Hi:) I have an appointment for a lip filler (my first time) and I wanted to know if 0.5 ml is enough for me, i just want to contour them a little and to add some volume to the upper lip (i don’t like that in the profile view it is so “sharp” up there) and to add volume too to the other one if needed for symmetry? In the last picture my lips are contoured and with lipstick, kinda the look I want to achieve but without overlining them like crazy. Thanks!!!

Answer: 0.5 ml does nothing to lips; Minimal is 1 ml You really need 1 ml or cc to make any kind of a noticeable change or improvement to the lip.

Answer: Full Lips -- Careful not to get distorted Hi -- nice question -- sure 0.5ml in the hands of an expert should make a subtle enhancement. As pointed out in this forum repeatedly, you have very full aesthetically pleasing lips naturally. I doubt 0.5ml will make much difference (and besides Im not convinced you need any lip filler). Please be careful not to end up with an unnatural, distorted appearance. For facial fillers, please have an in-person consultation with only a board-certified, fellowship trained MD with extensive facial plastic surgical experience. Avoid nurses, non-MDs, "deals" and "specials" and you should reduce the chance for any problems or complications. Good luck! Damon B. Chandler, MD Harvard-Penn Trained Oculofacial Plastic Surgeon
