For our patients, lip filler lasts anywhere between 4 months and 1.5 years, depending on what you are trying to achieve. Lip filler is not permanent, and it wears away slowly over time. How long it lasts also depends on factors such as your age and your metabolism.
What Lip Filler Is
Lip filler is an injection that adds volume to your lips. It is a type of dermal filler.
Dermal fillers are made from hyaluronic acid, a substance that occurs naturally in the body and helps hydrate the skin and add volume.
What Affects How Long It Lasts
Your age and your metabolism affect how long lip filler lasts. Metabolism is how fast your body breaks down calories into energy. Younger people tend to burn calories faster, so lip filler does not last as long for them.
How long hyaluronic acid filler lasts also depends on the product used, and one filler maker adds the volume injected, your skin type and your lifestyle.
How to Make Lip Filler Last Longer
Look after your lips by keeping hydrated and protecting them from the sun. This improves your skin and makes lip filler last longer.
The Most Common Mistake
The most common mistake patients make with lip filler is having too much filler too soon and not giving it time to settle.
Results will be visible immediately. Some swelling or minor bruising may occur and usually subsides within a few days. The result settles fully over one to two weeks.
Can Lip Filler Be Reversed?
Hyaluronic acid lip filler can be reversed. If you are not happy with how you look, the filler can be dissolved.
