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.
Generally speaking, however, a half syringe of lip filler will give you a subtle result, which is great if you want your lips to be more natural-looking, to correct minor asymmetry or to add hydration. A full syringe will provide a more full and noticeable result, but won't leave you with overfilled lips.
0.5ml is a great introductory filler amount for first-time lip filler clients, especially if you're nervous of what the result will be. Remember you will swell after treatment a little, so you will not see major change with 0.5ml after the treatment has settled over the first 2-4 weeks.
A client who opts for one full syringe of filler can expect their results to last between 6 months to 1.5 years. Those who opt for half a syringe of filler can expect their results to last for a maximum of 6 months.
A half syringe will unlikely give someone the full result they need, but it is available for specific needs. Filler is used to add volume to various areas of the face including the lips, around the mouth, cheeks, under-eyes, temples, nose, jaw, and chin.
If you choose to use half of a syringe, it will give you a very subtle change and a more natural look. If you are wanting a noticeable change, I would recommend a full syringe. You will instantly swell after injecting lips but you can look when finished with half the syringe and decide at that point if you want more.
It typically takes about 4 weeks for the filler to settle in and achieve the final, desired look. The results will typically last about 6 months.
How long does lip filler last ? Half ml of lip fillers will last only 3-4 months. The filler used is also called a thin or soft filler.
For touch-ups, which we advise every 6 to 12 months, 0.5ml is usually recommended. We would not usually recommend less than 1ml for an initial lip filler appointment to achieve noticeable-yet-natural-looking results.
Remember – just because you opt for 1ml, doesn't mean the whole 1ml will be used. The most common amount used at Dr Jess Aesthetics ranges from 0.65-0.8ml. If you have naturally full lips or only want minor corrections or definition in certain areas, 0.55ml could be the best option for you.
Often our patients ask “Will more than 1ml of dermal filler look overfilled?” They're concerned about looking “obvious” or “done”. In reality, when premium filler is used correctly and expertly placed, your treatment results will look subtle and natural, even beyond that first ml.
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.
Hyaluronic acid, or HA, naturally occurs in the body and not only attracts moisture (and volume) to the lips but also stimulates the lips' own ability to produce more collagen. This means you get immediate, natural-looking results and you also see a gradual improvement in your lip area as collagen increases. Dr.
Answer: Storing Juvederm
Thank you for your question. While some physicians do offer to save opened, partially used syringes of filler for future use, I generally recommend against this. Fillers like Juvederm are formulated and sealed as sterile products, to prevent the risk of deep infections in skin after treatment.
Yes, it is perfectly acceptable to ask for less than a full syringe of Juvederm for your lips. However, you would have to pay for a full syringe still, the syringes are not divisible among patients. There are typically other places on the face the remainder of the syringe can be used so it isn't wasted.
Well, it depends on the individual and their lip goals, but can vary from 0.5ml lip filler to 3ml. A good practitioner will talk through your options and suggest an amount based on your individual case. It may also be the case that you need several appointments to get the lip look you're after.
0.5 ml is a small quantity and will only produce subtle results. There is no reason why you need to wait a "few months" prior to receiving more filler.
Depending on the amount of lip fullness desired by the patient, 1 ml of filler or less is sufficient. In lip augmentation, 0.5-2 ml of filler injection is usually applied for the first time.
Hyaluronic acid-based fillers are gels with a liquid-y formulation. The basic rules of science tell us that any liquid can move. However, migrating filler isn't necessarily an immediate effect. Instead, it's one that happens gradually over weeks, if not months or even years.
Unless you go to extremes with lip fillers or choose a very unskilled injector, your lips won't be permanently stretched. This means that if you choose to stop having lip filling injections, your lips will likely return to their normal proportions.
Why Are Filler Results Temporary? Dermal fillers are created using naturally occurring enzymes, such as hyaluronic acid. For this reason, they are metabolized by your body over time. The speed of your metabolism will greatly affect how long your treatment results last.
People with higher metabolisms will experience shorter filler results because their bodies will break the filler compound down faster than those with slower metabolisms. The same goes for other treatments such as BOTOX® and Dysport®.
Lip fillers aren't permanent. They slowly wear away over time, usually 12 to 18 months after you get them, depending on your metabolism. You may need routine touch-up treatments to maintain your desired volume.
The longevity of filler depends on many factors, like the type and amount, but, mostly, metabolic rate. Metabolism affects just how long filler lasts in each of our bodies, which is why your friend's lip filler might last longer than yours, or vice versa.
