is that they can last up to a year! This means any follow-up or maintenance appointments are not needed right away. When you schedule your consultation with us, our specialists will explain in detail how long each type of lip filler will last and what kind of desired results you can expect to see in your lips. If you are satisfied with the results of your lip filler, as many of our patients are, we recommend booking your next appointment when you are ready to keep your results consistent with proper lip filler maintenance.

How long until I see results?

You will be able to see your lip filler results immediately following your appointment. At first, your lips will appear overfilled due to lip filler swelling, but as the solution settles in, we have no doubt you will be extremely satisfied with your new, perfect lips. Each patient’s body is different, and our specialists design a treatment plan according to your individual needs. Your lip augmentation results may vary, and it is important to discuss this during your consultation so you know what to expect.

How much filler will I need?

The amount of filler you need really depends on your aesthetic goals and how your body absorbs it. Most patients opt for 0.5 – 1 syringe of filler per treatment. The treatment can last anywhere between 10 and 18 months. The best way to determine your need is to come in for your consultation and speak with one of our providers.

How do I reduce swelling after Lip Fillers?

Some people experience swelling in the lip area after receiving lip filler treatment, which is one of the common side effects. The amount of hyaluronic acid used can also impact the risk of swelling. This is a completely normal side effect of lip injections. It tends to show up after two days of treatment before reducing and returning to normality after two weeks. If lip swelling does occur, patients can apply ice to the lips using an ice pack or an ice cube covered in cloth (so it doesn’t stick to the lip and cause pain). This will help ease any minor swelling, itching, bruising, or pain that may result from the treatment.

Can I Combine My Lip Augmentation with Other Procedures?

Yes, you can! When you schedule your lip filler appointment, talk to us about other procedures you are interested in combining. When you discuss your lip filler with our specialists, they can advise which procedures are the right combination based on your individual goals. Some of the most common procedures we combine with a lip filler include other facial dermal fillers , chemical peels , or BOTOX to smooth the fine wrinkles that develop around the lips.

What are the risks associated with Lip Fillers?

Because our lip injections in Toronto are non-invasive, the lip filler risks are minimal. You’ve likely seen someone who has had a lip filler injection that doesn’t look great. The side effects of lip injections or fillers include bruising, unevenness, and filler bumps. By getting lip injections done by cosmetic specialists at Aviva Cosmetic & Laser Clinic, who boast tremendous experience and expertise, you greatly reduce the risk of experiencing any side effects.

Can you get lip fillers at 17?

While there are currently no specific lip filler age restrictions for receiving dermal fillers as an adult, most clinics will insist on parental consent before performing treatments on anyone under 18. It is important to note that most people do not stop growing until they reach their early 20s, so many practitioners advise younger patients to undergo a thorough consultation to assess whether the treatment is necessary.

Are lip fillers vegan?

The suitability of lip fillers for vegans depends on the type of filler and the lip filler ingredients used. The hyaluronic acid used in Juvéderm is made from bacteria; hence, it is suitable for vegans. However, other types of fillers use hyaluronic acid derived from animal sources, so it is best to check first. A secondary consideration is that most pharmaceutical products, like dermal fillers, undergo animal testing before they are considered safe for humans.

Introduction
Lip Fillers

As we age, we naturally lose suppleness to our skin as a result of the loss of subcutaneous fat. Lips can lose their volume due to age, diet, and genetics, and the skin around our lips can lose elasticity. Other factors that affect the skin include sun exposure, heredity, and lifestyle. Seeing an increase in wrinkles and sagging skin can affect our confidence, but it doesn’t have to diminish our self-esteem or lifestyle.

By opting for a lip filler procedure, you can give yourself a much-needed boost with a non-invasive, non-surgical procedure, and our specialists at Aviva Cosmetic & Laser Clinic are ready to work with you at our Toronto, ON, clinic today, giving you the plump, full lips you desire, with our cutting edge lip enhancement treatments.

What are Lip Fillers?

Lip fillers, also referred to as lip augmentation, are FDA and Health Canada-approved dermal fillers that are used to treat the lip area specifically. Dermal filler is an incredibly popular non-surgical cosmetic procedure primarily using Hyaluronic acid-based filler, a naturally occurring substance your body already produces.

Beyond refining the look of your upper and lower lips, lip augmentation involves stimulating collagen production to add lip volume and promote skin elasticity and health. When you make an appointment to visit Aviva, our specialists can recommend one of the following lip filler procedures we offer using Juvederm. The great thing about Juvederm is that, unlike most other fillers, it is made of a synthetic form of hyaluronic acid created from bacterial fermentation called Non-Animal Stabilised Hyaluronic Acid. The ingredients are completely vegan (non-animal based)

Each treatment offers a range of benefits for our patients. When you call us, our specialists will help you determine which lip filler is right for you and give you the results you desire.

Lip fillers are a type of cosmetic treatment designed to enhance the appearance of your lips. These fillers are typically made from hyaluronic acid, a natural substance found in the human body. Hyaluronic acid helps to retain moisture and add volume, making it an ideal component for lip augmentation. By using lip fillers, you can achieve fuller, more defined lips, creating a youthful and attractive appearance. Whether you’re looking to plump up thin lips or add a subtle boost to your natural lip shape, lip fillers offer a versatile solution tailored to your aesthetic goals.

Dermal fillers, including lip fillers, work by injecting a gel-like substance into the skin to restore lost volume and smooth out wrinkles. The primary ingredient in these fillers is hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring substance in the body that helps retain moisture and add volume to the skin. When injected into the lips, hyaluronic acid fillers plump up the lip tissue, creating a more defined lip shape and adding volume to thin lips. This process not only enhances the appearance of your lips but also stimulates collagen production, promoting skin elasticity and health. The result is a natural-looking, fuller lip that complements your facial features.

Selecting the Best Filler for Your Needs

To select the best filler for your needs, it’s essential to consult with a qualified healthcare professional or cosmetic surgeon. They will assess your lips and recommend the best filler based on your individual needs and goals. Additionally, consider your budget, lifestyle, and personal preferences when making a decision. Our specialists at Aviva Cosmetic & Laser Clinic are here to guide you through the process, ensuring you achieve the beautiful, natural-looking results you desire.

It’s about you
What’s the first step?

The first step to getting a lip filler in Toronto is to schedule a consultation session for a lip enhancement procedure. During this session, we will explain what a lip filler is. Your assigned provider will assess your desired outcomes and determine whether you are the right candidate for this procedure.

Your consultation session is your opportunity to discuss any concerns or questions about lip enhancements you have. Upon completion of the assessment, our specialists will be able to confirm the lip filler cost and provide you with any necessary information to help you achieve optimal results.

While you should be able to receive your lip fillers the same day as your consultation, we strongly recommend that you avoid consuming alcohol or using blood thinners such as fish oils, Aspirin, Aleve, and Advil for at least two days before your appointment.

What to Expect on the Day of a Lip Filler Treatment

All of our lip filler treatments are quick, painless, and require no downtime. On the day of your appointment, your specialist will walk you through the procedure and the techniques they will be using. Your assigned specialist will explain which lip filler they will be using on you. Lip filler results will be discussed to ensure you have realistic expectations.

The first step is to ensure that your face is clean before the injection. You will use either a cold compress or numbing cream to make your experience more tolerable and painless. The second step is the injection with a fine needle. Injections are marked beforehand and will take only a few seconds.

After your lip injection, it’s normal for our team to massage the area so the filler is evenly dispersed gently. We will then examine the treated area and add more filler if necessary. This process will continue until you are both satisfied with your appearance.

Lip filler injections take approximately 20 to 30 minutes and require virtually no downtime after the procedure because they are minimally invasive. That means you can go back to nearly all of your daily activities as soon as your procedure ends.

Aviva
Lip Fillers recovery

The majority of our patients do not experience any side effects from lip fillers. However, some redness and swelling will occur since lips contain so many blood vessels. These should subside within a few hours but can take as long as a day. You can use an ice pack and over-the-counter pain medication to alleviate any discomfort. Your assigned specialist can also recommend topical gels or ointments to soothe any irritation you may experience.

We always recommend avoiding any intense or strenuous activity for the first 24 – 48 hours not to increase blood flow and minimize any swelling or bruising, but you can do most of your normal activities without worry. To minimize swelling, you can apply ice packs at 20-minute intervals throughout the day as part of your lip filler aftercare. You will also need to keep your head elevated at night while sleeping. You may feel a bit tender for the next day or so, but you shouldn’t require any pain medication.

The treated areas may initially appear “overfilled,” but this will settle within a day.
