If you’ve recently had a lip filler treatment or you’re thinking about booking your first appointment, you’re probably wondering—how long will the results last? While lip fillers aren’t permanent, there are easy ways to keep that perfect pout looking fresh for as long as possible. At Beauty Shot Medical Clinic in Woodbridge, Ontario, we specialize in helping clients enjoy longer-lasting, natural-looking results.
With expert care and a few simple changes to your routine, you can make the most of your treatment and extend the life of your lip fillers.
Before Your Appointment: Set Yourself Up for Success
A little prep goes a long way. Here’s how to get your lips ready:
- Hydrate, hydrate, hydrate: Drink lots of water in the days leading up to your appointment. Hydrated skin helps fillers settle better.
- Avoid alcohol and blood thinners: Stay away from alcohol, aspirin, and ibuprofen for 24–48 hours before your treatment to reduce bruising.
- Skip harsh treatments: No chemical peels or laser treatments on your face a week before your appointment.
Aftercare Matters: What to Do Right After Treatment
What you do in the first 48 hours is key to lip filler longevity.
- Ice, but gently: Apply an ice pack to reduce swelling—but don’t press too hard.
- No touching or massaging: Let the filler settle naturally. Touching your lips too much can shift the product.
- Sleep smart: Try sleeping on your back with your head slightly elevated.
- Skip the gym for a couple of days: Heavy exercise can increase swelling and impact results.
- Avoid hot environments: Steer clear of saunas and hot tubs for at least 48 hours.
How to Maintain Lip Fillers: Everyday Habits That Help
Once the initial healing is done, these small changes can make a big difference.
- Stay hydrated: Fillers love water. Drinking enough fluids keeps your lips plump.
- Use a hydrating lip balm: Protect your lips daily. We recommend you purchase a hydrating lip balm for fillers to lock in moisture.
- Avoid smoking: Smoking can break down filler faster and cause fine lines around the mouth.
- Eat a healthy diet: Vitamins C and E support your skin and filler longevity.
- Protect with SPF: Lips can get sun damage too. Always apply lip balm with sunscreen.
- Skip harsh lip products: Choose lipsticks and skincare made for sensitive skin or shop lip filler-safe skincare.
Touch-Ups and Timing: When to Book Again
Most lip fillers last between 6 to 12 months. But that doesn’t mean you need to wait for them to completely fade before your next appointment.
- “We usually recommend a touch-up every 6–9 months to keep your results looking their best,” says Irene Soni, R.N., BScN, the owner and advanced injector at Beauty Shot Medical Clinic.
- You can book a lip filler touch-up when you notice a slight decrease in volume or definition.
- Thinking about getting started? Schedule a lip filler consultation with one of our experienced team members to discuss your goals.
Insider Secrets to Long-Lasting Results
Want to go the extra mile? Here are some bonus tips straight from the pros:
- “Choose an injector who uses high-quality, medically approved products,” says Irene. “Technique matters just as much as the product itself.”
- Consider layering treatments gradually over time rather than overfilling in one session.
- Take care of your overall skin health—good skin supports better filler results.
- Buy a lip filler aftercare kit to make sure you have everything you need from day one.
Finding the Right Team
