Repeat Injections: How soon after your first round of lip injections can you go back to your doctor if you decide you want more?

Question

And approximately how long will the injections last?

Ross A. Clevens, MD, FACS · Answer

The timetable between injectables usually depends upon how the patient responds. Each of our bodies responds differently to different procedures. Injectables must be repeated every year or even more often. For that reason, I suggest you visit your board certified facial plastic surgeon to express your desire to receive another round of treatment and to establish an appropriate timeline that fits your recovery and your desires aesthetic outcome.

I recommend patients waiting 2 weeks after their injections before returning for repeat injections.  This allows time for swelling to go down and the provider to have a better sense of how the first injections settled.

Robert M. Tornambe, MD · Answer

I recommend waiting at least one week. This will allow all swelling to settle and you can see exactly what you look like, and better to decide how much, if any bigger, you want to be. Good Luck!

Pedram Imani, FRACS, MS, MBBS (Hons) · Answer

Its not unusual for patients to want more fillers put into their lips after the initial injection.  Its generally a good idea to wait a few weeks before having a second round of lip fillers.  This give the surgeon a better idea as to how much more filler is required to achieve the fuller lip lip look you are after.  Hope this helps.

Steven Wallach, MD · Answer

I usually have patients wait about 2 weeks to allow for the swelling to go down before having them return for more filler in their lips.

Jeffrey Nelson, MD · Answer

You can safely add more filler the same or next day.  You may want to wait for your filler to settle within 7-12 days or so.  Usually hyaluronic acid fillers last anywhere from 6-10 months in the lips.  This is usually dependent on which product was used.  When we speak or animate our mouth the muscle movement starts to slowly break the product down.
