What can I do to avoid the impulse of having a large amount of filler injected at once?

Often times patients are able to achieve the look they are wanting, or very close to it, with one treatment session. If you are wanting a more voluminous look it may be best to go slow. There is no way to take away your impulse but you need to consider if you are wanting a great result. If you are you need to trust those that know how to help you achieve it and listen to their advice.

It's understandable to feel eager to achieve your desired results quickly, especially after waiting a long time for lip fillers. However, taking a gradual approach with fillers is a prudent strategy for several reasons:

Safety: Injecting a large amount of filler at once increases the risk of complications such as lumps, bumps, or even more serious issues like vascular occlusion. By starting with a smaller amount, your provider can better monitor how your body reacts and make adjustments as needed.

Natural Results: Gradually building up the filler allows for more natural-looking results. Your lips will have time to adjust to the change, and you can see how the filler settles over time, which helps in achieving a balanced and harmonious appearance.

Customization: Going slow gives you and your provider the opportunity to customize the treatment to your exact preferences. You can assess the results after each session and make informed decisions about any additional filler needed to achieve your desired look.

Adjustment: Sometimes, the initial amount of filler can change the way you perceive your desired outcome. By starting small, you have the flexibility to adjust your goals based on how you feel about the initial results.

Remember, patience is key to achieving the best and safest results. Discuss your concerns and goals with your provider at your upcoming appointment, and they can help reassure you and guide you through the process.
