How Many MLs Would I Need Around the Laugh Lines and Lips. I'm 42 Yrs Old, Not to Bad in Wrinkle Department Yet?

It is very difficult to answer your question without seeing you in person and examining you, however, making an appointment with a well-trained and experienced injector (like we have at the Naficy Rejuvenation Center) is the first step toward settling down those lines.

The amount of filler needed is very individual depending on the severity of the wrinkles. Average is one to two syringes. You really need a consultation to truly know how much you will need.

It is impossible to say without seeing photos or meeting you. Based on your description you'll probably require somewhere two syringes of hyaluronic acid based dermal filler such as Juvederm. I hope this information is helpful.Stephen Weber MD, FACS

Without a photo, it is difficult to determine how much filler you would require.  Fillers such as Juvederm or Restylane are typically used for the lips and most individuals start with a 1 ml syringe.  Laugh lines may require 1 to 2 ml.

As many physicians have previously mentioned, it is impossible to give you an amount of syringes needed without a photograph.  On average, two syringes of Juvederm is a good start.  Even though you are young, everyone's needs are different despite their age; it has more to do with the amount of volume loss and degree of correction needed.  I encourage to you to schedule a consultation and discuss your goals with your provider.  They can give you a correct estimate of syringes needed at that time.
