How much lip filler will I need to get the results I want?

Thank you for your question.It would have been very helpful to have a photo provided.
Everyone's lips are very different and some people are happy with just 0.5 ml and others may need 6 ml- but over time.I always ask my new patents to show mw what they would like to achieve, then we discuss, safety and design a treatment plan to get there. Fuller lips always need more to see any difference and depending on how full, I even suggested injecting 1.5 to 2.0 ml in one visit. It all varies from patient to patient. Hope this helps you a bit.Have a beautiful day, Dr.Anna Avaliani, NYC

The amount of filler needed depends on the final desired outcome you want as well as your starting point. This is difficult to decipher without seeing photos. However, it is important to note that slow and steady building is best. Placing filler too quickly back-to-back can render complications such as filler migration.

Hi @Intellectual887537. I personally would not inject more than 1 syringe in the lips per session to avoid filler migration. If you are still wanting more, I recommend waiting a month before going back for additional lip filler.

Best of luck,

Different products can achieve different results. Your injectors technique has a lot to do with the result too. Speak to your injector, and ask if its safe to apply more filler.

Hello Intellectual887537! My name is Jessica, I am a physician assistant, and one of the providers at Shah Facial Plastics. I am sorry to hear that you're unhappy with your results! Generally, I do not administer more than 1 mL of lip filler per treatment for all my patients. It is important to gradually build the lips and add volume in order to achieve the best aesthetic outcome. If you are still unhappy with your results, do not worry, you are able to fill them in gradually and build the shape you want. I hope this helps!
