How Many cc’s of Volbella would I need for upper lip lines? There are approximately 5-6 lines. (photo)

Hi, I’m Lauren, the aesthetic injector at Colorado Plastic Surgery Center. Juvederm Volbella is a great choice because it’s a soft, smooth filler for fine lines. Typically, up to 1.0 cc (1 syringe) may be used, but often split between the upper lip and the surrounding skin. I always recommend starting with a consultation with a provider to develop a personalized treatment plan special to you.

My philosophy is that less is more. Whenever possible, I counsel my patients to be conservative in their initial treatment and then add more filler later, if desired. One syringe of Volbella or a thicker filler (your lines are pretty deep) would help fill in your perioral lines and smooth out your upper lip. If you feel like the creases are still too deep, then add more the next month. You might also look into lasers to improve your overall skin quality. If you tend to purse your lips a lot, a very light touch of Botox can help relax and smooth them, too. Consulting with a board-certified dermatologist will put you on the right track.

Hi. Thank you for your question. A combination treatment of Botox and Filler would be ideal for your upper lip lines. Start with 1 syringe of Volbella would be sufficient.
