Will one syringe of Juvederm or Restylane be enough?

Question

I am on a budget as I just had a Breast Augmentation done. I am now looking to get some Juvederm or Restylane done. I know a picture would help. I do not have deep lines. Only one small wrinkle and a VERY small, hardly noticeable wrinkle I want to get rid of by my mouth. This is due to weight loss. I also would like to plump my lips slightly. Would one syringe be enough? And which would last longer? I have my consultation Monday. Thanks!

Thank you for your question.  As you noted it is difficult to make recommendations without photographs but you should be able to obtain a nice improvement in your lips using approximately half a syringe for both lips if you are only interested in a mild plump while the other half can be used for your wrinkles.  Of course this could change with an in-person evaluation.  Hope this helps.

Generally beginning with one syringe of filler is a good amount for the lip area.  You should see an improvement with this amount.  I encourage you to wait for two weeks after the injection before evaluating your treatment as swelling is common.  If you find the result is not adequate, you can always return to add more product.

This will be best answered at your consultation. It depends both on you and the desired look you want. Also, keep in mind that some wrinkles will see best results of a combination of fillers, microneedling/prp and lasers. See an expert in fillers for the best result. Best, Dr. Emer

1 syringe of restylane or juvederm may very well be enough for you with 50-60% of it used for your lips and the remainder for the other wrinkles. After 2 weeks, you'll see the final result and can decide if perhaps you want/need another syringe.

It is difficult to make any comment without seeing a picture. The amount of filler required to achieve your desired result depends on the amount of volume loss and your goals and expectations. Natural results can be achieved with both Juvederm and Restylane but more than one syringe maybe necessary.  Please see an expert injector for in person consultation to discuss your expectations and goals. For most people, one syringe is an excellent place to start.  My philosophy is that you can always add more.
