Lip filler results are visible immediately after treatment, but the final look is seen once initial swelling resolves.
Typical timeline
Right after treatment
Lips look fuller and may appear slightly more swollen than the final result. Mild redness or small needle marks may be visible.
First 24 to 72 hours
Swelling is most noticeable in this period and then starts to decrease.
1 to 2 weeks
Swelling and any bruising usually resolve. The filler settles and the lips feel more like your own tissue.
Follow up
In some cases, a follow up visit is scheduled to evaluate the result and discuss possible touch ups if part of your plan.
How Long Do Lip Fillers Last
The durability of lip fillers depends on the product used, your metabolism, and how animated your lips are when you speak or express.
On average
Lip fillers often last several months and up to a year in many patients
Some people metabolize filler faster and may prefer more frequent touch ups
Others maintain their results with less frequent maintenance after building a good base
During your Montreal lip filler consultation, we will discuss typical duration and how often you might want to plan follow up treatments.
