A smaller volume of dermal filler, typically around 0.5ml, injected into the lips can produce subtle enhancements. This approach often focuses on augmenting specific areas, such as the cupid’s bow or adding a gentle fullness, rather than drastically altering lip size. Visual changes may include improved lip definition, hydration, and a softened appearance of fine lines around the mouth. The extent of these changes depends on individual factors like lip anatomy, product used, and injector technique.
Opting for a more conservative injection volume allows for a gradual approach to lip enhancement. This method can be particularly attractive for individuals seeking a natural-looking improvement or those trying fillers for the first time. Starting with a smaller amount provides an opportunity to assess the results and determine if further augmentation is desired. Historically, larger filler volumes were more common; however, evolving aesthetic preferences now emphasize subtle enhancements and natural-looking outcomes, making smaller volume injections increasingly popular.
