Most of the time, HA-based fillers (Juvederm, Restylane) last between 6 and 18 months. In some people, they last a little longer or less. Depending on the active ingredients and the brand, dermal fillers usually last between six months and three years. Many people choose to get regular injections, especially on the lips, but things can change and the patient may decide to stop injecting.
When they do, hyaluronic acid (HA), the main ingredient in most lip fillers used for its ability to absorb and hold moisture, breaks down naturally. However, the body also increases collagen production in response to injections into the lips. This protein provides a kind of “scaffold” under the surface of the lips and stays in place even when the hyaluronic acid has disappeared. For this reason, your lips may look and feel younger and healthier long after to stop injecting.
Some people considering dermal filler injections worry that new wrinkles may appear if the effect of the fillers wears off. Alternatively, patients may choose to melt the lip filler with hyaluronidase to take control of the process. This means that if you decide to stop applying lip filler injections, your lips are likely to return to their normal proportions. When the lips are negatively affected once the injections have stopped being injected, it's almost always because too much volume of filler is injected too quickly. Putting on an injectable dermal chin filler can help change the contour of the face for a more balanced appearance.
If you have a lump on your lips or an area you don't like, it's possible to partially dissolve the lip filler. If you have a filler that contains hyaluronic acid, hyaluronidase can dissolve it regardless of where the filler was placed. Dissolving a lip filler is a relatively safe and quick option for solving the complications or unwanted results of dermal lip fillers. As the filler fades and its effects wear off, previously treated features shrink and flatten, creases and wrinkles may appear, and shadows may appear.
A healthcare provider will give you instructions on how to prepare before treatment to dissolve the lip filler. Over time, your lips will decrease in volume and return to the way they looked before the filler. Before dissolving the lip filler, your healthcare provider will ask if you are allergic to bee venom. The length of chin fillers depends on the type of filler used, the treatment area, and the person's body chemistry.
