Are half syringes of Restylane for lips available/common?

Question

I'd like to get my upper lip just a little more plumped up. Is it possible to get just half a syringe of Restylane? If so, what is the average cost?

James R. Gordon, MD, FACS, FAAO · Answer

Thank you for the question. There are small syringes for minimal treatments. If there is some left over, it can be used on other areas or to touch up the lips. Your plan to be conservative with the amount injected is excellent. Natural is best. Good luck.

Sheila S. Nazarian, MD · Answer

I do not offer half syringes.  And I do not store product for the patients.  There is a risk of product contamination once used and stored.  And besides, there is always somewhere that needs a little more volume.  Discuss with your plastic surgeon where he or she thinks that the rest should go.

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

I typically do as much as needed for my patients, I suggest you go to a physician who uses what is needed and charges only that.  We can save the syringe and use it for other areas or future touch ups.  Best, Dr. Emer.

there is only 1 ml syringes of Restylane available in the USA market. I believe they are not going to have the 2 ml syringes either.

Harold J. Kaplan, MD · Answer

Hi Serena.  Yes, .5 mL syringes of Restylane are available.  We no longer use them as we have a minimum of 1 CC required for any dermal filler injections.  In addition, .5 CC is quite a small amount for the lips and you would likely be underwhelmed by the effects.
