My lips aren't as big as I had expected after Juvederm Volbella. Should I opt for half a syringe more? (photos)

Question

I received juvederm volbella a few days ago, I had 1 syringe injected i was little nervous about this since I only wanted half but the doctor said I have full lips I should do the full, so I did. I was concerned when they became inflamed and were incredibly big but I knew swelling as normal. its been 1 and a half days and the swelling has subsided a lot. Now looking at my lips they aren't what I expected, I feel like they should be bigger. I feel like maybe I need more in the bottom lip

Volbella is a subtle, soft, gentle filler. The amount of filler depends on many things and I would recommend that you see your doctor again and review your concerns.

Douglas Wu, MD · Answer

Please give yourself another week or two to let the swelling subside after your treatment before deciding whether you are happy with your lips or not. With the hyaluronic-acid fillers, its best to start conservatively, as you did, because it's actually quite easy to add more until you get what you want. Please consult a board-certified dermatologist who specializes in lip augmentation if you do decide to add more.

Jerome Edelstein, MD · Answer

I suggest you wait for two weeks after your treatment, then return to your injector and get more if you're still unhappy with your results.

Edwin C. Pound, III, MD · Answer

Only you know how you want your lips to look.  If it has only been one and a half days then you probably still have some swelling which will go down making your lips appear smaller.  My suggestion would be to contact your doctor and discuss your concerns with him/her.

Dmitriy Schwarzburg, MD · Answer

You may need more fillers. The administration of fillers is a highly technical procedure. There are so many factors to consider to determine the best filler to use, the right amount, etc. Please contact a qualified provider or a board-certified physician with extensive experience in these procedures.
