Lip injection follow up appointment

Question

I just got my lips done about 5 days ago. The doctor that did them told me that I need to come in again for what he called a "booster" appointment in 1 month so he can really even things out and add more filler if I'd like. I can see that I definitely do want a little more filler added because now that the swelling has gone down, the results aren't as much as I'd like. He's charging me an additional $330 (CAD) after my initial appointment was $530 and I'm wondering if this is standard practice?

Billing will vary among Doctors. I recommend following up with your Doctor about your question. Filler results take 1-2 weeks. I hope this helps.

Each Doctor will have their own protocol for follow up appointments. If you have questions, I recommend following up with your injector. It takes 1-2 weeks for final results with filler. Best, Dr. Emer

Thank you for sharing your question.  Each surgeon and medical practice will have their own billing methods, but I prefer to charge patients for the cost of each syringe used.  In that way patients know exactly what their cost would be and can budget accordingly.  Hope this helps.

Every injector has a different price and technique. The only way to compare is to compare prices of the filler and procedure in your area. Call around and get a few consultations.
