How Long Do Lip Fillers Last?

You’ve made the leap — or you’re seriously thinking about it. Lip fillers are one of the most requested cosmetic treatments for enhancing natural beauty. But how long will those plump, hydrated results actually last?


Whether you’re new to filler or considering switching providers, it’s important to understand what impacts the longevity of lip filler and how to maintain your results for as long as possible.

What’s the Average Duration of Lip Fillers?

Most hyaluronic acid-based lip fillers last between 6 to 12 months. However, this range can vary significantly depending on:

  • The product used
  • Your metabolism
  • How much filler was injected
  • Your lifestyle habits
  • And how frequently you move your lips (yes — talking and smiling matter)

Some patients may notice subtle softening around the 4–6 month mark, while others enjoy their results for up to a yearbefore needing a touch-up.

Which Filler Brands Last the Longest?

At The Pur Health, we only carry premium, FDA-approved fillers known for safety and natural-looking results.


The longevity of a filler depends on formulation and density:

  • Juvederm Ultra / Ultra Plus: ~6–12 months
  • Restylane Kysse: ~6–9 months (designed for flexibility and softness)
  • Belotero Balance: ~6 months (great for fine lines and subtle enhancement)
  • Revanesse Lips+: ~9–12 months (smooth, balanced results)

We don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all filler. Instead, we tailor your treatment based on your lip structure, volume goals, and movement patterns.

Does Filler Last Longer the Second Time?

In many cases, yes. With consistent treatment over time:

  • Lip tissue can hold shape longer
  • You may need less product at follow-up
  • Touch-ups can extend your result window without starting from scratch

We often recommend a small maintenance session at 6 months, which may prolong your results for up to another 6 months or more.

What Makes Lip Filler Break Down Faster?

Here’s what can shorten your lip filler results:

  • Fast metabolism (especially in athletes or high-cardiovascular individuals)
  • Smoking or excessive sun exposure
  • Frequent movement (think public speaking, vigorous kissing, etc.)
  • Extreme heat (like steam rooms, saunas, or overuse of hot compresses)

  • Extreme heat (like steam rooms, saunas, or overuse of hot compresses)

What Happens When Filler Wears Off?

As filler metabolizes, your lips return to their baseline — they won’t look stretched, saggy, or worse than before.

We ensure results look natural whether you continue filler long-term or decide to take a break. No pressure, no permanence — that’s the beauty of hyaluronic acid.

When Should I Book My Next Appointment?

We recommend:

  • Reviewing your results at 6 months
  • Scheduling a consultation at 9–12 months if you’re unsure
  • Coming in sooner if asymmetry, uneven fading, or volume drop occurs
