After lip filler, if you loved your results when should I schedule a touch up to maintain results?

Hello, and thank you for your question. Lip filler can last anywhere from 6 months to 1 year, sometimes longer. It depends on one’s metabolism of the product. Filler will deteriorate over time and not all disappear in one day. Most patients get a touch up once per year, but it also depends on the result you are looking for. If you like a more “filled” look, it may be more often. Ones that prefer natural results, may be longer between treatments. I would recommend scheduling a consult with a provider who specializes in dermal filler to evaluate your needs further.

Hyaluronic acid fillers generally last 6-12 months as people metabolize differently especially people who exercise heavily. General guidance for lip filler would be to do maintenance yearly. Refyne is is known to produce subtle/natural results. Next time you visit with your practitioner consult on other ha fillers that could produce a more robust result.

Hi @Original583209! This is a great question. Restylane Refyne typically lasts 12 months. I would recommend going in for a touch up at 6 months or so.

Thank you for sharing your question. The follow up for lip fillers depends on your preference and the amount of filler injected. Roughly visits with your injector should be every 4 months if you want to maintain the exact results without having the filler dissolve. Good luck!

Thank you for your question. This is a very common concern. I usually tell patients that injecting filler is like filling up the gas tank of a car. When you fill the tank, it will be full and then slowly decrease over time. Filler is very similar. So really it's up to you when you'd like to "fill up the tank" again. Some people prefer regular maintenance, while some prefer to wait for most of the filler to dissipate prior to another treatment. I hope this helps, and all the best to you.

The duration of lip filler results can vary depending on the type of filler used, your metabolism, and individual factors. Generally, lip fillers are not permanent, and the effects can last anywhere from six months to a year or more. If you loved your initial results and want to maintain them, scheduling a touch-up is a good idea.The timing for a touch-up will depend on the specific filler used, how your body metabolizes it, and how your lips naturally change over time. Most people choose to schedule a touch-up appointment before the effects of the initial treatment completely wear off. This allows for a seamless transition and helps maintain a consistent look.It's advisable to follow up with your injector or healthcare provider for guidance on when to schedule a touch-up. They can assess the current state of your lips, discuss your satisfaction with the results, and recommend an appropriate timeline for a touch-up based on your individual case.Keep in mind that it's essential to go to a skilled and experienced injector for lip filler treatments to ensure safety and achieve desirable results. Additionally, be open and communicative about your preferences and expectations during the follow-up appointments to achieve the best possible outcome.

Thank you for your question! Restylane Refyne typically lasts between six to 12 months. That said, everyone is unique and will metabolize dermal fillers at a different rate, so you might see a difference in your results later (or sooner) than others. The good news is that your filler won’t just disappear overnight—it slowly dissolves over time—so you will see a gradual decrease in volume rather than suddenly smaller lips. Depending on your preference, you can “top off” your lip filler at around the six month mark or wait until most of the filler is dissolved and start from scratch. Hope this helps!

Hi there,

Yes I would say that it is time for a follow up to keep things nice and natural.
Best of luck
