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 ideal for first-timers or anyone looking for subtle lip enhancement. It lets you ease into treatment, get comfortable with the look and feel, and avoid results that feel too sudden or dramatic.

💬 At Time For You Aesthetics in Woodford, we often recommend starting with 0.5ml if you're new to lip filler. It gives you flexibility while still achieving visible, natural-looking results.

Can You Add More Filler Later?

Yes — you can absolutely top up your filler after 0.5ml. In fact, many clients return 2 to 4 weeks later to refine or enhance their results after the initial swelling has fully settled.

Topping up allows for:

• Increased volume or definition

• More symmetry, if needed

• A gradual approach that still looks fresh and balanced

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

Can I Go From 0.5ml to 1ml in One Session?

Yes, but it depends on your anatomy and treatment goals. Some clients choose to go from 0.5ml to 1ml during a review appointment or if they’re confident they want a more defined look.

Your practitioner will guide you based on:

• Your starting lip volume

• How the first filler has integrated

• Whether your lips can comfortably hold more product

Is It Better to Do 1ml All at Once?

That depends.

• If you’re looking for a noticeable boost right away, 1ml might be ideal.

• If you prefer to build gradually, 0.5ml + 0.5ml top-up gives you control.

No one-size-fits-all answer — it’s about your unique goals and your comfort level.

FAQs – Lip Filler Top-Ups

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

Yes! This is a popular approach for first-timers. It gives you time to adjust to your new look before adding more volume.

How long should I wait before topping up lip filler?

Wait at least 2–4 weeks. This ensures your initial filler has fully settled, allowing your practitioner to make precise enhancements.

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.
