How often can you get lip injections?

Question

I had my first lip injection ever with Juvederm back in June. He used 1 syringe for both bottom and top. It is now November and I feel like my lips are small and they're not the look that I am going for. I am wanting to achieve bigger fuller lips similar to Irina Shayk (had a computer image done), but I'm afraid my doctor won't allow me to go that big. Are lip injections something you have to build up over time? How often can I get them done to achieve the desired look that I want?

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

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.
