How Long Do Dermal Fillers Last? A Guide by Area and Filler Type

How Long Do Dermal Fillers Last? A Guide by Area and Filler Type

One of the most common questions we hear at Aesthetic Center of Excellence is:
“How long will my filler last?”

It’s a great question—and the answer isn’t one-size-fits-all. The longevity of your dermal filler depends on several factors: the area treated, the specific product used, your metabolism, and how your body responds to the filler over time.

At ACE, we believe in helping you make informed decisions by sharing honest, transparent guidance. Whether you’re new to filler or planning your next touch-up, here’s what you can expect when it comes to how long your results will last.


Longevity by Area: What to Expect

Different areas of the face experience different levels of movement, volume loss, and tissue type—all of which affect how long your filler lasts.

Here’s a general breakdown:

  • Lips6 to 12 months
    The lips are highly mobile, which means filler in this area tends to break down faster. We use flexible, natural-looking formulas that allow for expression without compromising longevity.
  • Cheeks12 to 24 months
    Because the mid-face doesn’t move as much as the mouth or eyes, cheek filler tends to last longer. It also provides structural support, helping lift and contour the face.
  • Under-eyes (Tear Troughs)12 to 18 months
    This delicate area requires precise placement and often a softer filler. When done correctly, results can be long-lasting and very natural.
  • Chin & Jawline12 to 24 months
    These areas benefit from firmer, more structural fillers that can hold their shape and volume longer—great for creating a defined profile.
  • Nasolabial Folds / Marionette Lines9 to 15 months
    These expressive areas are common targets for filler but may require more frequent maintenance due to facial movement and tissue elasticity.
  • Hands or Temples12+ months
    Filler can be used to restore volume in areas beyond the face, and with proper placement, these less-mobile areas can maintain results for over a year.

Disclaimer: The timelines listed are general averages based on product type and treatment area. Individual results may vary depending on factors like metabolism, lifestyle, and filler placement. Your provider will offer personalized guidance during your consultation.


Not All Are Created Equal

At Aesthetic Center of Excellence, we use only FDA-approved, premium-quality dermal fillers—chosen for their safety, performance, and suitability for specific concerns. These include:

  • Juvederm® – Known for its smooth consistency and versatility, often used in lips, cheeks, and folds.
  • Restylane® – Offers a wide range of formulations, including options designed for fine lines or deep structural support.
  • RHA® Collection – A newer generation of resilient fillers that adapt to facial movement, ideal for dynamic areas.
  • Revanesse® Versa™ – A soft, natural-looking filler with minimal swelling—especially popular for lips and smile lines.

During your consultation, your provider will help select the best product for your goals, skin type, and lifestyle.


How Often Will I Need Touch-Ups?

Touch-up timing is personal. Some clients return annually; others come in every 6 to 9 months for subtle maintenance. What matters most is how you feel about your results and when you’re ready for a refresh.

To make maintenance easy and stress-free:

  • We offer multi-syringe pricing packages
  • Payment plans are available through Cherry and CareCredit
  • Complimentary consultations are always available so we can adjust your plan as needed
