How Long Do Lip Injections Last?

“So, exactly how long do lip injections last?”

We’ve been getting this question a lot from people who are interested in treatment but are concerned about the quality of their results.

The answer: Lip injections last three to 18 months.

Collagen injections are on the short end of the spectrum, while a high-quality lip filler like Juvederm Vollure™ outlasts most other fillers.

Note: Collagen injections aren’t used much anymore, in part because of their short lifespan but also because they tend to cause infections.

Do Lip Fillers Change Your Lips Forever?

Usually, no. Most lips fillers are temporary, as they are slowly absorbed by your body over the course of several months.

The reason your body is able to absorb most lip fillers is that they are made of synthetic hyaluronic acid, which is a type of sugar that naturally occurs in the body.

Other absorbable lip fillers include those made from calcium hydroxyapatite, which is found in human bones and those made from Poly-L-lactic acid, a biodegradable substance.

Some lip fillers use polymethylmethacrylate beads, which are NOT biodegradable and lead to permanent changes in your appearance.

Temporary lip fillers can also permanently change your appearance if they are misused.

Receiving too many injections in a short span of time or getting too much filler injected in one sitting can permanently stretch or scar your lips and also lead to significant health issues.

Treatments are safe when they are administered by an ethical, licensed medical spa or other board-certified treatment providers.

Lip Filler Safety Considerations

When getting a lip filler injection, it’s important to use the right brand. There are a number of lip filler brands that are FDA approved.

About Lips Fillers – For Those New To The Subject

Lip fillers are a quick, easy, and non-invasive alternative to lip augmentation surgery. Thanks to celebrities such as Kylie Jenner, Snooki, and Anna Faris, more people than ever are seeking the benefits of this fantastic treatment modality.

The four advantages of lip fillers over more intensive lip augmentation procedures are (1) they are relatively pain-free, (2) they require little downtime, (3) they are less expensive, and (4) they are arguably less risky.

In our experience, most people come to us for treatment either to solve a long-standing issue with their appearance or to restore the way they used to look. It is certainly possible for a person to lose lip volume due to age, hormonal changes, or the use of certain medications.
