How often can you get lip injections?

If you want your lips to look bigger then yes, get more filler. There is no time restriction. It is really up to you and your desired outcome. Best, Dr. Nazarian

If you want your lips to look bigger then yes, get more filler. There is no time restriction. It is really up to you and your desired outcome.

It is important for your injector to be careful when initially doing lip augmentation, as it’s easy to overfill and end up with an unnatural, duck-lips appearance. There should be no problem going back in for a touch-up if you feel your lips are too small, however. Providers often err on the side of caution, as it’s much easier to add more product than reverse an overfilled look. I recommend visiting a board-certified dermatologist with experience performing lip augmentation and discussing your goals with them. It’s also important to remember that everyone has different facial features, and what looks good on one celebrity may not necessarily look good on you. A skilled injector should be able to give you lips that look good on you while meeting your goals as closely as possible.

If you feel that your lips are still too small after the injections, you can return at any time to have more filler injected.  There is no strict time to inject.  Best, Dr. Green

If you sense your lips are smaller or you want more filler you can have it at almost anytime. Best of luck.

Dear NYCgirl2555,There is no time limit for adding filler.  Typically filler around the lips lasts at least 5-6 months.  You seem to be worried that your doctor "won't allow me to go that big."  This is a separate issue.  The lip naturally should be bigger on the bottom and smaller on the top.  If you are trying to achieve an artificial/unnatural result, your doctor has the right to refuse to do that. Consider what you are trying to achieve and why.  Then, discuss that with your doctor. I agree that many photos are photoshopped.  I imagine that you would want to look natural in real life.  I have done many lip reduction surgeries as a result of overzealous injections. Trends change.  Err on the side of caution!All the best,Dr. Michelle Yagdoa

There is no limit as to how often you can have injectable prcedures with products such as juvederm or other hyalurinic acid. The products tend to last 6-9 months and maintain volume well throughout that time. However, there is nothing wrong with wanting to add more volume if thats  the aesthetic you desire. Your doctor is right to start slow because subtle changes in volume can have a noticable effect. Its important to communicate your treatment goals to end up with a result you are happy with. Your lips look very nice now, just be carefulnot to over-do it!

Lip enlargement is tricky & as an injector u can't let the pt dictate size & shape as compared to some celebrity , as often they tire of their appearance depending on roles  . U can use the pts desires to determine their cosmetic knowledge this patient has a nice result now , average duration is lower than other locations as this is the most active area in our face , better to use incremental improvements than over correct , I would say see the pt every few mos & determine if more is advisable  . Lip enlargement can be one of the most gratifying event for both pt & dr but should be an artistic endeavor !

Thank you for your question.  Yes you can have more volume added over time and it will give you bigger fuller lips.  Just remember when the first syringe that you had in June starts to dissolve, your lips will start to return to their smaller volume.  We often times do staged volumization's over a couple of weeks to make sure the patient gets exactly what they are looking for, and if you want more volume you should discuss it with your physician.  Nevertheless it is safe to add more volume and then next time perhaps have 2 syringes done over two weeks.  Regards, Dr. Matt Elias

You look great as is.    There is the correct size and then the correct size plus but at some point if size is too much the poor patient looks like a clown.   Beware of the clown end result.  Wait a full year between treatment with Juvederm Ultra Plus.    We have seen many patients coming from overseas with extreme lip size and have done many surgical reductions.   The good news about Juvederm is that you can remove it with an injection of Vitrase.   Some substances are permanent and cause real havoc.  My Best,  Dr Commons
