Are lip fillers right for you? 

Lip fillers are for individuals who want to achieve greater lip fullness, improve lip symmetry, or better define their lip shape. Whether you have thin lips due to sun damage or natural age, fillers can provide a subtle, natural-looking enhancement. Of course, ideal candidates should be in good health and have realistic expectations about their results. A consultation with a professional like Dr. Kim is one of the best ways to determine whether lip fillers can meet your aesthetic goals.

How long do dermal fillers last? 

So, how long do dermal fillers last? The longevity of your lip fillers depends on several factors, including the type of product used, your body's metabolism, and the amount injected. Generally, you can expect results to last for up to one year. For example, fillers like JUVÉDERM VOLBELLA and Restylane Kysse are designed to offer durable results, often lasting around 12 months. Dr. Kim will discuss the expected duration for your chosen filler during your consultation. 

Getting the most from lip augmentation 

To make your lip filler results last as long as possible, it's important to follow proper aftercare and adopt a healthy lifestyle. Here are a few tips to get started:  

• Follow aftercare instructions: Dr. Kim will provide specific guidelines for post-treatment care, such as avoiding strenuous exercise and extreme heat for a short period. 
• Stay hydrated: Many dermal fillers work by attracting water, so staying hydrated can help maintain their volumizing effect. 
• Protect your skin from the sun: UV exposure can break down the filler more quickly. Use a high-SPF lip balm to protect your lips from the sun.
