This all depends on the lip itself. This may take 0.1cc to a full syringe. I think you need to post photos or do see a facial contouring expert for an evaluation. Best, Dr. Emer.
Upper lips usually take 1 cc which is 1 syringe which does great and lasts about 6 months for restylane, belotero, juvaderm.
one 1 cc syringe is enough. Most important factor is experience and aesthetic judgement and knowledge and taste of the injector and not the filler!
In my practice, I rarely inject more than 1 syringe (1 ml) into the lips. Having said that, the amount required for each individual varies significantly. It would be best to do a consultation with an expert and decide from there. I've included a web page for reference. Good luck.
If you only want to establish a "new lipstick line" and improve the philtral columns and cupids bow, typically less than one syringe of hyaluronic acid is needed - for example Restylane or Juvederm. Most fillers come in 1 ml syringes, and the average for these areas in our practice is about 0.6 ml. The remainder of the filler can be used to augment the lips or fill lines and creases around the mouth. You can use more, but often this leads to a more "stylized" and less natural appearance.

Most people have facial assymetry. Treatment depends on the underlying cause for the assymetry. If your lip is crooked at rest than it might be the soft tissue or the underlying facial skeleton. If it is assymetric with movement, it could be the muscle.Some treatments include...
I typically dont have patients remove the piercing but am very specific on how to inject and where to inject so not to disturb the area around the piercing. Sometimes I put patients on antibiotic for a few days just preventatively. Best, Dr. Emer.
I am sorry, but your photo did not appear. In either case, physical exam is needed, but I am certain that fillers would be helpful with your situation. Seek out a board certified plastic surgeon.
It's hard to tell the true relationship of your philtrum to your overall facial proportions from the photo alone. One thing to think about may be to plump the upper lip a bit and see if that improves your overall lip and facial balance. Hope this is helpful.
