In some people,
lip fillers
disappear faster than in others. Some seem to enjoy fuller lips for years while others are back in the chair within a year for a repeat lip filler treatment.
In general, you should enjoy about 9 to 12 months of filler treatment. Whether a lip filler actually lasts that long depends on a number of factors:
1. The composition of the filler
Hyaluronic acid-based filler is used to fill the lips. It is a clear gel and has been found to be completely safe. A long time ago, permanent fillers were also used; this is now banned. These fillers remain in your lip forever.
2. The type of filler used
There are several filler brands on the market. Some brands have a variant specifically for the lips, such as Restylane Kysse. This particular lip filler uses a technology that allows for more natural lip movement and has more elasticity than other fillers. The lip filler imperceptibly matches your own tissue, giving the fillers an extremely natural look. These lip fillers are often thinner in texture. Many other brands do not have a special lip filler, then the same filler is used in the face as in the lips. The filler is then often thicker and you are slightly more likely to have globules, however, these thicker fillers often stay in place longer. It may be worth a try to see which type of filler stays on you the longest.
3. The thickness of the skin of the lips.
The skin of your lips is extremely thin and very mobile, this is why lip fillers cannot be injected very deeply. This contributes to the temporary duration of the result.
4. Frequency of lip filler treatment.
Experience shows that if you repeat lip fillers a few times the lip filler can last longer. You should build up the lip fillers slowly over a number of treatments, never have too much placed the first time, this can stretch the lips and bring an unnatural result.
5. Other factors such as lifestyle
A hyaluronic acid filler is naturally broken down by the body, which is why the filler is only temporary. For some, this process is faster than for others. Your lifestyle can affect this. Smoking, stress, alcohol consumption are examples that can negatively affect the durability of a filler. Also, your metabolism and amount of exercise can contribute an accelerated breakdown of fillers. it experience shows that if you repeat lip fillers a few times the lip filler can last longer.

Should your lip fillers disappear quickly discuss this with the doctor before treatment. The doctor can then work with you to create a treatment plan to try to ensure that you can enjoy the lip fillers for as long as possible.
