Lip Fillers in Edmonton
If you’re considering lip enhancement in Edmonton, you’re not alone. Whether you’re addressing volume loss, softening perioral lines, or simply seeking a more balanced enhancement, lip filler treatments with Dr. Russ Wong offer a natural-looking, confidence-boosting solution.
We use hyaluronic acid fillers - a natural substance found in the body - to shape, smooth, and volumize the lips while preserving your natural contours and lip shape. With advanced techniques, personalized planning, and a focus on facial harmony, Dr. Wong creates subtle results tailored to your aesthetic goals.
What are lip fillers?
Lip fillers are injectable gels made primarily of hyaluronic acid, a substance naturally found in the body that attracts and retains moisture. These fillers are used to add volume, enhance lip shape, and smooth fine lines around the mouth. At Dr. Wong’s practice, we use only hyaluronic acid-based fillers due to their soft, natural feel, proven safety, and reversibility. Whether you’re looking to subtly define your lips or restore volume lost with age, lip fillers offer a customizable and non-surgical solution tailored to your features.
Common concerns addressed include:
- Lip volume loss due to ageing
- Naturally thin lips or unbalanced lip shapes
- Fine lines or perioral wrinkles around the mouth
This cosmetic procedure is non-surgical and involves minimal downtime, making it a popular choice among patients seeking natural, refined results.
WHAT TO EXPECT FROM YOUR LIP FILLER APPOINTMENT
Initial Consultation
Dr. Wong begins with a detailed one-on-one consultation to understand your aesthetic preferences and desired outcome. He conducts a full assessment of your facial proportions, lip symmetry, and overall balance to recommend the most appropriate type and placement of filler. This ensures results that enhance your natural features without looking overdone. You’ll also have the opportunity to ask questions, discuss concerns, and explore how lip enhancement can complement your overall facial harmony.
Treatment Time
The lip injection treatment typically takes around 30 minutes. A topical numbing agent is applied beforehand to maximize comfort and minimize any potential discomfort. Most patients describe the sensation as a slight pinch or pressure. Dr. Wong uses advanced techniques for precision and natural-looking results, making this a quick and straightforward in-office procedure.
Application of Lip Fillers
Dr. Wong uses advanced techniques and a deep understanding of facial anatomy to carefully place the filler at precise injection points. This strategic approach ensures even distribution, balanced volume, and natural-looking enhancement tailored to your individual lip shape and proportions. The treatment is performed with precision to minimize swelling and support a smooth, comfortable recovery.
Recovery Process
Results are visible immediately, with full effects becoming more refined as the filler settles over the following days. You may experience mild swelling, slight bruising, or minor tenderness for a few days after treatment. These common side effects usually resolve quickly and won’t affect your normal activities.
How Long Do Lip Fillers Last?
Depending on the filler product, individual metabolism, and application of lip fillers, results typically last between 4 to 6 months. For best results, we recommend regular touch-ups and maintaining a good skincare routine to support skin rejuvenation.
Types of Fillers We Use
Dr. Wong only works with premium, Health Canada approved hyaluronic acid fillers known for their safety, flexibility, and natural feel. Each dermal filler treatment is selected based on your anatomy, desired outcome, and volume requirements.
We avoid artificial appearances by focusing on balanced lip enhancement, delivering natural-looking results tailored to all skin types, including darker skin tones. Treatments are suitable for mature clients, younger patients seeking subtle volume, and anyone looking for soft, harmonious enhancement.
