Hey docs! I recently booked an appointment to get my lips injected with Juvederm. I've done a ton of research on this of course and I expected the cost to be at about $500-600. Is $900+ outrageous, or normal? This is my face we're talking about, so I don't mind spending extra, but please let me know if there is a chance that I'm just getting duped.

Answer: Cost of Juvederm Syringe Thank you for your question. There is definitely a geographic component to pricing. I would say that for an expert physician injector that you feel comfortable with in Manhattan, $900 is on the high-end, but probably reasonable. Prices in the Boston area are slightly lower, closer to $600-$700/syringe. As you alluded to in your question, probably the most important considerations are the skill, experience and training of the injector, as well as your confidence level in achieving the result that you desire. Best of luck!

Answer: How much is Juvederm for lips? Dear healthyishappy:The cost quoted to you is on the high end of the range for Manhattan. It is important that lip injections are performed by an advanced injector with many years of experience and an in-depth understanding of facial anatomy and aesthetics. Lip volume should be in proportion to other facial features for the best results, and many advanced injectors will consider your facial proportions, perhaps applying the phi ratio and looking at old prior photographs of your face to decide how to tailor the treatment to your expectations. If you trust your doctor and feel he or she understands what you are looking for and how best to achieve it, price should not be the determining factor. Having said that, you might wish to have a consultation with another highly-rated dermatologist or plastic surgeon who charges a little less for the sake of comparison.All the best,Dr. Clark
