Slow and consistent wins the race, so we tend to take a conservative approach to adding a filler product to the lips. This way we avoid obvious and overfilled results. We generally recommend starting with 0.5 ml of dermal filler (half a syringe) to achieve a slight volume on the lips. If, after 2 weeks, you feel that you want a little more volume for your lips, we can reserve another session.
This way, we can increase the volume in a safe and measured way. A half syringe of lip filler usually contains 0.5 milliliters, which may be sufficient for those who have naturally plump lips and want to add some volume or definition. We can use this ratio as a guide when treating the lips, but ultimately each patient is different and your consultation will be based on you. Separate lips with good visibility of the top of the teeth = less likely to have a duck-like appearance when filled with the right amount and technique.
Notice how the lips look on their own in the bottom row compared to the rest of this woman's facial features in the photo above. The effects usually last around 6 to 8 months, and the procedure is similar to that of a full syringe. Lip filler is a gel-like substance that is injected into the lips to add volume, smooth lines, shape the lips and improve overall appearance. Lifting is subtle because you can't use too much Botox in this area, as it can affect speech if you can't completely purse your lips.
Some plastic surgeons suggest that an upper lip longer than this length may look better after a surgical lip lift rather than using a filler. The effect of half a syringe of lip filler usually lasts around 6 to 8 months, after which the filler is gradually absorbed by the body. If your upper lip is longer, you can use a few neuromodulator units (Botox, Xeomin, Dysport) to help lift your upper lip. This study, published in JAMA Network, surveyed hundreds of people to determine the most pleasant lip proportions in women.
