How long should Restylane last in lips?

Question

I had restyline before in my lips and it lasted 12 mths and longer. The last time it did not last 3 mths with two visits. Why?

Dhaval M. Patel, MD · Answer

Thank you for your question. It is important to remember everybody is different. Everyone will have different results and Restylane may last longer for others. Restylane can last anywhere from 6-12 months. The length of Restylane lasting depends on a couple factors like where it is placed and how much is injected. Make sure you see a board certified plastic surgeon or board certified dermatologist. Best of luck!Dhaval M. Patel Double board certified Plastic surgeon Hoffman Estates Barrington OakbrookChicago

Restylane injected into the lips usually lasts 6 months, if not longer.  The duration does vary dependent on the patient, where it is placed, and amount used. A great thing about restylane you can have follow-up injections to keep your results indefinitely. You should always see a board certified dermatologist or plastic surgeon for best results with your injections.

Typically the restylane lasts 9-12 months but there are times when I have had patients where it lasts longer and others less.  I would try Restylane Silk one your next visit and use with cannulas to prevent bruising and pain.  Best, Dr. Emer.

it is a frequent question asked by the patients.hyaluronic acid last average of 6 months. depending on the site injected, amount and the thickness of it determine the longevity of the products .around the mouth, it's the area that consume rapidly the product. some new ones seems to last longer than 6 months in that area. in the cheek, with dense product injected deeply in non mobile area, the longevity expected can be much longer than 6 monts up to a year and more.we have patients that say that the first time that they had injection, it lasted longer than afterword. to answer your question, i am not surprised that after 3 months most of it is already gone.

Lenore Sikorski, MD · Answer

I usually tell my patients that Restylane lasts approximately 4-6 months in the lips.  Duration of the product can be affected by metabolism, medications and may vary from individual to individual.
