Can I Add More Lip Filler After 0.5ml

Wondering if you can start small and build up your lip filler gradually? You're not alone — many clients at our Woodford clinic ask if it's possible to begin with 0.5ml and later add more, like 1ml. The answer?

Absolutely yes — and it’s often a smart, natural-looking approach.

Why Start with 0.5ml?

Starting with 0.5ml is perfect for anyone new to lip filler or looking for subtle enhancement. It helps you ease into the treatment, get used to the feel and look, and avoid overwhelming results.

Can You Add More Later?

Yes — you can absolutely top up your filler later. In fact, many clients return after a few weeks once they’ve seen how the first treatment settles. Adding more can enhance volume, improve definition, or even out any asymmetry.

Just make sure you:

✅ Wait 2–4 weeks after your initial treatment

✅ Discuss your goals and results with your practitioner

✅ Let the first filler fully settle before topping up

Is It Better to Do 1ml All at Once?

It depends on your lip shape, starting volume, and aesthetic goals. Some clients go straight to 1ml for a more noticeable result — others prefer a “build and blend” approach.

✨ Either way, a consultation with your practitioner is key to finding what’s best for you.

FAQs – Lip Filler Top-Ups

Can I get 0.5ml now and 0.5ml later to make 1ml?

Yes! Many people start with 0.5ml to test the waters and return for a second 0.5ml if they want a bit more volume.

How long should I wait before topping up?

Usually 2 to 4 weeks — this gives the initial filler time to settle so we can assess your results properly.

Conclusion

Topping up your lip filler is not only possible — it’s often the best way to build your perfect pout gradually and naturally. Whether you’re easing in with 0.5ml or ready to enhance further, we’re here to guide you every step of the way.
