Lip Enhancement
What is Lip Enhancement....
Our lips, like our eyes and nose, are a defining and prominent feature. A radiant smile can add youth to your appearance, boosting your self-confidence and helping to make your outer appearance match the way you feel on the inside. Lip enhancement or lip fillers procedures not only plump and firm the lips, they reduce the appearance of fine vertical lines above the mouth, define the lip line, prevent lipstick bleeding, and even create a upward turn to the corners of your mouth.

Procedure
After a thorough consultation with one of our expert lip augmentation practitioner during which your goals and expectations are discussed, you and your practitioner will decide on a treatment plan for lip enhancement. If you opt to have the procedure right away, you will then get started. Though the procedure usually causes only minor discomfort, some patients do opt to have a topical anesthetic cream applied to the lips during their lip augmentation procedure. If you choose this pre-treatment option, you will then wait about 30-45 minutes for the medication to take effect. Once your lips are less sensitive, our doctor will administer the lip filler treatment via tiny injections that are virtually pain free.
Downtime
Following your treatment you can return to your normal daily activities. It typically takes about 4 weeks for the filler to settle in and achieve the final, desired look. The results will typically last about 6 months.
Aftercare
Your lips will likely be swollen after the procedure.Apply ice to your lips afterward using an ice pack or an ice cube covered in cloth (so it doesn’t stick to the lip and cause pain).Avoid strenuous exercise for 24 to 48 hours after you get lip or any other dermal fillers. Stay hydrated.

Optimising Your Results
Preparation is important before any treatment to get the best results. One Week Prior to Lip Injections,avoid blood thinning over-the-counter medications such as aspirin, Motrin, ibuprofen, and Aleve. Avoid supplements, including St. John’s Wort, Gingko biloba, primrose oil, garlic, ginseng, and Vitamin E. Two days prior to injections avoid topical products such as Tretinoin (Retin-A), Retinol, Retinoids, Glycolic Acid, or any “anti-aging” products. Avoid waxing, bleaching, tweezing, or using hair removal cream on and around the area to be treated. Do start taking Arnica two days prior to the procedure. (This is not required, but it will help to lessen bruising). Lastly, 24 hours prior to injections, DO NOT DRINK alcoholic beverages.
Lip Enhancements FAQs
People want to have lip enhancement for various reason from self confidence to improving volume of their lip(s). To define the lip lines or to smooth out the looks of lips. Whatever your concern is, it is strongly recommended to have your initial no obligation consultation with one of our doctors to have all your answers.
There are some side effects associated with the injections for lip enhancement, though most are temporary and generally only last for a day or two. This can include bleeding from the injection site, slight swelling and bruising, tenderness at the site, and redness. There is after-care that must be followed in order to reduce and eliminate side effects. Ice can be used to ease comfort. Lip products and lipstick should also be avoided for 24 hours after the injections to avoid any complications, including infection.
Many people see results within 24 hours of getting the injections. It may take a few hours for swelling to go down and after that, you will notice fuller, smoother lips that you can enjoy for many months before having to think about future injections.
There are various brands of lip enhancement injections on the market. It is a good idea to schedule a consultation with a clincian at first to learn about what it is that you need. Some products are able to provide more fullness than others. Most of the products are made with natural ingredients already found inside your body, so the chance of being allergic to anything is slim. Some of the injections feature lidocaine, which can also reduce the amount of pain experienced with the injection, though not everyone can tolerate the lidocaine, which limits the types of injections that can be used.
Not everyone is a candidate for lip enhancement, though many people are. Various health conditions may impacty your eligibility and this can be something you discuss with our doctor/nurse during your non-obligation consultation.
