Some people are born with thin lips, while others may experience loss of volume in that facial area due to the natural aging process. Whatever the reason, lip filler injections offer a very effective and safe way of adding structure, shape, and volume to your mouth.
If you are considering a lip filler injection, here are some ways you could benefit:
- Enhanced and more youthful appearance
- Natural results will boost your self confidence
- Little to no side effects because most lip fillers, such as Juvederm, are composed of hyaluronic acid, which is a naturally occuring substance in the body.
- Immediate results
- No downtime

5 Ways to Make The Results of Your Lip Filler Injections Last Longer
Before looking for ways on how to prolong the life of your lip fillers, you must have realistic expectations of how long they’re likely to last naturally. Dermal fillers, such as Juvederm, won’t give you a permanently plump pout. Instead, you can expect the results to last up to 12 months.
While there is no magical way to make your fillers last longer, there are some things that can help your body absorb the filler faster, therefore reducing your results. By avoiding these things, you can enjoy your beautiful pout for longer.
Here are 5 tips to make your lip filler results last longer:
1. Follow Your Plastic Surgeon’s Aftercare Advice
Because there is very little downtime required for lip filler treatments, it can be tempting to carry on with your normal activities straight away. However, your plastic surgeon will give you specific aftercare advice to follow, and it’s important to listen to this.
Why? Instructions to avoid exercise and alcohol for at least 24 hours following the treatment will lower your chances of any bruising or swelling. Taking care of your lips from the beginning will give them a chance to look good for longer.
HOW TO ACHIEVE THE BEST LIP FILLER RESULTS
2. Avoid Too Much Sun Exposure
While it’s always a good idea to wear SPF every day and limit your time in the sun between the hottest hours of the day (11am-3pm), you should be more aware of this after a lip filler treatment. High exposure to UV rays can cause certain types of fillers to break down faster, which will lead to your body absorbing them sooner than you may like.
Going on holiday after a lip filler treatment? Make sure to always put on a high SPF, wear a wide brimmed hat to cover your face and lips, and enjoy time in the shade.
3. Control Your Stress Levels
Stress can have a huge impact on our health, but you may not have considered its effect on lip fillers. The extra hormones your body produces when you are stressed can actually cause your lip filler to breakdown faster, leading to repeat treatments more often.
Find ways to lower your stress levels: Of course, you can’t avoid all of life’s stressful situations, but finding different ways to manage your reactions to these events can help you maintain your health (and lip volume).
4. Eat a Balanced Diet
We all love to indulge now and again, but too much junk food can actually cause inflammation in the body, which in turn could cause your dermal fillers to break down faster. It is recommended that you keep your skin as healthy as possible, which means eating plenty of fruits and vegetables, as well as healthy fats and oils found in fish and nuts.

5. Stick To Your Top-Up Appointments
If you don’t want the size of your lips to fluctuate too much, then you should keep on top of your filler maintenance schedule. If you go the full 12 months without a top-up, then your lips are likely to return to their original shape and size - which makes the results more noticeable one they’re injected again.
Want to give the illusion that your lips are naturally plump? Talk to your aesthetician or plastic surgeon about when is the best time to visit for a top-up. If you do it regularly, you may even require less amount of filler to be injected each time.
