Most of my customers like a natural look. In my opinion, 1ml lip filler is usually enough dermal filler for your lips.
There are different types of filler to be used in the lips. They range from a touch filler like Restylane Fynesse for small lip lines and lip border enhancement, to Restylane Kysse and Restylane Lypp. These are firmer, larger gel particles used for larger lip shape or volume.
Choose the right practitioner for Lip Filler
It is important for a practitioner to be medically trained and insured to carry out lip treatments. This is because they can be a risky area to treat. There are 7 main areas to the ‘aesthetic’ appearance of the lip. The philtral column is the two lines between the nose and the cupid’s bow. This can flatten over time, causing the lips to thin and the appearance of fine lines, also known as ‘smokers lines’ even on non-smokers.
The White Border is where the lip meets the facial skin. Within it is the vermillion or lip border and the vermillion just inside the lip. If this is filled, it can take 0.5 to 1ml of touch filler. For more enhancement to the cupid’s bow or tubercle area, a larger molecule lip filler is needed. However, 1ml is usually sufficient if the correct filler is selected.
I certainly don’t recommend more than 1ml even if you are looking to go big. This is because it runs the risk of migrating outside of the lip line which is not a good look!
If you want to go big, I recommend building up over time. This always gives the best lip filler results. I see so many customers who come to me for corrective treatments. These customers have had too much lip filler in one go.
