I want to get filler in both my nose and lips. Can I use the same syringe to do so? Since I only need a small amount for each

Question

Ryan E. Austin, MD · Answer

Hi, thanks for your question. In theory, yes you can use the same syringe for different treatment areas, however in your case, where you're looking to treat the lips and nose, you would typically not have the same type of filler injected in your lips as you would in the nose. Also, you will most likely need more than one syringe, the lips themselves would probably require one syringe alone. I highly recommend that you book a consultation with your provider in order to discuss your options and the amounts that will be appropriate for optimal results in both areas.

Hello,
Thank you for the question. 
Liquid rhinoplasty typically requires only small amount of filler to be added, however, for lip augmentation, usually a full syringe is used for to add volume to both upper and lower lip. 
I would seek an in-person evaluation by the plastic surgeon, in order to discuss your goals and concerns for the best cosmetic results. 
I hope this helps.Best regards, Dr. Karanetz

Thank you for your question. While it is safe to use the same needle in more than one area of the face, I would be surprised if a single syringe would be sufficient to produce satisfying results in both places. The other consideration is to ensure the filler used works equally well in the lips as it does the nose. I encourage you to schedule an assessment with an experienced, board-certified injector who can examine you in person and determine the best treatment plan for you.

Yes,  the same syringe can be used on the same patient to treat different areas.  Your injector will help you decide how much product is appropriate to get you the results you want.

Dear elenaxxa,
generally speaking, it is safe to use the same needle on multiple areas of the face. If you are considering a treatment, I would suggest you to consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination you will get more information and recommendations.
