I just had my first ever Juvederm injection yesterday in my upper lip. The nurse injected 1 full cc into the upper lip. Is this the recommended amount? I ask because my upper lip is very swollen, too big, and looks abnormal. I am hoping some of this is swelling, and I am trying to be patient. Please tell me what the normal cc amount is for the upper lip, and how much of this is actually swelling. When can I expect the "true" results to show? At this point, I wish I had never done this. I feel I look abnormal.

Answer: The amount of Juvederm used for the lips depends on the size and shape of your natural lips The amount of Juvederm used for the lips depends on the size and shape of your natural lips and the amount of enhancement you would like. The swelling can last for a week or so and although your lips may feel too large now, they will be smaller.

Answer: Amount Needed for Juvederm Lip Injection On average, I usually use one syringe of Juvederm for BOTH the upper and lower lip (1/2 for upper and 1/2 for lower). With this said, the amount used really is based on the size of your natural lips and what your goals are. I have used 1/2 syringe total on some patients and have used two syringe total for other. Another thing to note is that normally the lower lip should always be a little bigger than the upper lip and not the reverse. Lastly, there is usually some degree of swelling after lip filler injection so I would give yourself up to two weeks for the swelling to subside before you can determine what they will really look like, and if you need to make any adjustments.

Answer: Juvederm for Lip Enhancement The concept in lip enhancement in 2014 is to make the lips look natural as we make them more enhanced by adding fillers into lips themselves and into the vermillion on the edges. This can best be accomplished by a board-certified dermatologist or plastic surgeon who understand the lip anatomy and have the needed training to be able to make sure that things are done correctly. One cc of product into the upper lip may be a little too much for some, but fine for others. I usually recommend that we inject smaller amounts into the lips to start with as we can always add more over time if more is needed. Juvederm will have some associated swelling with it, and this can make the lips look even bigger – and the more you put in, the more swollen the lips can get. I would ice the area for the next couple of days and then I would return to the injector if it does not look normal or natural by the end of the first week.
