Is injecting the vermilion border a standard part of lip augmentation. Or does the patient have to ask for that?

[DrNaderi]

@albymontero92

Good question! No. Lips have many different anatomic zones and the vermillion only needs to be injected if there is inadequate vermillion definition as in older women or if the lips are so flat and small that more vermillion show is necessary in order to be able to then augment and fill the red lip as well.

Dr. Naderi,

What can one expect to pay for this procedure and how often is the upkeep?

Thank you!

@jlcarpenter77

In the beginning you may be injecting your lips every 3-4 months but with time many of my patients build up collagen from the injection in their lips and so they come in once or twice per year for the lip injections that can cost on average around $600-700. Some patients only need a half syringe ($350) while others may need 2 syringes ($1200-1400)

my top right side of my lip is slightly thinner than the left, would that change the procedure? or would my doctor just inject more in that specific area?

[DrNaderi]

@NOURWHORE

Making asymmetric lips more symmetric is sometimes impossible non-surgically depending on the lip shape and width and length but improvements can be made using lip injection with Restylane.

You're welcome and thank you. Your plastic surgeon can use the filler and inject the tear trough and the lips or the smile lines. Some fillers can be used in multiple areas. Some cannot. I would change the needle so it is fresh, sharp and sterile for each site. With good injection technique the area should not be significantly lumpy.

Is it ok for me to use any left over product after my lip treatment in the tear through & the nasolabial folds?& is it vital tht the needle is changed or is it ok 2 keep the same needle?in the past i have had lumps in the lip after treatment so would it be exceptable for me to message my lips at home & up to how many days after treatment?Thnx
