Procedure Overview: A Video Showing the Treatment At Our Clinic
The lip volume enhancement procedure at Albany Cosmetic and Laser Centre begins with a consultation to understand your goals and assess your lip structure. During the lip injection, a fine needle or cannula is used to inject dermal fillers into targeted areas, enhancing volume and shape. The procedure is relatively quick and minimally invasive, with most sessions completed within 30 minutes. After the treatment, you can resume normal activities almost immediately, with minimal downtime.

Popular Lip Volume Trends and Styles
Recent trends in lip volume enhancement highlight a growing diversity of styles designed to meet individual preferences and aesthetic goals. Modern fillers provide the versatility to create anything from dramatic transformations to refined, natural enhancements, all while considering each client’s unique facial features.
Flat Lips
The Flat Lips approach focuses on enhancing the lips’ surface area without creating excessive volume or an overly rounded appearance. This method is ideal for those who prefer a subtle, refined enhancement that improves symmetry and hydration while maintaining a flatter overall look.
Cherry Lips
Originating from Korean beauty trends, the Cherry Lips technique emphasizes central lip volume to achieve a heart-shaped, youthful appearance. By adding fullness to the middle areas while keeping the corners relatively thin, it creates a playful and fresh aesthetic that many younger clients find appealing.
Keyhole Pout
The Keyhole Pout creates a slight gap between the upper and lower lips when slightly parted, giving a sultry and alluring effect. This look is achieved through strategic filler placement that emphasizes central volume while maintaining a natural-looking separation, perfect for those desiring a seductive and defined pout.
Pillow Lips
The Pillow Lips technique provides a plush, smooth look by enhancing volume evenly across the lips, resulting in a soft and elegant aesthetic. This approach aims to create a naturally full appearance with rounded, pillowy contours that enhance both upper and lower lips.
Cupid’s Bow Enhancement
Focusing on the double curve of the upper lip, the Cupid’s Bow Enhancement technique creates a well-defined and lifted appearance. By strategically injecting fillers along the peaks of the Cupid’s bow, this method highlights the natural lip contour and enhances overall symmetry.
Lip Tenting
Lip Tenting emphasizes structure by injecting fillers vertically along the lip border. This technique provides a more architectural and lifted appearance, enhancing the lips’ natural shape while offering better definition and volume without appearing overly inflated.
Hollywood Lips
The Hollywood Lips technique appeals to individuals seeking a dramatic, glamorous look by adding substantial volume to both the upper and lower lips. This bold approach creates an eye-catching, celebrity-inspired appearance that stands out.
Russian Lips
For those preferring elegance over volume, the Russian Lips technique offers a sophisticated, subtle enhancement that highlights natural curves and contours. It aims to refine the lips’ shape without compromising their inherent beauty, perfect for a chic and graceful look.
Heart Lips
Gaining popularity for its charming and romantic appeal, the Heart Lips technique focuses on enhancing the central part of the lips and defining the Cupid’s bow to create a distinct, heart-like shape. It offers a youthful and pouty appearance that many find irresistible.
These varied trends emphasize the importance of personalized consultations to achieve the desired lip volume and shape. With advanced techniques and modern fillers, clients can choose from a wide range of styles that perfectly match their aesthetic goals.

How Often Should You Get Lip Volume Enhancements?
The frequency of lip volume enhancement treatments depends on your desired results and the type of filler used. Generally, touch-ups are recommended every 6 to 12 months to maintain the desired appearance.
Potential Side Effects of Lip Volume Treatments
Common side effects include mild swelling, bruising, and redness. These effects are temporary and generally resolve within a few days. Serious complications are rare but will be discussed during your consultation to ensure you are well-informed.
Recommended Filler Amount Per Session
At Albany Cosmetic and Laser Centre, we prioritize achieving beautiful, balanced results through a gradual approach to lip volume enhancement. While your goal may be to achieve an elegant, significant volume, we highly recommend building up the desired fullness slowly. To ensure optimal results and minimize the risk of complications, we generally do not recommend using more than 2 cc of filler per session. This amount is typically sufficient to enhance both the upper and lower lips effectively while maintaining control over the final outcome. A 2 cc treatment costs approximately $1,100, and our experts will guide you through a personalized plan to reach your aesthetic goals safely and beautifully over time.
