How Long Do Fillers Last?
WHAT TO KNOW ABOUT DERMAL FILLERS FOR LASTING RESULTS
If you’ve been thinking about getting dermal fillers, you’re not alone. Injectable treatments have become one of the most popular ways to subtly enhance your natural features without surgery or downtime. Whether you’re interested in fuller lips, smoother skin, or restoring lost volume, fillers offer a customizable solution that helps you look like yourself but just a little more refreshed. One of the most common questions we hear at our Annapolis and Easton offices is: how long do fillers last?
The answer depends on a few things—your goals, the type of filler used, and how your body metabolizes the product. Let’s start with one of the most requested treatments, lip fillers.
The Natural Appeal of Lip Fillers
Lip fillers are a favorite among clients who want to balance shape, add volume, or define their lips. Have your lips thinned over time, or were you born with naturally smaller lips and want a little extra fullness? In both cases, lip fillers can give you a softer, more youthful look—without changing your overall appearance. At our practice, we take a conservative, personalized approach to lip filler. Our goal is never to make you look “done,” but rather to enhance your lips in a way that complements your face.
The lip fillers we use are made with hyaluronic acid, a substance that occurs naturally in your body and helps keep your skin hydrated and plump. Because of this, HA-based fillers blend seamlessly with your own tissues and allow for very natural-looking results. Depending on the specific product used, lip fillers typically last between six to twelve months. Some clients choose to return for maintenance at the six-month mark, while others wait longer, depending on how the filler settles and how their body processes it.
Other Popular Uses for Dermal Fillers
Beyond the lips, dermal fillers can be used in a variety of ways to rejuvenate and restore the face. One common area is the cheeks, where volume loss can cause a tired or sunken appearance. By adding structure and support to the mid-face, cheek fillers can lift and contour in a way that subtly refreshes your entire appearance.
Under-eye fillers, another popular choice, help address hollowing or dark circles that no amount of concealer can fix. Filler in this delicate area can instantly make you look more awake and vibrant.
Other treatable areas include the jawline and chin, where fillers can add definition and improve facial balance. Nasolabial folds and marionette lines, the creases that run from your nose to your mouth or mouth to your chin, can also be softened with filler, helping to smooth deep lines and restore a youthful look.
How Long Do Dermal Fillers Last?
So, how long do dermal fillers last in these areas? It varies by product and placement. Cheek and jawline fillers, for example, tend to be thicker and more robust, and can last up to 18 months or longer. Under-eye fillers often last about a year. Lip fillers typically last between 6 to 12 months, with most patients seeing results fade around the 8-month mark. Nasolabial and marionette line fillers usually last anywhere from 9 to 12 months.
Your metabolism, lifestyle, and skincare routine can all affect how long the filler lasts, but we’re here to guide you and create a schedule that works for your goals.
Subtle, Beautiful Results Without Downtime
The beauty of dermal fillers is that they offer immediate results with minimal downtime. You might experience a little swelling or bruising, but this usually subsides quickly. With gradual and subtle results, you’ll look refreshed, but people won’t be able to pinpoint exactly what changed.
