Why don't my lip fillers last?

8 tips for making your fillers last longer

To maximise the lifespan of your lip fillers, consider these effective strategies:

1. Follow your aftercare instructions carefully

After having lip fillers, it is important to follow your doctor's aftercare guidelines strictly:

• Avoid strenuous activity: This helps to prevent increased blood flow in the face, which can cause swelling or disturb the placement of the filler.
• Refrain from smoking: Smoking can impair the healing process and lead to poorer results.
• Avoid drinking alcohol: Alcohol can increase swelling and bruising, which affects the healing process.
• Avoid blood-thinning medication: Unless prescribed, avoid medicines that can increase bruising and bleeding.
• Stay away from saunas and avoid direct heat: Heat can break down the filler prematurely and shorten its lifespan.

2. Choose a clinic with a good reputation

Your experience begins with choosing the right clinic. Choose one where the experience speaks for itself and where skilled specialists use top-quality lip fillers. A reputable clinic knows how to apply fillers with precision to give results that are both natural and long-lasting. With Adoreal you can find, and get in touch with, the best clinics.

3. Plan regular top-up injections

Regular injection treatments can significantly extend the lifespan of your fillers. Top-up injections allow for adjustments and improvements before the filler has broken down completely, which maintains consistency and appearance.

4. Handle with care

In the days after your treatment, be careful with the skin around your lips. Avoid touching or massaging the area excessively to prevent the filler from moving or being absorbed too quickly.

5. Avoid sun exposure

UV exposure can impair the quality of your fillers by breaking down collagen and accelerating the ageing process. Use a broad-spectrum sunscreen and wear a hat when you are out in the sun to protect your skin and extend the lifespan of your fillers.

6. Drink plenty of water

Drinking enough water is key to maintaining the skin's elasticity and health, which in turn supports how long the filler's effect lasts. Drink plenty of water daily to keep the skin plump and elastic.

7. Reduce stress

High stress levels can lead to inflammation and accelerated ageing, which can affect how long your aesthetic treatments last. Take part in stress-reducing activities such as yoga, meditation or regular physical exercise.

8. Do not fly for at least a week

The pressure changes experienced during flights can affect the stability of your fillers shortly after treatment. Avoid air travel to make sure your fillers settle properly and last longer.
