Will 1/2 a syringe be enough for maintaining a previous injection along my smile lines?

Question

I had Juvederm injected along my marionette lines about a year ago. They filler has performed well and the lines are barely noticeable. I would like to get a bit more just for maintenance. Do you this 1/2 a syringe would be enough? The lines are not deep and not visible to the naked eye.

It's possible, but it's difficult to answer effectively without pictures. I recommend following up with your injectors. I hope this helps.

Hello and thanks for your question. Maintaining previous injections typically requires at least 1 syringe in order to provide a nice result. Please keep in mind that 1 syringe is a very small amount and would provide a modest result for a small area such as tear trough (would start with 1/2 syringe per side). Nasol folds and marionette lines require more than 1/2 syringe in most cases. All the best!!

Thank you for your question. 
Glad you are satisfied with your filler from one year ago. The syringes are not sold in 1/2 syringes.   Usually if one has volume loss in marionette lines, there is volume loss in the cheek area and  it is usually very easy to use one full syringe.  Often times there may be volume loss in the temple region or nasolabial folds.  Maintainance is great and using the full syringe should warrant nice results.
Please consult your surgeon injector or a local board certified facial plastic surgeon for more information and a comprehensive consultation

Without a photo or in person consultation it is impossible to suggest an answer. However, if the line is no longer deep then a small amount of filler may be all that is needed. Juvederm comes by the syringe and not a half syringe. Please consult an expert in fillers for the best cosmetic results. Best, Dr. Green

Without seeing you in person it would be hard to say.  Usually syringes are not purchased in 1/2's.  ...
