Is One Syringe of Juvederm Enough for Top and Bottom Lip? (photo)

Question

I would like to know if one syringe would make a significant change in both my top and bottom lip. I am looking for a pouty, bubble lip look not like a duck look but something plump and more natural at the same time.

Harold J. Kaplan, MD · Answer

Hi Sap. Any more than 1 syringe would be way too much. In fact you have excellent shape and volume to your lips already. Be careful about goign too large or you will end up with a duck like appearance.

Depending
on the present volume of your lips, one syringe of Juvederm Ultra Plus XC should be enough to give you the result you are looking for. It is always
better to use a little less product at the beginning and add more later if
needed rather than having an overdone look that you are unhappy with.

Donald B. Yoo, MD, FACS · Answer

You have great lip volume, and one syringe of Juvederm could definitely give you a significant change in both your top and bottom lip.

Stephen Prendiville, MD · Answer

It is a very rare circumstance that patients in my practice population require or desire more than one syringe of Juvederm (or Restylane) in the lips. Based on the photo shown, more than 1 syringe would make you look stigmatic and overdone.

Sam Naficy, MD, FACS · Answer

Generally 1 syringe of Juvederm Ultra Plus is usually plenty for the upper and lower lips. It may take even less in your case since you already have full lips. Go slowly and wait a week or so for swelling to settle before you evaluate your final results. Subtle is always better than over done!

Kenneth Hughes, MD · Answer

I typically only inject 1 syringe of Juvederm to the lips at once to assess patient response in this area.  I do believe that Juvederm is better than many fillers for the lips.

Edward E. Dickerson, IV, MD · Answer

At my practice, it is usually recommended to start with one syringe and see how you feel about the results of this treatment. If, after about 2 weeks, you feel you need more filler, you can always go in for more. It is always best to start with a little and add more later, if desired. It's a simple injection to add more, but once the product has been placed, it takes an injection of a different chemical to reverse it. Check your area for doctors whose clinics may offer specials, or check the manufacturer of the product you are interested in as they sometimes offer coupons and rebates that would make multiple visits more affordable. “Dr. D”

You have excellent native lip volumes. Full lips are a pleasure to inject!

	 

	One syringe, splint between your upper and lower lips, will make a moderate increase in size, and probably be just right unless you want an exaggerated look.

Benjamin Barankin, MD, FRCPC · Answer

Juvederm is a terrific, soft hyaluronic acid filler for the lips. Your lips have great bulk and symmetry to begin with, but they can be enhanced further. 1 syringe is a great starting point, and you can always add more, but I would say this is enough for 90% of my patients.

Michael Law, MD · Answer

Start with one syringe. if you like the way it looks that's enogh. Sometimes mild swelling can be present that may subside. If after a week or so you'd like a more go back to your plastic surgeon's office. Don't let anyone talk you into more than you are comfortable with
