My doctor advised me it is better to put 1/2 ml fillers in stead of 1 in my lips. I haven’t had any fillers before, so I am wondering will there be any noticeable difference at all? I cannot go every week to make it again and wait for the bruising to go away so I prefer to do it at one go. Thanks ;)

Answer: Lip augmentation Dear dessy234,I typically use Juvederm for my lip sculpting. There are two main focuses of lip injections, adding volume and actually sculpting the shape. Both involve injecting the filler in different areas of the lips and patterns. The amount of filler depends on the size and shape of your lips as well as from your goals. I would recommend finding a plastic surgeon to perform you lip injections. Most of my patients have results that last at least 6 months.Daniel Barrett, MD Certified, American Board of Plastic Surgery Member, American Society of Plastic Surgery Member, American Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery

Answer: My personal feeling is that you are likely to be disappointed with only one half cc of Juvaderm for lip augmentation. Thank you for your question! My personal feeling is that you are likely to be disappointed with only one half cc of Juvaderm for lip augmentation. You may not need a full syringe, but I'd rather waste a little and use 0.75 mL or 0.8 mL then have you disappointed. It's rare that I find a patient who requires upper and lower lip augmentation who can't benefit from nearly one full cc. Best of luck!
