How many ccs of fat do doctors usually inject for lip augmentation?

Unfortunately, you have not provided photographs and it is not possible to give you an answer on how many cc’s or if a lip lift would be indicated.  Lip lifts can create more of a gummy smile but can produce excellent results with hidden scars when indicated or performed properly.  Best Wishes,Gary Horndeski, M.D.

Thank you for sharing your excellent question.  A lip lift would exacerbate a gummy smile as it would increase tooth show at rest and with animation.  As for the amount of fat typically placed it is in the 2-4cc range, but depends on a patient’s goal results.  Hope this helps.

 I appreciate your concern and it is best to discuss specifics with your board-certified plastic surgeon with regard to this particular procedure. Usually 2 to 4 mL of fat is needed. I’ve never been a fan of lip lift surgery because of scarring and Lip Augmentation with fat or filler is a better choice for you. Good luck.
