If you have looked at lip-filler prices, you may have seen several volume options and wondered which one to book. The amount is important, but it does not tell you everything about the proposed treatment or the result.
At LN Medical Aesthetics, Lisa offers 0.5 ml, 0.7 ml and 1 ml lip-enhancement options. A suitable amount is discussed following assessment. You do not need to choose it before you understand the plan.
Volume is a measurement, not a result
Millilitres describe the volume of product. They do not describe your starting lip shape, where the product would be placed or the change being considered.
A photograph labelled with a particular volume cannot show what that amount would achieve for you. Different starting anatomy and treatment plans mean results will vary.
Explain the change you want first
Adding overall fullness, improving the lip outline and adjusting shape are different aims. You may have one specific concern or want to discuss how the lips sit within your facial proportions.
Rather than starting with “I need 1 ml”, explain what you would like to change and what you would prefer to retain. Lisa can then assess whether filler is suitable and discuss an appropriate plan.
Your starting point matters
Assessment considers the lips you have now, their proportions and any previous treatment. Tell Lisa what you have had done, when and where. If you know the product and amount, that information can help the discussion.
You should not assume that a previous treatment means you need the same amount again. Nor should you assume a larger volume will produce a more suitable result.
How the available options fit
The three volume options are ways of describing the amount of product available within a treatment plan. They are not fixed categories of result.
- 0.5 ml is a smaller amount of product; it is not a guarantee of an invisible or subtle change.
- 0.7 ml is an intermediate amount; it is not automatically the best compromise.
- 1 ml is a larger amount; it is not automatically the right choice for a first appointment or a visibly fuller result.
Lisa will explain her recommendation and the associated cost before you decide. Current prices are on the lip-enhancement page.

Would treatment in stages be appropriate?
Ask whether the proposed change should be approached in one appointment or assessed over time. A staged plan may be discussed where appropriate, but it is not necessary for everyone and further treatment is not guaranteed.
If further product is recommended later and you choose to proceed, it will be chargeable. A review appointment and another filler treatment are different things.
Questions to take to your consultation
- What change do you think is achievable with my existing lip shape?
- Why are you recommending this amount?
- How does my previous filler affect the plan?
- What should I expect during recovery?
- What happens at the review, and what would further treatment cost?
Discuss the plan before choosing the amount
Start with your questions and preferences. The consultation is where Lisa assesses suitability and explains the amount, cost, relevant risks and limitations.
