Dermal fillers can restore volume, soften lines, and refine certain features without surgery. However, results do not last the same amount of time in every treatment area. Facial movement, product selection, placement, metabolism, and the quantity injected can all affect how long Restylane® remains visible.
Located in Williamsville, NY, Smooth Solutions Medical Aesthetics provides injectable treatments for adults throughout the Buffalo area. Board-certified family physician Dr. Jack G. Bertolino uses products from the Restylane family to address concerns involving the lips, cheeks, facial folds, and chin.
How Long Does Restylane Last in the Lips?
Lip filler commonly lasts around 6 months, although individual results vary. The lips move constantly while you speak, eat, drink, and make facial expressions, which may cause filler in this area to fade sooner than products placed in less mobile regions.
Restylane Silk is designed for subtle augmentation and the correction of lines around the mouth. It may be appropriate for patients who want smoother borders, modest fullness, or improvement in upper lip lines.
How Long Does Restylane Last in the Cheeks?
Restylane Lyft results in the cheeks may remain noticeable for up to 12 months, although duration varies. Filler used in the midface is often placed in deeper tissue planes and is exposed to less repetitive movement than lip products.
How Long Does Restylane Last in Smile Lines?
Restylane Refyne and Restylane Defyne may improve certain facial lines for up to 12 months. These products are commonly used in nasolabial folds, which are the creases extending from the sides of the nose toward the corners of the mouth.
Refyne can soften moderate-to-severe folds, while Defyne is intended for deeper ones. Both are formulated to provide support while allowing natural movement when you smile or make other expressions.
How Long Does Restylane Last in the Chin?
Results from chin filler may remain visible for up to 12 months. Restylane Defyne and Lyft are approved for chin augmentation in adults with mild-to-moderate retrusion.
When Should You Consider a Touch-Up?
You do not necessarily need to wait until your results are completely gone to get a touch-up. Some patients return when they first notice that volume or definition is beginning to decrease. Periodic maintenance treatments may help preserve the desired appearance as the initial effects gradually fade.
