How many ml would I need for my lips? I want to get lip fillers but I'm unsure about the amount I should get! (Photos)

Question

The first lips on the pictures is the look i want to achieve. Second one is my lips. Would it be possible for my Lip shape to get the shape on the pic? And how many ml would i need? If i choose to begin only with 0,5 ml will it make any difference to my lips? (I want to do the upper Lip only) Thanks x

Yes, .5 ml will make a subtle difference. I prefer to use a micro cannula to inject the lips to prevent bruising. Look for a cosmetic dermatologist or plastic surgeon who is an expert in fillers to discuss your desired results and concerns. 
I hope this helps.

You would get a nice improvement with lip fillers. These fillers, (Volbella, Restylane, Juvederm) are good to create a symmetrical lip. .5 ml will make a subtle improvement. Nova threads can be used to improve lift and shape. Implants or fat are alternatives. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with a facial sculpting expert. Best, Dr. Emer

Hi,
Great question,
Starting with 1 cc syringe is the usual amount someone would begin with lip fillers. Your lips will swell after initial injection and after 4-14 days of allowing them to settle and you still feel as if you want more, you should contact your current cosmetic physician and he/she can address the area.
Hope this helps!

Thank you for sharing. You have very nice lip volume and shape as is. 1ml would add to your lip volume and enhance the shape. For best results it is important to see a board certified dermatologist with experience in cosmetic injections.

I would start with 1 (1 mL) syringe of Restylane since you already have good lip volume to begin with. You can always add more filler as needed at followup appointments.
