The duration of lip injections depends on several factors, including the type of hyaluronic acid used, the patient's metabolism, and her lifestyle. On average, the results of lip injections last between 6 and 12 months .
Hyaluronic acid is a substance naturally present in the body. Over time, it is gradually absorbed by the body. In some people, this absorption may be somewhat faster, particularly in cases of high metabolism or intense physical activity.
Regarding the touch-up , it is not mandatory, but it is sometimes recommended. A touch-up can be considered 4 to 6 weeks after the first injection , once the product has fully stabilized and the swelling has completely disappeared. It allows for:
-
correct a slight asymmetry
-
adjust the volume
-
smooth out a small irregularity
The touch-up is always done after a medical evaluation. It is only performed if the doctor deems it necessary to optimize the result.
To maintain beautiful lips over time, it is advisable to renew the injections once a year , with appropriate quantities, in order to avoid overloading and to preserve a natural result.
