Dermal Fillers in CalgaryLip & CheekEnhancement

Restore volume and enhance lips, cheeks, and facial contours.

Treatment Overview

What Are Dermal Fillers?

Dermal fillers are injectable treatments that restore lost volume, smooth deep lines, and enhance facial contours using hyaluronic acid (a substance naturally found in the body). At YYC Medical Aesthetics, every filler treatment is precisely mapped to your facial anatomy and aesthetic goals, whether you're looking to subtly enhance your lips, restore cheek volume, or sharpen your jawline.

Results are immediate and natural-looking, with no surgery or significant downtime. Hyaluronic acid fillers are also fully reversible, giving you complete peace of mind throughout your treatment.

Your Experience

What to Expect

A precise, comfortable appointment with results you'll see the moment you leave.

01

Consultation & Facial Mapping

Your appointment begins with a thorough consultation and detailed facial mapping to identify the areas that will best respond to treatment. We discuss your goals, assess your facial anatomy, and design a placement plan tailored to your natural features.

02

Cleanse & Topical Numbing

Treatment areas are thoroughly cleansed and a topical numbing cream is applied for 15–20 minutes to ensure your comfort throughout the injections. Most fillers also contain lidocaine to further minimize any discomfort.

03

Precise Injection Treatment

Filler is injected using fine-gauge needles or a blunt-tip cannula depending on the treatment area, with careful attention to symmetry, depth, and natural movement. The injection process typically takes 20–30 minutes.

04

Review & Aftercare Instructions

Results are reviewed together immediately after treatment. You'll receive detailed aftercare instructions, including avoiding strenuous activity, heat, and pressure on treated areas for the first 24–48 hours. Mild swelling or bruising typically resolves within a few days.

Months results typically last

Results from dermal fillers are visible immediately and continue to improve over the following 2–4 weeks as any initial swelling subsides and the product settles. Depending on the area treated and your metabolism, results typically last 12–18 months. Lips tend to metabolize filler slightly faster than deeper structural areas like cheeks or jawline. Regular maintenance appointments help sustain your results beautifully over time.

FAQ

Dermal Filler Questions Answered

Most hyaluronic acid fillers last 12–18 months, depending on the area treated, the product used, and how your body metabolizes it. Lips tend to break down filler slightly faster, while cheeks and jawline tend to hold results longer. Regular top-ups help maintain your look over time.
Most clients describe the treatment as mildly uncomfortable rather than painful. Topical numbing cream is applied beforehand, and most fillers contain lidocaine (a local anaesthetic) to further minimize discomfort during injection. Sensitive areas like the lips may be slightly more tender.
Filler pricing is based on the amount of product used and the areas treated. We provide personalized pricing during your consultation so you know exactly what to expect. Investing in quality product and injector expertise is essential for safe, natural-looking results.
Yes. Hyaluronic acid fillers can be dissolved at any time using an enzyme called hyaluronidase. This makes them a fully reversible treatment, one of the reasons they are the gold standard in injectable aesthetics. Results from dissolving are typically seen within 24–48 hours.
Lip fillers add volume, definition, and shape to the lips using a softer, more pliable product designed for movement. Cheek fillers use a firmer product to restore or enhance cheekbone structure and midface volume. Both are hyaluronic acid-based but are formulated differently for their respective treatment areas.
Yes, combining Botox and fillers in the same visit is very common. Botox addresses dynamic expression lines while fillers restore volume and structure — together they deliver a more complete, natural result than either treatment alone.
