In today’s beauty-obsessed society, attention has turned towards fuller lips. So, you might ask, how long do lip fillers last? At Dr. Jack Peterson’s clinic, we break down this popular topic.
Understanding Lip Fillers
Before diving into how long lip fillers last, it’s important to understand what they are. Lip fillers, or dermal fillers, are substances injected into your lips to enhance their size and shape.
What are they made of?
Most lip fillers are made of hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring substance in our skin. Brand names you might recognize include Juvéderm and Restylane.
So, How Long Do Lip Fillers Last?
The longevity of lip fillers depends on several factors including the type of filler used, the amount injected, and individual metabolic factors. On average, lip fillers tend to last between six to twelve months.
Why only a year?
The body naturally breaks down the hyaluronic acid in the filler, which is why touch ups are necessary.
