Thank you for sharing your question and photograph.  With a little over a half cc you should achieve a nice improvement in your upper lip size.  Hope this helps.

Based on the photo, it looks like 0.6 of Juvederm should be enough for your top lip. It is always best to start with a small amount - you can always add more!
Good luck from California!

Hi Karen!
Individuals' results will vary depending on the desired outcome. If you want a little volume added, 0.6 ml will help improve shape on a smaller scale and give a stable but improved result. Additionally, it is  great to fix slight asymmetry. 
It is always best to receive a formal assessment by a board certified Dermatologist who specializes and is trained in dermal injections.

0.6-1cc of Juvederm should be enough to augment your upper lip.  A smaller amount is always preferable as more can be added but removing or taking it away is challenging at best.  But based on your relatively full baseline lip volume you should expect that a 1/2 syringe or 60% of a syringe will get the job done rather effectively.
