Lip fillers are a popular way to achieve a fuller, more voluminous pout. But how long do they last? Generally, lip fillers can last anywhere from six months to three years, depending on the amount of filler used, the patient's metabolism, and the product used. Younger people tend to metabolize the filler more quickly, so it may not last as long. Injectable fillers are typically used to restore volume and can last up to a year.
Juvederm and Restylane are two of the most commonly used fillers for lips. The type of filler chosen depends on the desired volume and the patient's goals for the treatment. It's important to get properly evaluated before getting lip fillers, as people can suffer serious complications, distress, and permanent disfigurement as a result of lip fillers and similar procedures. It is illegal to give cosmetic improvements such as lip fillers and Botox to children under 18. Nurse Aaron from ATYU - Ultimate Skin Concierge London recommends that each person's lips should be examined for symmetry and overall shape in order to place the filling accordingly.
He also suggests that patients opt for Juvederm, which provides a natural feel and texture to the lips without the need for an allergy test. It's important to note that your lips won't turn into saggy, deflated skin bags after the filler dissolves. However, it is possible to suffer necrosis of the lips if a poorly injected filler has blocked a blood vessel and there is no blood flow.
