I have very thin lips naturally (especially the top lip). There is a local Groupon for one syringe for $468. I’m considering getting that but I’ve had a few friends tell me that I would need two syringes to get good results. My top lip is pretty much non existent. Do you think one syringe would suffice? I’d like them full and would like it to be noticeable. Also do you think the juvederm would be a better option rather than a lip lift via Botox?

Answer: Lip injections The wonderful thing about fillers is that you can go slowly to get the look you want. One syringe is a good amount to use for the first time. Please know that bruising and swelling are common and can take up to two weeks to resolve. If after that time you feel you would like more product, return to your injector for a touch up. For added volume fillers are preferable to a Botox lip lift.

Answer: Lip augmentation Dear Gentle4103, 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. You can try with one syringe and see the results you will get. You can add additional filler later if you are not satisfied with the results you get after one syringe. I would recommend finding a plastic surgeon to perform you lip injections. Most of my patients have results that last at least 6 months.
