Male ips: 0.5 or 1 syringe? Juvederm Ultra or Ultra Plus? (Photos)

Question

23 yo male with already big lips. The issue is that my top life is just as big, if not bigger than my bottom lip. I think that adding some filler to the center of the bottom lip would look great. How much do you think I would need , in terms of cc? Also would I want to use ultra or ultra plus. I understand the plus is thicker. Let me know your thoughts

Camille Cash, MD · Answer

Your photo doesn't indicate that you need any additional filler as you already have full lips.  If you are wanting a subtle enhancement you could use 0.5ml so it does not look overdone.  You can always return for more if it doesn't give you enough effect.  To keep lips feeling natural you should consider Juvederm Ultra as the Ultra Plus may feel too firm.

Dear Warmhearted62235,
I typically use Juvederm for my lip sculpting. There are two main focuses of lip injections, adding volume and actually sculpting the shape. Both involve injecting the filler in different areas of the lips and patterns.
I would recommend finding a plastic surgeon to perform you lip injections. Most of my patients have results that last at least 6 months.

Hi, thank you for your question! I would recommend using Juvederm Ultra XC if you are looking for a central focus for your bottom lip. I would choose the Ultra XC to avoid getting lumps or bumps focusing on just one area. In terms of the amount of cc's for the bottom lip I would recommend doing about .5cc which would be a half of a syringe.
