I went to a plastic surgeon to get a filler in my lips and smile lines. Due to miscommunication on my part he gave me a syringe on each side instead of half on each side and one for my lips. I was wondering since I got 2 syringes will it last longer? Normally, I only get one.

Conversely, if you have more injected as it metabolizes you will still have enough material to still show improvement over your baseline.

Full Correction And Proper Timing Of Re-Treatment Is The Key To Long-Lasting Results With Hyaluronic Acid Fillers

Providing full correction of volume loss is the key to a successful, long-lasting soft tissue filler result. To provide full correction of the nasolabial folds (NLFs) the average patient requires one or more syringes (>1cc) of hyaluronic acid filler for each NLF.

It is likely that you will be happier with the treatment for a longer period of time.

These services are expensive. As a result doctors and patients generally do not use enough filler for a particular situation. Having an additional milliliter of filler is likely to be very helpful and yes this will directly contribute to you being happy with the treatment for a longer period of time.
