How Long Do Dermal Fillers Last?

In 2022, more than 13 million noninvasive procedures will be performed in the U.S., with Botox and dermal fillers topping the list. Dermal fillers involve injecting a product (usually hyaluronic acid) into the face to restore or enhance facial features.

As we age, the collagen on our faces slowly decreases. As children, our faces are more cherubic, and this facial volume is associated with youth. However, as we age, we lose the volume of our bone structure and facial fat compartments. Dermal fillers allow your doctor to directly address this loss of volume with a product that enhances the structure of your face and restores the volume you desire.

As these procedures have grown in popularity, the number of products available for injection has also increased. Each of these products varies in thickness and specific qualities. That's why choose a board-certified plastic surgeon to thoroughly evaluate your facial anatomy and select products and injection techniques to give you the natural-looking results you desire.

Non-invasive facial rejuvenation is truly an art form, and plastic surgeons rely on a variety of different products to achieve the desired look. For areas that have lost structure and support, such as the cheeks, forehead, and temples, your doctor may choose a thicker product to provide maximum support to your tissue. These injections are usually given deep into your bone for maximum effect.

The benefits of these deeper injections are that they are usually less painful, less bruising, and last longer than other types of injections. Deep injections may last up to 12 months, while newer products on the market may last up to two years.

For fine lines and wrinkles that are close to the skin, your doctor may choose a thinner product to fill in the contours and smooth the skin. These products may be metabolized more quickly and last 6-12 months. In areas of the face with more movement, such as the lips, the constant movement of the muscles breaks down and dissolves the filler at a faster rate, and the filler tends to disappear more quickly in these more active areas.

Fillers can be used all over the face to treat various areas. On top, fillers can be used in tear troughs or in the deep grooves and dark circles under the eyes to restore volume and reduce dark circles and the tired look. Fillers are often used to add volume to the cheeks and cheekbones to improve the appearance of lower wrinkles and restore the youthful appearance of the cheeks.

Dermal fillers can also be placed on the lower face and in the thinner and deeper wrinkles around the mouth and chin. These create more fullness and reduce the appearance of sagging and aging in the area.

Some patients still have a lot of youthful volumes but still use dermal fillers to enhance certain features. The most common area for dermal fillers is the lips. A variety of different fillers can be used to provide results ranging from very subtle restorations to more pronounced appearances.

Fillers are also used in liquid rhinoplasty, a non-invasive technique used to improve the appearance of the nose and its coordination with the facial anatomy. Deep fillers can be used to contour the face to create a more defined chin, jawline, or cheekbones to provide more structure and improve the shape of the face.

Non-invasive procedures such as fillers are attractive because they are quick and have minimal downtime. Your entire visit will be completed within an hour. After your injection, avoid exercise for 24 hours and remain upright for the remainder of the day.

Another benefit of fillers is immediate results. Yes, you can look in the mirror after surgery and see results instantly! Depending on the type and location of the filler, you may experience discomfort, bruising, and swelling during or after the injection. It is advised not to schedule their surgery before a large social event in case they get bruised after the injection.

Most patients are thrilled with their results, but if you're not completely satisfied, hyaluronic acid fillers are reversible. Your plastic surgeon can inject an enzyme to dissolve your fillers until you are satisfied with your facial contours.
