How Long Does Filler Last in Different Areas?
Many people who want to minimize wrinkles, add contour, and boost collagen production with dermal fillers ask how long they can expect their results to last. The answer depends on several factors – including the treatment area, product used, how quickly you metabolize the product, and how expressive your face is.
At Injectables by Dr. V, Dr. Vincent Nacouzi exclusively uses FDA-approved fillers from leading brands, including Juvéderm, Restylane, Revanesse, and Belotero. Here’s a breakdown of how long you can expect your results to last based on the area treated and the filler used.
Lips: 6 to 12 Months
Because the lips are highly mobile and vascular, filler tends to metabolize more quickly here than in other areas. The longevity of lip enhancement with products like Juvéderm Ultra XC and Volbella XC is typically 6 to 9 months, and you can prolong your results by staying hydrated and getting periodic touch-ups to maintain optimal fullness and shape.
Cheeks: 12 to 24 Months
Cheek fillers such as Juvéderm Voluma XC and Restylane Lyft restore volume and elevation to your mid- and lower face. Results tend to last longer because this area moves less than your lips. Annual refreshers are often sufficient for maintaining definition.
Tear Troughs: 9 to 12 Months
The delicate undereye area is one of the first places to show aging, and it’s also one of the trickiest areas to treat. Because movement here is minimal, results with fillers like Belotero Balance tend to be longer-lasting. You can make return appointments as needed to restore a youthful appearance.
Chin: 12 to 18 Months
Chin fillers improve the balance of your profile and enhance facial harmony. Even a small amount of extra volume can sharpen your jawline, create a more proportionate lower face, and make features like your nose and lips appear more balanced. Because the chin is a relatively static area with less movement than the lips or midface, fillers in this region typically maintain their shape longer, giving you extended longevity from each treatment.
Jawline: 12 to 18 Months
Filler can sculpt your jawline, enhancing masculine or feminine features based on your aesthetic goals. By strategically adding structure and contour, Dr. V will complement your natural bone structure while bringing balance and harmony to your profile.
What Impacts Filler Longevity?
A few factors determine how long your results last.
Product formation: Fillers with thicker, more cohesive crosslinked gel last longer than thinner ones.
Metabolism: People who have fast metabolisms will break down filler more quickly.
Injection depth and technique: Deep injections may offer more stability.
Area movement: More mobile areas like lips typically metabolize faster.
