I have had my lips filled on Wednesday, has been 5 days since and I can't really notice much of a difference now the swelling has gone down. The nurse put a 0.5 syringe in (that's 0.5 for both lips) and now I'm wondering if I should have had more? I paid £150 thinking I was getting a good deal, as others pay £250 plus but turns out others have had a 1cc syringe.
Answer: Restylane - Do I Need More In My Lips? Thank you for your question. I'm sorry you are unhappy with your results. In general, a 0.5 ml syringe split between the upper and lower lip is usually not enough volume to produce a significant change. Although pictures would help in providing specific advice, a minimum of 1 ml is usually needed. Patients often require 2 ml to achieve their desired outcome. Please see a board certified plastic surgeon who commonly performs these injections. Hope this helps.

Answer: Restylane for lips Restylane can be a great product to plump and shape the lips. The amount of volume needed depends on the desired end results. Usually 0.5 cc would be a small amount and not make a substantive difference if spread so thinly. If more volume is desired, more can be added. In general, 1-2 cc's are necessary for most patients.

Answer: 1cc In my practice we tend to use a full syringe per patient and do not split syringes. If the patient is happy with the results of .5 a syringe then fabulous! We keep the other half for when they want to be injected again. In most cases we see that patients want at least 1 full syringe (1cc). If you feel your lips are not full enough, I would go ahead and schedule to have another injection done to get the look you are wanting. I wish you the best of luck and hope your injections turn out great!

Answer: Restylane is a good filler to help add volume and shape to the lips. Thank you for your question. Restylane is a good filler to help add volume and shape to the lips. However, the amount of volume needed will depend on your desired result. Typically, 0.5cc for both lips is a small amount any may not make that much of difference. You can always have more filler injected if you desire more volume. Usually, most patients require 1-2 syringes to achieve their desired results. I recommend having a follow up to discuss your concerns with your injector. Best of Luck!
