How soon after my first set of lip injections can I get another round?

In order to achieve natural fuller lips it’s actually not a bad approach to do it in stages 2-3 weeks apart. I usually recommend starting with 1cc wait a couple of weeks and then if needed place another 0.5 -1cc . The reason this works quite well is that sometimes if you try to put too much filler in one sitting because of the immediate swelling caused  and the restistence of the natural structures within the lips the pressure caused by injecting the filler can result in the filler tracking along the earliest path and ending up in unwanted places, leading to lumpiness or the dreaded ‘trout pout’ appearance. 

Hi there!
Thank you for your question. I would always recommend the less is more approach when it comes to filler treatments. It is best to get a small amount of filler to begin with and then you can always add more to achieve your desired results. I would recommend waiting 2 weeks before reviewing the need for more treatment.

1 syringe can improve the appearance of your lips, so it's best to do the 1 then assess your results at two weeks. If you still want more, you can always get another syringe. It's easier to do it this way than do too much at once.

Lip filler generally takes about 2 weeks for the product to settle and the swelling to subside.   If at 2 weeks you wish to have another syringe injected i would consult with your injector to see if it is recommended . 

I would recommend waiting about 2 weeks after your first treatment before considering additional filler. The following may be present after your first round of injections:1) Swelling 2) BruisingWaiting for 2 weeks will allow any residual swelling to subside, and give you a better idea of the final result of the treatment. I hope this information helps, and I wish you the best of luck. 

I always recommend starting with 1cc.  It is usually enough for almost any lip - and in many patients I will use less than the full 1cc and put the rest elsewhere.  If at 2 weeks you think you want more you can have some put in then.

Hello and thank you for your question.
Most dermal fillers are sold by the unit or syringe therefore each syringe of Juvederm (hopefully its Juvederm-Volbella since you mentioned you are wanting to do your lips) contains 1ML of product. With most patients, anywhere between 1 to 2 ML of Juvederm is more than enough for lip plumping as well as removing those vertical lines around the mouth. Now if you want more contour and definition I would recommend adding PDO Threads. PDO Threads in the lips can be used to redefine feathered lip borders, adding and refining contour in addition to adding volume. The addition of PDO Threads to Dermal Fillers often provide much longer-lasting results than dermal fillers alone, and creating a smoothing, more voluminous, natural look overall.

2 weeks is the optimal time to wait for swelling to subside .There is no extra risk except another round of the usual swelling and bruising.

Typically if any and all swelling and bruising is gone then you can inject more. This could take 1 week or up to 3 weeks, depending on patient.
