Lip augmentation 0.5 ml or 1 ml? and nurse or doctor? Thank you. (photos)

Dermal fillers are not normally sold in half syringes. If there is a place that does offer that option, it may be too little of an amount to notice a difference. You can have more injected and still receive a nice, subtle look. In my practice, I do my patients' filler injections myself. I’m sure that the nurses can give great results as well. But, if you have any doubt about any of the nurses in the offices that you may go to, it would be best to do some research on them beforehand.

You have naturally beautiful lips. If you are determined to have your lips augmented please start with 0.5 ml only. Make sure that upper and lower lips are proportionally augmented. It is very easy to create unnatural, disproportional and fake lips as we see quite often. Always remember - you are after aesthetic enhancement and not body modification. Make sure that whoever does the injections will maintain your natural shape and proportions in the context of your entire face. Nurse or MD? The title alone will not predict the outcome. 

Thank you for your question and pictures. Dermal fillers are a great option for lip augmentation and improve symmetry of the lips. Usually at least 1 ml of dermal fillers is needed for best results. It is always best to see an expert for optimal outcome. I hope this help. All the best, Dr Michon
