Juvederm Dosage for Lips?

Hi Debbie Duck,
From your name it sounds as if you received an over dosage of Juvederm in your lips, resulted in those dreaded duck lips.
There is no standard "dose" of Juvederm, it depends upon the size of the patients lips to start with and their goal.
I prefer to go conservative, especially the first time. I try to limit my lip injections to no more that 0.4cc per lip with Juvederm. Most of the time less than a full syringe of Juvederm is used in the lips. Patients are then seen in follow up two weeks later at which time additional filler may be injected.
The upper lip should be about 70% the size of the larger lower lip to "keep it real".Good luck and be well. Say hello to Daffy for me.

It's important to be very conservative with lip fillers, as we can always go back and inject more should it be required.
In general, I usually start with 1 syringe of Juvederm divided between the upper and lower lip in a way to maintain the natural proportions of the lips.
Most of the time, that is all that is required, but occasionally, a patient will return in a week or so because they want a bit more fullness, which is easy to achieve.
Good luck!

Since you can add Juvederm onto existing treated areas without a significant waiting period,  I prefer to start with a single vial of Juvederm.  Each person has a different response as to the amount of fluid that the Juvederm molecule will absorb.  I see my patients back in 2 weeks to determine the response.  If the patient wants more, an additional vial can be added then.  With filler, truly less can be more.  You want a natural look, not Goldie Hawn in 'First Wives Club" !
