Lip fillers typically last between 6 to 18 months, depending on various factors such as the type of filler used, individual metabolism, age, lifestyle, and the amount injected.
- Most sources agree that the average duration is about 6 to 12 months, with some fillers lasting up to 18 months, especially in younger people with faster metabolism where fillers may break down quicker
- Popular fillers like Juvederm have been clinically shown to last around a year due to their formulation and viscosity
- Factors influencing longevity include metabolism (faster metabolism breaks down fillers quicker), filler type and composition, lifestyle habits like smoking and sun exposure, injection technique, and how much filler is used
- Some anecdotal reports and studies suggest fillers can last longer or that remnants may persist beyond the typical timeframe, but generally, the visible effect diminishes within 6 to 18 months
To prolong the effects, it is recommended to avoid excessive sun exposure, manage stress, avoid over-exercising, maintain good nutrition, choose the right filler, and schedule regular touch-ups every 4-6 months as needed
. In summary, expect lip fillers to last about 6 to 12 months on average, with some variation up to 18 months depending on individual and product factors
