Restylane lasts up to 12 months in some cases

David J. Levens, MD answers: How long does Restylane last?

How long does Restylane last for real?  I had it once and it only lasted 2 months!

Depending on where the Restylane is injected on your face, how it is injected and your body's response, Restylane may last up to 12 months. 

In certain areas of the face, such as the lips, where the blood flow is greater, and there is a lot of muscle activity, it may last only 2-4 months. 

In other areas such as the forehead, it may last much longer, even up to 12 months.
