The short answer
Most lip filler lasts about 6 to 12 months. Lips move constantly when you talk, eat and smile, so filler there tends to break down faster than filler in the cheeks or chin.
What affects how long it lasts?
- The filler used: some lip fillers, like Juvederm Volbella and Restylane Kysse, are designed to last up to about a year
- Your metabolism: people with faster metabolisms often break filler down sooner
- Exercise: very active people may see results fade a little faster
- Amount of filler: building volume over time can help results last
- Sun and smoking: both can speed up breakdown
How do I know it's wearing off?
Lips gradually lose definition and volume, usually evenly. Filler doesn't disappear overnight, and your lips won't look worse than before treatment.
When should I book a touch-up?
Many people book a touch-up every 6 to 12 months to keep results looking fresh. A touch-up often needs less filler than the first treatment.
Can I make it last longer?
Stay hydrated, wear lip SPF and avoid smoking. Following your aftercare instructions for the first two weeks also helps filler settle well.
