Unhappy with size of lip injections, do you have to pay again?

Question

I had my lips injected with Juvederm. I used 1 syringe for both top and bottom and now a few days later my lips look small and not the results I wanted. I am unhappy with them, do I have pay again for another syringe? Each syringe costs $700 and i don't want to pay an additional $700 for nothing

Hello, you would need to speak to your injector about their policy.  It is not uncommon to require additional filler to achieve the desired result, and each clinic will have their own policy whether there is a different fee for more product.

Michael S. Beckenstein, MD · Answer

Everyone should discuss this issue fully BEFORE you undergo treatment. Usually additional treatment will have added cost. It's better to have too little and simply inject more than to have too much!

Jeremy A. Benedetti, MD · Answer

Typically, if you would like more filler because you feel that your lips are still smaller than you would like, you would have to pay for an additional syringe. It is not uncommon to start out wiht one syringe.

I don't think its the doctors fault if you aren't happy because your lips aren't big enough. It's just a matter of getting more filler. You can talk to the doc and see what mutually agreeable plan you can come up with. Restylane Silk is my preference for lips now.

Francis R. Palmer, III, MD (retired) · Answer

The size is dependent on how much filler was used.  Most offices charge by the syringe.  If you used a whole syringe and you still want fuller lips, you would need another syringe.  The injector most likely will charge your for the 2nd syringe.
