Your Lips? Our Business.
A Complete Guide to Lip Injections Before and After
Say goodbye to lips you don’t love — and hello to beautifully enhanced, natural-looking volume.
Many people feel hesitant to talk about facial enhancements, but we believe there’s something powerful about looking and feeling your best. Full, well-defined lips have been a symbol of beauty for centuries, enhancing softness, balance, and facial harmony.
At Caviar Skin Clinic, we focus on enhancing what you already have. Our professional lip filler treatments in Vancouver are designed to deliver a refined, elegant pout — never an overdone look. We guide you through the entire process, including lip injections before and after, so you feel confident, informed, and excited about your results.
What Do I Need to Know Before Getting Lip Fillers?
No two lips are the same. Whether you’re looking to add subtle volume, improve symmetry, or enhance definition, our team tailors every treatment to your unique anatomy and goals.
Whether this is your first time or you’re experienced with lip fillers, here are a few important tips to prepare for your appointment:
Before Your Treatment
Avoid Alcohol
Refrain from alcohol for at least one week before your procedure. Alcohol increases the risk of swelling and bruising and can slow down healing.
Avoid Blood Thinners
Medications and supplements such as aspirin, ibuprofen, Advil, and fish oil may increase bruising. Avoid blood thinners for seven days prior to treatment unless otherwise directed by your physician.
Stay Hydrated
Hydration is essential. Lip fillers attract water to bond with the tissue, so drinking 7–8 glasses of water daily for the week leading up to your appointment helps support smoother healing and prevents dryness or cracking.
What to Expect After Getting Lip Fillers
Lip injections are a safe, non-invasive treatment, and proper aftercare plays a key role in achieving optimal results. Our licensed aestheticians ensure a precise, comfortable procedure and provide detailed aftercare guidance.
Aftercare Tips
Apply Ice
Icing the area helps reduce swelling and redness during the first 24 hours.
Avoid Exercise
Refrain from intense physical activity for 24 hours. Increased blood flow can worsen swelling and bruising.
Avoid Touching or Massaging
It’s tempting — but try not to touch, massage, or play with your lips immediately after treatment. Excess pressure can delay healing and increase bruising.
How Long Do Lip Fillers Last?
Lip filler treatments typically take 45–60 minutes, with immediate visible results and minimal discomfort. We use numbing techniques to ensure a comfortable experience.
The longevity of lip fillers varies from person to person. Factors include:
-
Amount of filler used
-
Injection technique
-
Metabolism and lifestyle (including exercise frequency)
On average, lip fillers last 4 to 6 months. Some clients may notice a shorter duration if they have a faster metabolism or engage in high levels of physical activity.
Our experts are always available to answer any questions and help you plan future maintenance treatments.
