Lip Augmentation in Edmonton
Natural volume and shape — award-winning CRNA-regulated RN
Lip augmentation uses hyaluronic acid filler to add volume, improve symmetry, and enhance lip shape. The procedure is temporary, reversible, and takes 30–45 minutes with no surgery required. Serving Edmonton clients at 8813 63 Ave NW. Individual results vary.
What Is Lip Augmentation?
Lip augmentation is the clinical term for any procedure that increases lip volume, refines shape, or enhances definition. In Edmonton, the most common and safest approach is hyaluronic acid (HA) dermal filler — a Health Canada-approved gel injected into the lips by a qualified injector.
HA filler is preferred because it is reversible. If you're unhappy with results, an enzyme called hyaluronidase can dissolve it. This is one of the main reasons HA filler has become the standard for lip augmentation across Edmonton and across Canada.
Note: "Lip augmentation" and "lip filler" describe the same procedure — augmentation is the clinical term, filler is the everyday name. At our Edmonton clinic, they are the same treatment. Results vary by individual; a consultation is required before any treatment.
What Lip Augmentation Can Address
Volume
HA filler adds controlled volume to thin or naturally small lips. Most Edmonton clients seeking augmentation want more volume — from subtle to moderate enhancement.
Shape & symmetry
Filler can improve uneven lips (e.g., upper thinner than lower) and define the cupid's bow and lip borders for better overall shape.
Definition
As lips lose definition with age, filler can restore a crisp, well-defined border that improves lipstick wear and overall lip appearance.
Hydration & plumpness
HA filler attracts and retains water. This can improve the overall plumpness and hydrated appearance of lips, particularly for those with fine lines around the mouth.
Individual results vary. No specific outcome can be guaranteed. A consultation is required before treatment.
What to Expect at Your Appointment
Consultation
Shayse reviews your lip anatomy, discusses your goals, and recommends a volume and approach. Questions answered, realistic expectations set. No treatment happens without your understanding and consent.
Numbing (15–20 min)
Topical numbing cream is applied to the lips before treatment. This makes the procedure significantly more comfortable. The filler itself also contains lidocaine for additional comfort during injection.
The injection (10–15 min)
Filler is carefully placed using fine needles or a blunt cannula, depending on the technique best suited to your anatomy. Precise placement controls volume and shape.
Review & aftercare
Results are reviewed immediately. Aftercare instructions provided. Most clients return to their day within the hour. Swelling peaks in 24–48 hours; final results visible at 2 weeks.

Lip Augmentation FAQ — Edmonton
What is lip augmentation?
Lip augmentation is the clinical term for treatments that increase lip volume, improve shape, or enhance definition. In Edmonton, the most common method is hyaluronic acid dermal filler — a gel injected into the lips by a qualified injector. The procedure is temporary, reversible, and does not involve surgery. Results vary by individual.
What is the difference between lip augmentation and lip filler?
They describe the same treatment. 'Lip augmentation' is the clinical or medical term; 'lip filler' is the everyday name used by most clients. Both refer to injecting hyaluronic acid filler to add volume, improve symmetry, or enhance lip shape. At our Edmonton clinic, the procedure and outcomes are identical regardless of which term you use.
How long does lip augmentation last in Edmonton?
Hyaluronic acid lip augmentation typically lasts 6–12 months. Individual metabolism, lifestyle, and the specific filler product used all affect duration. Many Edmonton clients schedule maintenance every 6–9 months. Your injector will help you understand what to expect based on your starting lip anatomy and goals.
How much does lip augmentation cost in Edmonton?
Lip augmentation in Edmonton typically ranges $450–$750 per syringe. Half syringes (0.5 ml) are available for subtle first-time enhancement. Transparent pricing is provided during your consultation — no surprises. Shayse discusses cost, expected volume, and realistic outcomes before any treatment begins.
Is lip augmentation painful?
Most clients describe mild discomfort, not significant pain. Numbing cream is applied before treatment, and the filler itself contains lidocaine (a local anaesthetic). Most people tolerate the procedure well. Individual sensitivity varies — your injector will take your comfort level into account.
How much lip filler do I need for augmentation?
Most first-time clients start with 0.5 ml for subtle enhancement or 1 ml for more noticeable volume. The right amount depends on your natural lip shape, goal, and facial proportions. Your injector will recommend a volume after assessing your anatomy — the goal is results that look natural for your face.
Can lip augmentation look natural?
Yes. When performed by an experienced injector using the right product and volume, lip augmentation can look entirely natural — enhancing your features without appearing overdone. Shayse's approach prioritizes proportion and balance specific to each client's face. The goal is never to make lips look filled; the goal is to make them look like the best version of your own lips.
Is lip augmentation reversible?
Yes. Hyaluronic acid filler can be dissolved using hyaluronidase enzyme. If you're unhappy with results, or if swelling resolves differently than expected, your injector can dissolve the filler. This reversibility is one of the key reasons HA filler is the preferred method for lip augmentation in Edmonton and across Canada.
How long does a lip augmentation appointment take?
Most lip augmentation appointments take 30–45 minutes including consultation, numbing (15–20 min), the injection itself (10–15 min), and post-treatment review. First-time appointments may be slightly longer. No downtime is required — many Edmonton clients return to work the same day.
What should I avoid before lip augmentation?
Avoid blood thinners, alcohol, fish oil supplements, and aspirin for 1–2 days before your appointment. These increase bruising risk. Arrive with a clean face, free of lip products. Eating beforehand and staying well hydrated helps prevent lightheadedness.

Can I combine lip augmentation with other treatments?
Yes. Many clients combine lip augmentation with Botox, a lip flip, cheek filler, or a vitamin B12 injection on the same visit. Your injector will advise on what can be done in a single appointment based on your goals and treatment plan.
What is the recovery like after lip augmentation?
Swelling and mild bruising are common for the first 3–5 days. Most clients feel comfortable in public by day 3–5. Final results are visible around 2 weeks once swelling fully resolves. Avoid strenuous exercise and alcohol for 24–48 hours. Full aftercare instructions provided at your appointment.
