Lip filler treatment or enlargement can be performed in a variety of ways to improve the size and shape of the lips. Lip augmentation creates fuller, more defined and voluptuous lips. As we age, the lips tend to flatten and lose their definition. Mature patients often request lip enhancement or a lip lift to restore a more youthful shape and fullness to their lips.

At Cosmetic Injectables Victoria we treat each patient based on his or her needs to create luscious lips with a natural appearance – no “trout pouts” or “duck lips” here!

Because they contain so many blood vessels, lips are highly susceptible to swelling. Immediately after the injections, your lips will be enlarged, but will also be swollen due to the trauma of the needle.

To minimize swelling, you can apply ice packs at 20-minute intervals throughout the day. You can also keep your head elevated at night by sleeping with more pillows.

The next morning, your lips may be even more swollen than the day before, especially if you got dermal filler instead of a fat transfer. This is completely normal, and is simply part of the healing process.

After this, the swelling will begin to go down, and should be gone about three days after your lip injections.
