What are lip fillers?
Lip fillers add volume, contour and definition to the lips. They are made of hyaluronic acid, a substance found naturally in the body that retains moisture, helping maintain fullness and hydration.
At Rejuvenation Calgary North, Dr. Danny Guo personally performs every lip filler treatment and tailors it to your facial structure, whether you want a subtle enhancement or a more noticeable change.
Before your appointment
- For about a week beforehand, avoid blood-thinning supplements and over-the-counter medications such as aspirin, ibuprofen, fish oil and vitamin E, to reduce bruising and swelling. Do not stop any prescribed medication without speaking to the doctor who prescribes it.
- Avoid alcohol for at least 24 hours before treatment.
- Arrive with clean, makeup-free lips and skin to reduce the risk of infection.
At your consultation, Dr. Guo reviews your medical history, including any history of cold sores, and discusses the shape and volume you are hoping to achieve.
The procedure
A topical numbing cream is typically applied first. You may feel a pinch with each injection, but the treatment is generally well tolerated, and Dr. Guo checks in with you throughout.
You can review the initial result as soon as the injections are finished. The final look takes some time to settle.
Aftercare
- Keep activity light and avoid strenuous exercise for the rest of the day.
- Stay upright, and avoid bending over or lying down for a couple of hours.
- Apply ice packs or cold compresses gently to reduce swelling.
- Drink plenty of water.
- Do not touch or massage your lips unless instructed to.
- Avoid heat such as sunbathing and saunas, which can worsen swelling.
Follow any personalized instructions from Dr. Guo’s team.
Restoring volume lost with age
Lips naturally lose volume and definition with age. Filler can restore that volume and smooth the lip, and can rejuvenate the area around the mouth for a more balanced, proportional face.

Book a consultationLip Fillers frequently asked questions
What are Lip Fillers?
Lip fillers are a type of dermal filler used for lip augmentation. They involve lip injections that add volume, shape, and definition to the lips, enhancing their overall appearance.
How Do Lip Fillers Work?
Lip fillers, typically made of hyaluronic acid, are injected into the lips and surrounding areas. This substance retains moisture and adds volume, which helps improve the appearance of lips and restore their natural contours.
What Should I Expect During a Lip Filler Treatment?
During a lip filler treatment, Dr. Guo will use fine needles to inject the filler. The procedure is relatively quick, and a numbing cream may be applied to minimize discomfort.
Are There Any Potential Side Effects of Lip Fillers?
Minor swelling, redness, and bruising are common side effects of lip filler injections. These typically resolve within a few days. Serious side effects are rare but can include infection or allergic reactions.
How Long Do the Effects of Lip Fillers Last?
The effects of lip fillers can last between 6–12 months, depending on the type of filler used and individual factors such as metabolism and skin type.
Can Lip Fillers Help with Fine Lines Around the Mouth?
Yes, lip fillers can help reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles around the mouth, including nasolabial folds. They enhance the volume and smooth out the skin, providing a more youthful appearance.
Can I Get Lip Fillers If I Have a History of Cold Sores?
If you have a history of cold sores, inform your practitioner before treatment. They may recommend taking antiviral medication before and after the procedure to prevent an outbreak.
What Should I Do to Prepare for a Lip Filler Appointment?
To prepare for lip injections, avoid blood-thinning medications, alcohol, and certain supplements for a week prior to the procedure. Arrive at your appointment with clean, makeup-free skin.
What Is the Aftercare for Lip Fillers?
After lip filler injections, avoid strenuous exercise and excessive sun exposure for 24–48 hours. Apply a cold compress to reduce swelling and stay hydrated. Follow any specific aftercare instructions provided by your practitioner.
How Do Lip Fillers Differ from Anti-Wrinkle Injections?
Lip fillers add volume and shape to the lips, while anti-wrinkle injections (such as Botox) relax the muscles to reduce the appearance of wrinkles. Both treatments can complement each other to enhance overall facial aesthetics.
Who performs lip filler injections at Rejuvenation Calgary North?
Every lip filler treatment at Rejuvenation Calgary North is performed personally by Dr. Danny Guo, a double board-certified dermatologist (Canada and the United States) and fellowship trained Mohs surgeon.
