Juvederm
Wondering how much Juvederm/filler would be enough to plump my upper lip while still keeping a natural look?
Your lips seem to have sufficient volume and are well defined. I would recommend starting with 1/2 a syringe of Juvederm Ultra XC to give a natural enhancement. Keep in mind that the lip will appear much more swollen for the first week after injection but the product will continue to settle down up to 2 weeks after injection. As always, please see an experienced, board-certified injector for your treatment.
Clinical Context
Juvederm Ultra XC is a hyaluronic acid gel modified to resist the body's natural breakdown, so results typically last several months to a year. Right after injection, the treated tissue draws in water, which adds to the initial swelling beyond the filler itself. As that settles over the following days to two weeks, the final shape becomes clearer. Using a conservative amount and an experienced injector both help the result look proportionate to your natural lip.
