A: Restylane and duration of effect

By Steven Hacker, MD - Delray Beach Dermatologist

It is important that your dermatologist explain prior to any injection the duration normally expected with Restylane. Typically, it is 6-8 mos in the nasolabial folds and commonly it is only 2 months in the lip lines. This is not unusual in my experience. Other fillers such as Juvederm may last a few months... more

A: Try Juvederm Ultra

By Ronald Shelton, MD - Manhattan Dermatologic surgeon

Perlane is a thicker Restylane and might be used but your lip might not need a thick product. Longer term fillers have greater risks of lumps and bumps, some could even be permanent, such as Silicone. You have to be very concerned about using a long lasting filler in the lip in case you don’t like the... more

A: Lip Augmentation

By Farbod Esmailian, MD - Orange County Plastic Surgeon

You may want to try Juvederm as your HA injectable of choice. The other options are perlane and radiesse which both last longer than restylane but they are too thick to place into the lip. Good luck.

A: Lip fillers

By Steven Wallach, MD - Manhattan Plastic Surgeon

While restylane is a good hyaluronic acid filler for the lips, there are others that last longer. Perlane and juvederm ultraplus will definitely last more than 2 months in the lip.

A: Lip Augmentation, What is the Best Long Term Filler?

By Michael A. Persky, MD - Los Angeles Facial Plastic Surgeon

Hi Tortilla, The thicker form of Restylane may last longer, but because of your previous experience you might consider trying Juvederm Ultra Plus. A new hyaluronic acid filler with lidocaine, Hydrelle, has been used off label in lips, but it's too early to recommend. The problem with other fillers... more

A: Fillers for lips

By Jeffrey E. Schreiber, MD - Baltimore Plastic Surgeon

Juvederm may work better for you and last longer. Unfortunately, there aren't many choices for lip enhancement and augmentation off the shelf. If you're considering surgery, fat grafting or Alloderm may offer better long term results, but this requires an operation. Also, the fat and... more

A: Restylane loss in the lips at 2 months

By Nissan Pilest, MD - Orange County Dermatologist

There are longer lasting and permanent fillers used off label, but I'd not recommend you "go there". Permanent fillers mean just that, so if you don't like the look, what will you do? The longer term fillers tend to be too dense for the lip and could form very displeasing lumps or granulomas... more

A: Permanent Filler for Lips

By Tanveer Janjua, MD - Bedminster Facial Plastic Surgeon

Silicon can be used as a permanent filler for lips. I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND IT THOUGH. Restylane and Juvederm are the safest to use in the lips. They should last for 4 to 6 months. I am not sure why yours lasted only 2 months. I would try either of these two again. Other fillers are not suitable for lips. Regards

A: Long lasting injectable fillers for facial rejuvenation

By Houtan Chaboki, MD - Washington DC Facial Plastic Surgeon

As others have already stated, Juvederm or Evolence are a good alternatives for longer lasting results for possible lip augmentation or wrinkle reduction. These fillers may last several months, potentially up to one year. Don't forget fat injections. Fat has the potential of long-lasting permanent facial... more

A: options for long-lasting fillers in lips

By Richard Baxter, MD - Seattle Plastic Surgeon

Restylane usually lasts longer than 2 months in the lips in my experience but all fillers seem to re-absorb more quickly in lips. One issue is that longer lasting fillers such as Radiesse tend to get lumpy in the lips, and no clear winner has emerged that has a natural feel but lasts a lot longer. Evolence is... more
