Cosmetic Injection

Lip fillers are injectable treatments designed to enhance the size, shape, and definition of your lips. The most common filler used is hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring substance in the body that helps maintain skin volume and hydration. Hyaluronic acid-based fillers are preferred for lip enhancement due to their ability to provide a more natural-looking result compared to other fillers.

When injected into the lips, hyaluronic acid-based fillers work by attracting moisture to the area, which helps to restore volume, smooth lines, and improve the overall texture of the lips. The procedure is minimally invasive and involves little to no discomfort, with most patients experiencing only mild swelling and bruising post-treatment.

Lip filler injections are one of the most popular cosmetic procedures for enhancing the lips. They offer a quick, non-surgical option to achieve the perfect pout, restoring volume and definition without the need for invasive treatments. Here are some key benefits of lip filler injections:

• Fuller Lips: Hyaluronic acid-based fillers add volume to the lips, giving them a fuller, more youthful appearance.
• Natural-Looking Results: With careful injection techniques, we ensure that your lips look enhanced yet natural, complementing your overall facial features.
• Minimal Downtime: Lip filler treatments are quick, and recovery time is minimal. You can return to your normal activities almost immediately.
• Non-Surgical Solution: Lip injections offer a safer, non-invasive alternative to more complex surgical procedures like lip augmentation surgery.

At Maple Grove Medical Clinic, we follow a comprehensive, personalized treatment plan for lip enhancement. Here’s what you can expect during your lip filler treatment:

1. Initial Consultation: Your journey to fuller lips begins with a consultation with one of our experienced medical professionals. We’ll discuss your goals, assess your facial features, and recommend the best approach for your lip enhancement.
2. Preparation: Prior to your treatment, your lips will be cleansed, and a topical numbing cream or local anesthetic may be applied to minimize discomfort during the procedure.
3. Injection: Using a fine needle or cannula, the lip filler is carefully injected into specific areas of the lips, such as the vermillion border, Cupid’s Bow, and body of the lips. This precise technique ensures that the filler enhances your lips naturally and harmoniously with the rest of your face.
4. Post-Treatment Care: The procedure takes about 15-30 minutes, and there is minimal downtime. You may experience some mild swelling or bruising, but this typically subsides within 1-2 days. For optimal results, we advise avoiding strenuous activities and direct sun exposure for 24-48 hours.

Keep in mind, more than one treatment session might be needed, but this is determined on a case-by-case basis. It can change depending on your goals and how thin your lips are.

While the results of lip filler treatments are immediately visible, full effects may take a few days to develop as swelling subsides. Most patients experience:

• Instant Fuller Lips: Enjoy plumper lips with noticeable volume and definition right after the treatment.
• Slight Swelling: A mild amount of swelling is common post-treatment, but it usually resolves within 1-2 days.
• Minimal Downtime: You can resume your normal activities right after the procedure, though it’s recommended to avoid makeup application, alcohol, and vigorous exercise for 24 hours.
• Long-Lasting Results: Depending on the filler used and individual metabolism, results can last anywhere from 6 to 12 months. Regular touch-ups may be needed to maintain optimal results.

At Maple Grove Medical Clinic in Oakville, we understand that every patient is unique, and we take the time to create personalized treatment plans tailored to your aesthetic goals. Our experienced injectors use the latest techniques and the highest-quality fillers to ensure natural, beautiful results. Whether you’re looking to enhance your lips or smooth out wrinkles around your mouth, our team is committed to delivering the best results.

Hyaluronic acid-based lip fillers are considered the gold standard for lip enhancement. They offer several benefits, including:

• Natural-Looking Results: Hyaluronic acid mimics the body’s natural moisture, providing a plump, hydrated, and natural look to the lips.
• Customizable Treatments: Our skilled injectors can precisely control the amount of filler and its placement, ensuring that your lips look balanced and proportional.
• Safe and Reversible: Hyaluronic acid fillers are FDA-approved and offer a safe, non-surgical solution for lip enhancement. Additionally, if you’re unhappy with the results, the effects of hyaluronic acid can be reversed with an enzyme called hyaluronidase.

On average, lip fillers last between 6-12 months, depending on factors such as the type of filler used, the amount of filler injected, and your body’s metabolism. Over time, the filler gradually breaks down and is absorbed by the body, and you may need a touch-up treatment to maintain your results.

Lip fillers are ideal for patients who want to:

• Achieve fuller, more defined lips
• Restore volume lost due to aging or genetics
• Improve lip symmetry
• Enhance the overall appearance of their facial features without surgery

During your consultation, our team will assess your facial structure, discuss your aesthetic goals, and determine whether lip fillers are the right option for you.

While lip fillers are most commonly used for the lips, they can also be used to address other areas of the face, including:

• Nasolabial Folds: The lines that run from the nose to the mouth.
• Marionette Lines: The lines from the corners of the mouth down to the chin.
• Smile Lines: The lines around the mouth that deepen as we age.
