1 Cc Juvederm Normal Amount for Lips?

Tags: lips, swelling

I just had my first ever Juvederm injection yesterday in my upper lip. The nurse injected 1 full cc into the upper lip. Is this the recommended amount? I ask because my upper lip is very swollen, too big, and looks abnormal. I am hoping some of this is swelling, and I am trying to be patient. Please tell me what the normal cc amount is for the upper lip, and how much of this is actually swelling. When can I expect the "true" results to show? At this point, I wish I had never done this. I feel I look abnormal.

Quantity of lip juvederm injection

I typically inject 1cc of juvederm to cover both upper and lower lip, though some patients do ask for 2 cc/syringes to be injected. Certainly for a first time patient, I would always start with 1 syringe injected as you can always add more. I'd wait 2 weeks, and if things aren't much improved by then, then hyaluronidase can be injected to get rid of any excess swelling/filler. Make sure to have an experienced dermatologist or plastic surgeon for your future cosmetic treatments to reduce... more

Juvederm volume for lips

Swelling of the lip after Juvederm injection can be quite dramatic, but usually resolves fully by 2 weeks. I would not make any determination on the appearance of the lip until at least 1 week after your injection. 1 syringe of Juvederm is usually sufficient for the upper and lower lips. If at 2 weeks you still feel your upper lip has too much volume, hyaluronidase injections can be performed to dissolve some of the material. Good luck.
