Can 0.25 be filled for lip injections? How much would the price be for that amount?

Question

Hello I am wondering if very small amount of fillers are possible to have for lip injections. 0.25 for just the top lip is what I have in mind. Is that possible? What would the price overall be as opposed to a whole syringe?

Restylane comes in a 0.5-cc syringe and a 1-cc syringe. Few providers use and even stock the 0.5-cc syringe. The cost for treatment with 0.5-cc is around $350-$400.  0.25-cc is an EXTREMELY small amount to be used, unless there are only fine lines to fill. Most patients will use 0.5-cc for the lip.drbader

Some HA fillers can be obtained in 0.5 cc syringes but the costs is slightly higher per 0.1 cc of the filler in that smaller volume. Fee for Restylane 0.5 cc syringe is $350. BTW a new app is coming where you pay $10 to be referred to a doctor at a fee you chose fir any cosmetic medical/surgical procedure. Once the breakeven costs are met. For example in this case: 0.5 cc Restylane cost is $200 the patient pays $10 sign up per each different procedure and choses a fee they desire to pay. So lets say the patient posts $250. Than signed provider doctors have an opportunity to counter or accept that fee. A win win for everyone.

Hi, yes you can have less than a full syringe of a dermal filler to augment the lips but you have to pay for the full 1 cc.  There's no way and many health and medical policies against sharing material.  So if an office gave you 0.25 cc's, what would they do with the unused 0.75cc's of dermal filler?  Hope this helps.
