How many units or ml will my lips need to achieve that Kylie Jenner look? Fillers (Photo)

Thank you for your question. Thank you for the photos.  There are many things one looks for in nice lips, (overall shape, cupid's bow, fullness and enhancement, etc.).  This can be done with injectable fillers.  Our office likes the Hyaluronic Acid injectables for the lips, (Juvederm Ultra XC, Restylane-L, Vobella XC, Belotero, etc.). Each has pros and cons, and the procedure must be individualized to your lips.  This includes the amount and placement of the injectable.  Please don't over do it.  Please go to an experienced, well trained injector.  Price depends on the city, and who is injecting, (Physician, Nurse, PA, etc.).  Remember that cheap gets expensive fast.  Please call with any questions.Jeffrey J.

We get lots of requests for this! You will likely need to do 2 syringes BUT consider doing one, letting it settle in, then doing more. We can always add to the lips but we can't "suck it out". Another consideration is filler selection, especially if planning adding significant volume. The more "stiff" fillers can tend to "take over" the shape of the lip, making it look like a sausage...which is not the Kylie look. Softer options tend to maintain the natural lip shape, but just "bigger"- options include Restylane SILK, Belotero or the new Juvederm Volbella. Find an expert injector who uses microcannulas, this will minimize lip trauma.

It is difficult to predict how many mls of fillers you would need until one starts injecting the lips. It is not recommended more than 1 ml at any given time. It's better to wait until swelling subsides, then decide if more is needed.
