Does this look like one full syringe of Restylane Silk was used in lips? (Photo)

Thank you for the question. Your before and after photos do show noticeable improvement. You may want to consider a thicker filler next time you have your lips injected if you desire more volume. I prefer Restylane or Juvederm Ultra to achieve this. It is important to discuss your expectations with your injector prior to treatment. I always recommend seeing a board certified plastic surgeon who performs a high volume of injectable treatments. Hope this helps and good luck! 

I appreciate your question.

Your photos show a very nice, subtle, natural ,improved result.  If you want further enhancement , another syringe is needed.



The best way to assess and give
true advice would be an in-person exam.

Please see a board-certified
plastic surgeon that specializes in aesthetic and restorative plastic surgery.

Best of luck!

Thank your sharing your photos and experience.  I would recommend that if you want to stick with non-invasive options, that you consider Restylane or Juvederm to provide a plumper lip. I would wait another week before proceeding.If you are open to a small in-office surgical procedure, then a lip lift can be a very rewarding procedure that will help evert your upper lip and you will find this can make a dramatic improvement and decrease amount of filler needed.I would recommend visiting with a board certified plastic surgeon in your area who can discuss these options in more detail.

Most people need more than one syringe, but its better to do small amounts over time this gives a subtle less swollen look.  Best, Dr. Emer.

This is a very common concern of patients who undergo filler treatment with a small amount of product (i.e. one syringe).  While there is no such thing as the standard result for a single syringe, one can expect some enhancement of lip shape with the first syringe of filler, especially if there is a very small volume present to begin with.  After three days, most swelling should have resolved, so if you desire a further result, I would recommend returning to your board-certified plastic surgeon or dermatologist for further injections.
