But for the right person, 5 syringes can create a very natural result. For example, if a patient is injected with 5 syringes at once, it could be said to be a lot (almost too much). Depending on how thin their lips are and how raised they want them to be, most patients will do well with 1 or 2 dermal filler syringes to achieve their desired long-term aesthetic goal. The four syringes were injected laterally to help lift and hold their tissue, and they were all made in the same session.
However, you can be sure that any hyaluronic acid-based dermal filler can be successfully melted with a different injectable administered in an office. Lip fillers are a versatile treatment, so a consultation is important to discuss exactly what you want to achieve. Many patients who want to significantly increase their lip size with lip fillers choose to receive approximately 1 syringe at each visit, gradually increasing the size of their lips over the course of a few months. Depending on the shape and anatomy of your current lips, I inject the upper and lower lips, and I make sure to inject on the sides of the lips as well as the middle part. 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.
I rarely have to do it because I usually go slowly with my patients and I stop intermittently to have them look at each other's lips to make sure this doesn't happen. There are individual variations, but in general, your lips should be proportional to your face and should stand out with some “pout”, but not an excessive amount. If you feel like your lips are too big, even after the swelling has disappeared, it's always possible to melt the dermal filler with a simple in-office procedure. I need botox on the forehead and around the eyes, lip fillers, injections in the cheeks to lift the controls, and injections and fillers around the mouth.
Most patients don't know how much product a dermal filler syringe contains or how much their “lip idols” have received to achieve their lips.
