How many syringes of juvederm will I need for my naturally thin lips? (photos)

In my opinion, I always like to start with a bit of filler and then you can always add more, if needed.  Especially for the lips, I like to use a single syringe and you can add another in the future, if you feel like you need another.  The lips swell a good amount after injections and 2 syringes at once can lead to a lot of swelling.  Also, filler is definitely a better option for providing lip augmentation, fullness and pout vs. the Botox "lip flip".

Hi there!
Thank you for your question. I always start with 0.5ml in the lips-particularly for new patients. It is a much safer approach to add filler bit by bit and it also means we can achieve natural looking results. Furthermore, 0.5ml-1ml of filler can actually add significant volume to the lips. Lip filler would be your best option to achieve fullness rather than a lip flip treatment. I would also stress that it’s really important to do your research in order to choose an experienced and highly trained practitioner that you have confidence in rather than jump into discount deals.
Hope this helps!
Best Wishes,

Thank you for your question.  If you would like your lips to look fuller I would suggest 2 syringes of Juvederm.  I recommend scheduling an appointment with an experienced doctor to achieve your desired look.  All the best

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.

Thank you for your question and your pictures.
It will likely take more than one syringe of filler to enhance your upper lip. 
I often suggest gradually adding filler to a thin lip over more than one session.  This gradual approach allows the tissue to adjust and the end result is a more natural looking, full lip. 
Good luck!

Every patient is different and will require varying amounts of product to achieve their desired outcomes. I always recommend starting with one syringe. If you were pleased with your outcome but desire more volume you can always add more usually any time after 2 weeks from last injection. A slow approach to building volume can provide natural and beautiful results. I recommend seeing a experienced injection expert, medically certified by the State you seek treatment in, who preforms regular lip augmentation using HA fillers.

Hello and thank you for your question and photo.  It really depends on how full you want your lips to be, however, I recommend starting with one so it won't be so drastic .  One syringe is most typical for lip injections , if you need more , you can go back and buy another syringe.  Make sure your injector has experience with fillers before you get treated, if it's a bit cheaper or not.  Good luck!

Thank you for your question! A syringe of filler is only 1mL. How many syringes you require depends on your goals. For the lips I recommend 1 syringe at a time because lips can swell for a few days post treatment. After 2 weeks we can add an additional syringe if you desire more volume. We can always add more gradually to get you to your goal. Botox may help with vertical lip lines but not replace or enhance volume. Make sure you see a licensed professional for your treatment.

Juvederm is a dermal filler and will give more volume. Botox works on muscles and does not add any volume. We generally start with 1cc or less for a first time injection. More filler can be added at a later time. I would also choose your "injector" based upon experience and not based upon price. An experienced injector can often do more with less product. In addition, placing dermal fillers is considered a surgical procedure and needs to be done in a careful sterile manner in a proper environment to help prevent infections and other potential complications.

Hey there thanks for the question! The short answer is that you may well need two ml of filler, but start low and add to it. Get 1ml initially then let it settle then consider another ml after that only if needed, this would give you a far more natural looking result.
