How many cc of lip filler for desired result? (photo)

Question

About how much filler would I need to acheive this result? & how much can I safely have injected per session to gradually work up to this result?

Nima Shemirani, MD · Answer

Hi @NinaDixon! I would recommend at least 3 syringes for the desired lips shown above. I would recommend 1 syringe per session 4 weeks apart to prevent overfilling. Restylane Kysse and Defyne work great!

Thank you for your question.  I would suggest starting with 1 ml of Juvederm and letting it settle and reviewing after two weeks.  If you want more volume then this can be added.  All The Best

David Hansen, MD · Answer

I suspect it will take 3 syringes of filler to make your lips look that volumptous. I would do 1 1/2 to 2 syringes 1st and then 1 syringe about a week later.  I do them under nerve blocks so they don't hurt .

Thank you for sharing your excellent question.  You would require between 2 and 3 syringes to achieve similar results.  I would recommend staging the injections 2-3 weeks apart to allow for resolution of swelling and any bruising before pursuing more.  Hope this helps.

Most doctors will start with one-syringe to avoid overfilling. These fillers, (Volbella, Restylane, Juvederm) are good to create a symmetrical and full lip. PDO NovaThreads can also be used to improve shape and also provide lift. Fat or implants are a permanent alternative. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with a facial sculpting expert.

Dear NinaDixon,
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.
I would recommend finding a plastic surgeon to perform you lip injections.Most of my patients have results that last at least 6 months.

I usually recommend starting with 1 (1 mL) syringe of an HA filler during the first session and then adding more at 2 week follow up appointments until you achieve the look you want. I expect you will need 2-3 syringes to get the volume you are looking for.

Thank you for your photos. I would estimate that you need at least 2cc, possibly 3cc to achieve that look. If this is your first time. You can start with 1cc and decide if you want more. You can always add more as you go. Hope this helps!Johnson C. Lee, MD

one ml of filler to upper lip and one for lower lip would give significant augmentation. However, I might suggest having 2 sessions 2 weeks apart. Let the physician or nurse inject to an aesthetic appearance- even if less full than you want. Let swelling go down and reassess in 2 weeks. If you put in too much at once, it can not be easily corrected- all of it would have to be reversed and then start from scratch. It is cheaper and more aesthetically pleasing to do it in steps. Then it would require intermittent smaller treatments to maintain.
Good luck
