Lip fillers typically last 6 to 12 months. However, it depends on your age and how fast your body breaks down calories into energy (metabolism). Younger people tend to burn calories faster, so lip fillers don’t last as long.

What happens during a lip filler procedure?
During a lip filler procedure, your specialist provider will apply a topical anesthetic to your lips. The topical anesthetic will numb your lips so you won’t feel any pain and the process is as comfortable as possible. The numbing creams often consist of lidocaine. About 15 to 30 minutes later, your lips should be numb. If you have a allergy, your specialist provider may give you a nerve block injection to numb your lips. About 15 to 30 minutes after the injection, your lips should be numb. Your specialist provider will then use a thin needle to inject lip filler into any or all parts of your lips, including the edges of your lips (vermillion border), the curve in the center of your upper lip (Cupid’s bow) and your oral commissures (corners of your mouth). You won’t feel any pain, but you may feel a pinching sensation, and your eyes may water. On average, your specialist provider will insert 1 milliliter (mL) of lip filler into your lips, which is about one-fifth of a teaspoon. The needle won’t go deeper than 2.5 millimeters (mm) into your skin. The entire procedure may take as little as 30 minutes or as long as two hours.
What are the risks of lip fillers?
Getting lip fillers poses some risks, including:
Bleeding and pain at the injection sites.
Cold sore reactivation.
Discoloration or tenderness.
Infection.
Tissue death (vascular compromise), which can occur if lip filler is injected into or around an artery.
Your lips may be of different sizes (asymmetry).
The lip filler may bleed into other areas of your face, usually toward the nose (migration).What other says about PQ- age?
