LIP INJECTIONS CALGARY
Fuller, More Defined Lips That Still Look Like Yours
We treat your lips with the same anatomical precision we bring to the rest of the face. The result is added volume, definition and symmetry, and your lips still look like your own. Every treatment plan is built around your lip shape, bone structure and proportions, so volume goes exactly where it belongs.
Juvea holds a 4.9 rating from 450+ Google reviews, and every lip treatment is performed by our medically directed injector team.
We treat your lips the way we treat every feature: with precision. The result is added volume and symmetry that still looks like your lips, only better.
Lip injections are a non-surgical treatment that uses hyaluronic acid (HA) filler to add volume, definition and structure to the lips. HA is a substance found naturally in the skin. The filler gel adds volume where it’s placed, and it also binds water, which gives the lips a soft, hydrated look.
At Juvea, filler is placed according to your lip anatomy, including the vermilion border (the outline of the lip) and the cupid’s bow. Volume is added in proportion to your natural shape, not spread evenly across the lip.
Because the lips move constantly and draw attention, placement matters more here than almost anywhere else on the face. The same treatment can add volume, define the lip border, correct asymmetry or support downturned corners, depending on what your lips need. Our approach is less is more: proportion and definition without changing the shape you already have.
What Are Lip Injections?
Lip injections are a non-surgical treatment using hyaluronic acid (HA), a substance already present in the skin and lips, to add volume, hydration, and structure. HA works by binding water within the tissue, which creates a fuller, more hydrated result rather than inflating the lip.
At Juvea, injections are placed according to your specific lip anatomy, including your vermillion border (the outline of the lip) and cupid’s bow, so volume is added in proportion to your natural shape rather than spread evenly across the lip.
Because lips are a highly mobile and visible feature, precise placement matters more here than almost anywhere else on the face. The same treatment can add volume, define an undefined border, correct asymmetry between the left and right side, or soften a downturned corner, depending on what your lips need. We follow a less-is-more approach: adding proportion and definition without altering the shape you already have.
Lip Concerns We Treat
Every set of lips is unique, and your treatment plan should be as well. Below are the lip concerns we treat most often with lip filler in Calgary. Though the lips are a single feature, we never treat them in isolation, every plan accounts for how they balance with the rest of your face.

Pre-Treatment Care for Lip Injections
To reduce bruising, stop non-prescribed aspirin, ibuprofen and other anti-inflammatory medications, along with vitamins and herbal supplements such as fish oil, vitamin E and ginkgo, for two weeks before your appointment. If a doctor prescribed the medication, don’t stop it without speaking to them first. Avoid alcohol and caffeine for 1–3 days beforehand. If you get cold sores, tell your injector in advance so we can plan around it.
Post-Treatment Care for Lip Injections
Your lips will likely be swollen and tender, and possibly bruised, for 2–3 days. Use a cold compress gently to reduce swelling, and avoid pressing on the area. For at least 24 hours, avoid touching the injection sites, strenuous exercise and high heat. We’ll give you full aftercare instructions at your appointment.
We use only Health Canada–approved hyaluronic acid fillers, such as Teoxane®/Teosyal®, Belotero®, Restylane®, Revanesse®, and Juvéderm®, and select the right product based on your lip shape and desired fullness.

Juvea’s Multi-Modality Approach
Lip injections work beautifully on their own, but many clients choose to pair them with additional treatments that support overall facial balance and proportion. Here’s how we can further enhance your results:
Frequently Asked Questions
We believe in clear, direct answers so you can make the best decision for your face. If your question isn’t here, book a free consultation.
Are lip injections safe?
Lip injections have a strong safety record when performed by a trained medical professional using approved products. At Juvea, we use only Health Canada-approved hyaluronic acid fillers, which are biocompatible and can be dissolved if needed. Like any injectable, lip filler carries some risk, which your injector reviews with you at your consultation.
How long do lip fillers last?
Most lip filler results last between 6-12 months. The exact timeline depends on the product used and how quickly your body’s metabolism breaks down the hyaluronic acid.
Is lip filler treatment painful?
Most clients feel only mild discomfort. We apply topical numbing cream first, the filler contains lidocaine, and your injector checks in with you throughout.
What are the side effects of lip filler injections?
The most common side effects are swelling, bruising, tenderness and redness, which usually settle within 2–3 days. Less common effects include small lumps, which can be massaged or dissolved, and cold sore flare-ups in people prone to them. Rarely, filler can block a blood vessel, which needs immediate treatment; this is one reason training in complication management matters.
What's the difference between lip filler and a lip flip?
Lip filler adds volume and structure using hyaluronic acid. A lip flip uses a small dose of a neuromodulator to relax the upper lip muscle, so more of the lip shows without adding volume. If you want fuller, more defined lips, lip filler is the treatment that adds volume.
Can lip filler be corrected or dissolved?
Yes. Hyaluronic acid filler can be dissolved with hyaluronidase, an enzyme that breaks it down. We also correct migrated filler and results from treatment elsewhere, whether that means dissolving, adjusting or reshaping.
Is Russian lip filler a different product than regular lip filler?
No. Russian lips use the same hyaluronic acid fillers with a different injection technique, which builds height and structure rather than forward volume.
How much do lip fillers cost in Calgary?
Lip filler at Juvea starts at $350 for a mini lip (½ syringe) and $550 for a full syringe. Your cost depends on how much product you need and your injector’s level, and we confirm it at your consultation.
Are lip injections right for me?
Lip injections may suit you if you’re 18 or older and want to add volume, definition or balance to your lips. They also suit clients returning for a touch-up or correcting previous filler. Lip filler isn’t recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding, or while you have an active cold sore or infection near the mouth.
