How much filler will I need
Full lips is a subjective thing and how much filler you will require is difficult to gauge as patient expectations are different

Perlane is too thick of a filler for Lip Augmentation and is meant to be placed in the fat tissue layers of which the lips have none. Restylane and Juvederm are more appropriate for lip augmentation, IMO. Be sure the MD understands and follows the proper aesthetics of facial (and lip) beauty.

"Half a Syringe" Lip Augmentation
Without an examination much less a photograph it is hard to begin to predict if half a syringe (presumably .5cc) will make a difference you or others may find noticeable.
I have 2 other comments about your question; First, choosing Perlane as a lip filler is not a great choice. Restylane or Juvederm are much better choices. Second, as expensive as fillers injected properly may be, dong the job incompletely (ie "stretching it") or worse, doing it poorly, is truly a waste...

Perlane for Lip Augmentation
Perlane is not the filler of choice in this area for most physicians. Restylane or Juvederm are what most physicians prefer in this area. The difference being that Perlane or Juvederm Ultra plus are thicker and not generally an advantage in this area. Whether a filler will help depends upon what your lips look like, what you want to acheive and the physician performing the injection. My main suggestion is to go to a physician experienced in filler injections.

Lip Augmentation
It's hard to say without seeing what your lips look like and what you are trying to achieve. Generally Perlane is not the first choice filler for the lips, but you should consult with your board certified surgeon to decide what might be the best option for you.

For most people, 1/2 cc of Restylane provides excellent lip fill.
Perlane is not really a good filler for the lips. A very good injector can probably get a way with this product. However, Perlane is very thick and can easily form lumps along the lip edge. Restylane flows better and is less likely to form a lump. Juvederm is even more forgiving. However some argue that Juvederm is too forgiving and tends to spread. Volume wise, this will make a very nice difference if it is properly injected.

Perlane in Lips
Thank you for your question. A half of a syringe will give you subtle, natural results. However you may want to make an appointment in 6 months to re-evaluate and possibly have some more injected if you need more volume. I would speak with your injector and ask which kind of filler he/she recommends. Best of luck to you!

Perlane is not for lips
I recommend against using Perlane for lip injections. Juvederm is my first choice for lip augmentation. Juvederm is a softer gel which makes it more ideal for lips. Juvederm comes in "full" sized and "half" sized syringes so you can get exactly the amount of correction you want. You need to discuss your treatment goals with your physician injector so you will be happy with the result. Because this is an art as much as it is a science, it is especially important to...
