Will I see a difference with half a ml of Juvederm in my lips? (photos)

Thank you for your question.  You do have beautiful lip structure.  I would pose these questions to the physician who is going to be performing your injections.  You are wise for asking these questions but, ultimately, your decision should be based not on cost but whether or not the person who will perform your treatment is knowledgeable, experienced, and exercises good judgment

Because you already have nice volume and good shape, you should get a good result. Be aware that you will experience some swelling for a few days after the injection so don't panic if you have a little too much volume until it settles down. You can use a cold compress to reduce the swelling.

Lips are very depedent on where the fillers are placed to get the ultimate results.  I suggest you speak to your physician about what you are looking to acomplish to see if half a tube will be helpful or not.  Best, Dr. Emer.

Hi Lyss. You have pretty good volume and shape to your lips already, so half a syringe in the right hands can give you a nice, subtle enhancement. Just remember though that sometimes all your goals can't be met in just one treatment session and some touch ups and fine tuning may be required. Also, the lips do tend to swell and bruise after injection and depending on the injection technique used. So, you may still have some swelling once school starts. If this is important to you, you may want to give yourself a little more time. Make sure you choose an experienced physician injector. Best of luck to you!

Thank
you for your question and photograph. As your lips are in good shape and has
volume, it’s better to start with a smaller amount of about ½ syringe. You can
monitor the progress until two weeks and then decide to add fillers if you are
unhappy with the results. Remember, swelling and bruising is common while
getting fillers and this should take around 2 weeks to resolve. I recommend you
see an experienced injector in order to determine the best treatment plan for
you. All the best.

Thanks for your question and thanks for the photo. You do have very nice lips now so please make sure that no matter what is injected, that someone does not overdo things – to prevent the natural look that shows right now. We recommend that you always have these injections done in the offices of board-certified dermatologists or plastic surgeons as they understand the fillers the best and the anatomy of the lips better than anyone. Juvederm works well – a half syringe would be fine. Many would also recommend that Belotero or Restylane Silk in the lips – they too work very well.

Your lips already have nice shape and volume. I think a 1/2 mL of Juvederm Ultra would be sufficient to provide you with a subtle improvement.  The good news about starting with a 1/2 syringe... No duck lips and you can always add more later!

I have done  1/2 a syringe in lips before with Juvederm for people wanting subtle changes.  I think it's not a bad idea.  My preference is now Restylane Silk for a more natural, softer fill.

Hello Lyssbyss21,1/2 a mL of Juvederm is very subtle and you may not notice a difference, especially since you have pretty full lips to begin with (at least from your picture).I usually start my patients off with 1 full syringe, but the amount is really about where you start from and how full you want to go.Michael M.

I think 1/2 cc would give you a nice result when performed by an injector with a lot of experience.  Your lips have a nice shape, so it would just be to enhance them. This will not give you the 'duck' look.
