If you are asking how long dermal fillers last, the honest answer is: it depends on treatment area, product strategy, and your own metabolism.
Understanding these differences helps you budget properly and avoid over-treating too soon.
Typical Longevity by Area
These are common planning ranges discussed in consultation:
Lips
Lip filler often needs earlier review because lips are a high-movement area.
Cheeks
Cheek treatments can often hold well due to deeper support placement and lower motion than lips.
Chin and Jawline
Structural areas may hold well when product selection and facial balance are planned correctly.
Nasolabial and Marionette Areas
These areas can vary depending on expression patterns, skin quality, and amount of correction needed.
Tear Trough
This area needs careful assessment and technique. Longevity and suitability depend heavily on anatomy and product choice.
Why Longevity Varies
Key factors include:
- treatment area movement,
- product rheology and placement depth,
- practitioner technique,
- hydration, lifestyle, and metabolism,
- staged versus one-off treatment planning.
Better Planning Than “Top-Up by Calendar”
Instead of fixed top-up dates, a review-led plan works better:
- Assess baseline and goals.
- Treat conservatively where needed.
- Review outcome and tissue response.
- Adjust only when clinically appropriate.
This approach usually gives more natural continuity and better long-term value.
Questions to Ask in Consultation
- Which product is best for this area and why?
- What is a realistic result for my anatomy?
- Do we treat in one session or stage it?

Frequently Asked Questions
Do fillers dissolve at the same speed in every area?
No. Movement, metabolism, product selection, and area anatomy all influence how long results remain visible.
Can I make fillers last longer?
Following aftercare guidance and using a staged treatment plan with periodic reviews usually improves consistency over time.
When should I book a review?
Most clients benefit from a review appointment after initial treatment so planning can be adjusted to outcomes and goals.
