What Happens in the Months After Lip Fillers?

The visual effects of your lip enhancement treatment can be seen immediately after your procedure.

For the first 1-3 days after your lip filler treatment, your lips will be adjusting to the fillers and some swelling may occur.

Full results of your lip filler treatment will generally be evident at their maximal best around 1-2 weeks following your procedure, once the filler has settled into the area, and all swelling has completely subsided.

At this stage, you will be able to review the completed effects of your lip filler treatment.

Overall, lip fillers last anywhere between 6-18 months.

As the filler product is comprised of hyaluronic acid, which is already present in the human body, it will be naturally broken down over time. This means that the effects of the fillers will decrease in a gradual and subtle manner.

Despite some myths, your lips will not be permanently affected by fillers; they will not be stretched, or require more fillers, or be changed long-term.

After fillers have been broken down by the body, your lips will return to the same state they were in before you had your fillers.

Most patients like to have repeat treatments every 6-9 months to maintain their initial result.

Are There Any Side Effects From Lip Fillers?

As with any procedure, lip filler injectables come with potential side effects.

However, they are minor and rare, and avoidable with diligence to proper lip filler aftercare. 

It’s unlikely you will experience them but the following post-treatment effects can be possible:

  • Post treatment redness/tenderness at the injection points. This will reduce within 1-2 hours.
  • Bruising occurs in 1 in 10 patients. This can be easily covered with makeup and will resolve in 3-7 days.
  • Minor lumps or bumps in the surrounding area. This is temporary and may be gently massaged out, as directed by your injector.

Why Is Aftercare Important?

Whatever the frequency, quantity of mls, or effect of your lip filler treatment, it’s crucial that the correct aftercare be followed.

The best way to care for your new lips and prolong the effects of your enhancement is to adhere to these guidelines.

We want you to love the results of your treatment, and proper lip filler injections aftercare will ensure the efficacy, accuracy and longevity of its effects. 

Think of it an investment; you want to maximise its value, and aftercare is your insurance.

About: Lip Enhancement

Lip filler injections work by physically filling your lips with a product comprised of hyaluronic acid, which is naturally present in the human body already. Hyaluronic acid (HA) draws water to the lips, making them plumper and fuller.

There are multiple reasons for lip enhancement.

Just like any other area of the face, your lips can become thinner through the loss of volume that occurs as you age. Lip fillers are an ideal way to address this depletion of fullness, and return your lips to their youthful state.

Or perhaps you’ve always wanted fuller, sexier, more luscious lips but weren’t naturally blessed. Lip enhancement with fillers is the perfect solution for creating a more plush, defined look for your lips.
