Lip Augmentation in Toronto
There are two ways in which we engage the world. The first is with our eyes, the second is with our mouths. If you look at photos of beautiful women throughout history, one of the most striking commonalities between them is that they all have beautiful lips. Full, luscious lips connote youthfulness and vitality, and are a universal symbol for femininity. Dr. Alexander is arguably the best with Lip Fillers in Toronto and his patient's lushly crafted lips can attest to the fact.

He has spent his career focused on facial plastic surgery, completing multiple, rigorously demanding fellowships at the world’s most elite institutions.

What is Lip Augmentation?
Lip augmentation is a cosmetic procedure aimed at enhancing the size, shape, and fullness of the lips. It is often achieved through various techniques, including the injection of dermal fillers or fat transfer.
These procedures can help individuals achieve plumper, more youthful-looking lips, correct asymmetry, and enhance their overall facial appearance. Lip augmentation is a popular choice for those seeking a more defined and attractive mouth, often with relatively minimal downtime and quick results.
The Lip Augmentation Procedure
Dr. Alexander’s mantra is one of conservatism and obtaining natural-looking results. The goal is not to make you look drastically different; it is to restore harmony to your face by giving you the lips you once had, or the lips that are appropriately proportioned to the rest of your face.
Dr. Alexander uses advanced techniques with well-established, safe filler products to provide subtle enhancement of the lips. And he pays careful attention to the tissues around the lips themselves, using neuromodulators (e.g. BOTOX Cosmetic®) and fillers to bring harmony and balance to the entire perioral region. When receiving lip fillers in our Toronto facility, they can be applied incrementally. This allows the doctor to precisely control the Toronto lip filler process down to the millimeter.
Dr. Alexander only uses lip fillers containing hyaluronic acid, a key ingredient in the quest for more youthful lip contours. Hyaluronic acid is found naturally in the human body, and is a compound that hydrates and nourishes the cells, boosting lip volume and resilience.
After applying a lip-numbing agent, he will use tiny needles to augment the lips painlessly and precisely, with minimal swelling and bruising. The results are immediate and amazing. Patients may return to their normal routines the same day.
For some patients, rather than augmenting the volume of the lips, the more appropriate technique is to provide a surgical lip lift, using an imperceptible incision under the nose to elevate the upper lip to a more natural and aesthetically pleasing position.

Lip Augmentation FAQ
How do I know which filler to use?
Dr. Alexander will recommend the filler that will be most effective for you. Hyaluronic acid fillers are usually used for this enhancement. The types of fillers vary in how long they last, with the thinner fillers being reabsorbed by your body faster than thicker fillers. Thinner fillers are an excellent choice for a very subtle enhancement, but will require treatments more often, usually within about five or six months.
Will a Lip Augmentation Look Natural?
The art of lip augmentation lies in the abilities of the injector. Overfilled lips can look unnatural and obvious, but a customized lip augmentation will be a subtle change in your look and bring out the natural beauty of your other features.
Are There Any Risks for Lip Augmentation?
There is very little risk involved in lip augmentation, as the fillers used are extremely safe. It is always important to choose a facial plastic surgeon who uses the most advanced procedures, along with state-of-the-art patient safety systems.
Can a Lip Augmentation be Reversed?
Lip augmentation performed with hyaluronic acid fillers can be reversed with other injections. Lip augmentation with implants can be reversed by surgically removing the implants and replacing them or restoring the natural size of the lip structure.
How Long Do Lip Fillers Last?
Most lip fillers last for about six months to a year, after which you will see the effect slowly fading. To maintain your look, you may need more filler injected about every six months.
