We know this is hard to visualize so let us help – 1cc is the equivalent to just 1/5 of a teaspoon! Just in case you're not a mathematician, that's 5 FULL syringes of filler to get just 1 teaspoon. It's a very small amount.
Yes, 1 cc of Juviderm should give you a great result. In my experience it is best to start with 1cc and re-evaluate after two weeks. It is easier to add more than remove from an overfilled lip.
In the Los Angeles and Torrance area, the cost of a 1cc syringe of Juvederm can range between $450 and $1000.
The majority of dermal fillers are made from Hyaluronic Acid and contain 1cc per syringe. Keep in mind that this means that there is only 1/5 of a teaspoon of filler in that 1cc syringe! This means that it takes FIVE full syringes to make a up a single teaspoon of filler.
Answer: There is 1cc or 1mL of product in a syringe of Juvederm, which is much less than 2 tablespoons. There is 1cc or 1mL of product in a syringe of Juvederm, which is much less than 2 tablespoons.
There is some confusion about metric words like milliliter (ml) and cubic centimeter (cc). These are just different names for the same amount of volume. In other words, one milliliter (1 ml) is equal to one cubic centimeter (1 cc). This is a three-tenths milliliter syringe.
Most filler syringes contain 1.0 ml (milliliters or cc) of product. This includes products such as Restylane and Juvéderm–which also includes Voluma, Vollure, Ultra, and Volbella. Some fillers do come in larger (e.g., Radiesse-1.5 ml) or smaller sizes but let's discuss the vastly more commonly used 1.0 ml syringes.
Overfilling results when too much filler is placed and the area look unnatural or artificial. To avoid this, it is helpful to evaluate each area in a mirror as it is filled. If it is estimated that 1.0cc of filler would be needed, check the area after 0.5cc is placed before adding additional filler to that area.

For someone desiring a more defined border or slight plump, 1 syringe is usually enough. For those desiring voluminous lips often depicted on Instagram, more than one syringe will be needed. How many depends on the size of your lips to begin with and your desired outcome.
How many cc's or syringes will I need for my lips? Most people need two to three syringes or 2-3 cc. One syringe of Restylane or Restylane Silk contains 1cc of filler. We typically perform the first treatment (if lips are the only focus) with a 1cc treatment.
Conversely, for those patients who want a subtle change, with hydrated/rejuvenated and slightly defined lips, 0.5ml overall is the right amount. But, if you want an instant plump of the lips and a fuller look, 1ml of lip filler is the best choice.
How much lip filler do I need? The vast majority of first-timers will need 1ml and there are very few exceptions to this.
Yes, you can achieve natural results with hyaluronic acid fillers for lip augmentation. One syringe of filler split between your upper and lower lips should give you a subtle natural look that typically lasts 3-6 months.
Depending on the injection site and amount of dermal filler, most HA fillers last from 6 – 12 months on average. Regardless of which dermal filler you use, two or three syringes are almost always recommended in order to achieve the most gorgeous outcomes.
The Rule of Thirds: Top To Bottom Lip Ratio
Whether you want dramatic volume or an enhanced but natural-looking appearance, Kellie recommends following the rule of thirds. That is, the top lip should be 1/3 of your total lips and your bottom lip 2/3, but it will also depend on your natural shape.
As well as stretching of the skin, excessive use of fillers can result in longer term damage including wrinkling of the lip and disturbance of the attachment of the facial fat pads and some degree of irregularity and ageing of the skin, he explains.
It's a common misconception that dermal filler is going to dramatically change your appearance with the very first treatment. In actual fact, 1ml of dermal filler is just enough to create a very subtle result that clients can then build upon over time (if that's your goal).
Most commonly, just 1 syringe is used for augmenting the lips, regardless of the type of filler you use. Occasionally, we will build up to 2 or even 3 syringes in the lips for a patient, but this is usually an older patient who has lost some of the definition and structure in the lips, as well as volume.
In short no, lip injections aren't painful. The procedure is generally pain-free. A topical numbing cream is applied to the injection sites prior to the procedure and reduces how much you feel. If you have any concerns about pain and discomfort, you can discuss this with your practitioner prior to the treatment.
How much is in one syringe of filler? Most fillers come in a syringe with 1mL of product. That is approximately 1/5th of a teaspoon. A small amount of product can go a long way, but many times optimal results require more than one syringe to obtain.
You are not allowed to smile for a few days after a lip filler. Facial expressions such as smiling, laughing, or frowning should have zero impact on your lip filler. It is actually better for you to smile and gently massage your lips, to help spread the product and produce a more natural end-result.
If you want noticeably plumper lips but don't want to go too far, a half syringe of filler may be enough. This will give you a more natural-looking and subtle result. However, this all depends on the current size of your lips, so a full syringe may be necessary.
