It creates a balanced look and adds volume as well.

For those who want noticeable but still look natural, 1 ml is the best choice.

 

How much lip filler is right for you?

Are you planning to get a lip filler? Do you know how much filler you need? In getting a lip filler, you should know how much filler you need to complement your overall look. You should consider several factors when deciding on this matter. That includes the size of your lips, the results you’re aiming for, and the kinds of filler your doctor will use.

Before we discuss how much filler you need, let us get to know what lip filler is.

A lip filler is created to increase the volume of an individual’s lips and enhance their shape and symmetry. It is in the form of an injectable, which uses hyaluronic acid (a substance naturally found in our body) as its common ingredient. A lot of people are getting the treatment because of its safety and effectiveness.

Check out these guidelines to help you decide on how much filler you need:

• 0.5 mL: This amount is suitable for first-time user of lip filler who do not want dramatic changes, and for those who want a subtle change in the look of their lips.
• 1 mL or more: For those individuals who want more significant results, this amount is suitable.

 

Consideration when choosing lip filler amount

You may find it hard to decide on how much filler you really need. Because you might end up with too much or too little. Your natural looks and what you want to achieve will determine the right amount for you, plus your lifestyle as well. Because we have different features, what seems to look natural on one person may look unnatural on another. That’s why lip filler can be customised for every person’s needs. The treatment will not make you look completely different, but it will improve your natural lips.

Your skilled injector will determine the best treatment for you or how much hyaluronic acid you need to inject into your lips by assessing your facial features. How your lips move when you smile, and whether your lips are proportionate to the rest of your face, as well as whether you have lip fillers, are all factors. They will also need to know what you want to look after your fillers, more noticeable or just a subtle change.

So, all of these factors will help your doctor determine how they can start your treatment or how many fillers you need. To get a natural and confident look, you’ve been aiming.

To help you decide, here are some factors to consider:

 

Lip anatomy and shape

We all have different sizes and shapes of lips. Some have this kind of defined cupid’s bow, while others have flat lips on the upper part of their lips.

The balance between your lips’ top and bottom and the thickness of their tissue also plays a role. To assess the proportion and recommend the right amount for you, consult a skilled practitioner.

 

Desired outcome and expectations

The amount of botulinum toxin that your doctor will use on your lip enhancement will depend on your desired results. If you want a subtle and fresher look, 0.5 ml is suited for you. 1 ml or more may be recommended if you want more volume and definition on your lips.

 

Age and skin condition

Our lips may lose their volume over the years and develop wrinkles. We naturally lose collagen and balance in different parts of our bodies when we age. For the lips, a little more filler is needed to restore the youthful shape of individuals who are in their 30s, 40s, and beyond, compared to those who are younger.

 

Previous lip filler treatments

Individuals who have already received a lip filler do not need much of it. They can top up 0.5 ml as their maintenance. Always discuss your expectations with your trusted injector to know what exact amount you need because too much filler will not create good results.

FAQs

• How much lip filler is in one syringe?

Syringes of dermal fillers usually contain the product in 1ml. Your injector will just use half of it if the recommended amount for you is 0.5ml. You can get half syringes in some clinics, while purchasing the full amount in other clinics is required.

The price of lip fillers in London differs in every clinic and its location. Price often ranges from £200 to £500 per syringe. At Harley Street Skin Clinic, you will get the best offer that starts at £360 to £480. We use medical-grade products and always prioritise the safety of our patients.

• How long does lip filler last?

Fillers will not stay forever in your lips because your body may naturally absorb them in the long run. Your metabolism, together with your lifestyle, is one of the factors that affect how long the results will take. And of course, the types of lip filler injections your doctor used also play a big role. After that, you may need a maintenance session or a touch-up to keep your lips the way you want.

• How long should you wait between treatments?

Before topping up, your doctor may recommend that you wait 4 to 6 months, even if the results are starting to fade. You know why? Because too many hyaluronic acid fillers can make you look unnatural or even lead to “freeze face.” If you want to avoid these things from happening and maintain a balance and natural beauty for a long time, get a personalised treatment plan from your trusted dermatologist.
