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 desired volume, the product used, and the patient's metabolism. Injectable fillers typically last six months to a year maximum. We use Juvederm and Restylane, which are great for quickly restoring volume for as long as possible.
Most dermal fillers will last at least six months, some treatments such as Restylane can last from six months to a year. Younger people tend to burn calories faster, so lip fillers don't last as long. The body absorbs the filling over time. Very active patients who exercise frequently tend to metabolize filler more quickly.
An angelic fill style focuses on the upper lip with the aim of elevating the shape of the upper lip. A keyhole is a novel type of fill style that enlarges both the upper and lower lips to create a small space in the center of the lips or a “keyhole”. As one of Juvederm's basic formulas, Juvederm Ultra can be used on the lips and around the mouth to soften fine lines and lines of lipstick, as well as increase lip volume. Scientists have found that hyaluronic acid injections cause the skin to produce more collagen, creating more natural volume in the lips.
A surgical lip augmentation is great if you've been injected before and you're ready for a permanent change. To avoid a failed job, only consult a board-certified professional, such as a dermatologist or plastic surgeon, who has a lot of experience with lip injections. In addition, this potentially invasive procedure can rarely cause vascular occlusion and result in a wound to the lip (tissue necrosis) that requires wound care and lip reconstruction. A megaphone lip lift is a type of cosmetic surgery that involves making the lips appear fuller without filling.
My lower lip is naturally fuller than my upper lip (which has a fairly defined shape), and I always thought it would be nice to add some volume to the top to even things out. Restylane Silk is a specialty injectable from Restylane that uses a fine, silky soft filling formula to effortlessly create buildable volume on the lips. Some find that their lips return to normal after a few months, while others don't need another injection for more than a full year. Overall, it's important to remember that everyone's body is different and will react differently to lip fillers. It's best to consult with an experienced professional who can help you determine how long your lip fillers will last.
