Why does my lip filler disappear so soon? (photos)

In some people, filler can metabolise quicker than in others and you may experience the 'swelling' (which some people prefer the look of) for longer. For you it seems as though the filler metabolises much quicker but I would try to avoid getting them re-done any sooner than three months prior to your last treatment. Have you tried Restylane - this could last a little longer than Juvederm?

You may have a high metabolism. Those who are very active in sports, cross fit and long distance running, do appear to absorb their filler at a faster rate. You might want to consider a fat transfer to your lips. Remember, initially there is swelling, so please compare your lips to your before filler photos, not after filler photos.

Most people think the filler doesn't last as long because the lips get very swollen after injection.  If you truly feel the results are not long lasting and you have compared before and after photos, then I would consider other options such as fat or a lip implant (although I tend to not like how implants look). Other fillers such as Perlane and Voluma, although typically used in the middle face, work very well in the lip in patients like you whom Restylane and Juvederm Ultra/Ultra plus just didn't seem to last.
