How Long Do Fillers Last? A Complete Guide

Writer: RebekahRebekah

Dermal fillers are a popular non-surgical treatment for enhancing facial contours, smoothing wrinkles, and restoring lost volume. However, one of the most common questions clients ask is: How long do fillers last? The answer varies depending on the type of filler, the area treated, and individual factors such as metabolism and lifestyle habits.

In this guide, we’ll explore everything you need to know about filler longevity and how to maintain your results.


How Long Do Fillers Last by Treatment Area?

At Hertford Cosmetics, we use high-quality dermal fillers and expert techniques to ensure natural, long-lasting results. Below, we break down the longevity of fillers in different facial areas and how to maintain your look for longer.


How Long Do Lip Fillers Last?


What Are Lip Fillers?

Lip fillers are injectable hyaluronic acid (HA) treatments designed to enhance lip volume, define shape, and smooth out fine lines around the mouth. They are ideal if you're looking to achieve fuller lips, correct asymmetry, or restore lost volume due to aging.

How Long Do Lip Fillers Last?

Lip fillers typically last 6 to 12 months. Since the lips are a very mobile area due to talking, eating, and facial expressions, the body metabolises the filler faster than in other areas.

How Long Do Cheek Fillers Last?


What Are Cheek Fillers?

Cheek fillers enhance facial contours, restore volume loss, and provide a more youthful, lifted appearance. They are an excellent option for individuals experiencing hollow or sagging cheeks due to aging or weight loss.

Cheek fillers last between 12 to 18 months. Since the cheeks are a lower-movement area, filler breakdown occurs more gradually.


Hertford Cosmetics Approach to Prolonging Cheek Filler Results:

  • We use structural HA fillers with longer-lasting properties, such as Juvederm Voluma.

  • Post-treatment, we advise avoiding strenuous exercise and excessive facial pressure for at least 48 hours.

  • Our skincare recommendations include collagen-boosting serums to maintain skin firmness.

  • We suggest annual top-ups to maintain a balanced, natural look over time.


How Long Does Jaw Filler Last?


What Is Jaw Filler?

Jawline filler enhances definition, improves symmetry, and creates a more sculpted profile. It is commonly used for facial contouring and to reduce the appearance of sagging skin.


How Long Does Jaw Filler Last?

Jaw fillers last 12 to 18 months, as the jawline experiences minimal movement compared to the lips.

Hertford Cosmetics Approach to Prolonging Jaw Filler Results:

  • We use firmer, high-density fillers like Radiesse or Juvederm Volux for longer-lasting structure.

  • We provide massage guidance to prevent lump formation and ensure even distribution.

  • Hydration and a healthy diet rich in collagen-supporting nutrients can help maintain definition.

  • Annual or 18-month refresh treatments are recommended for optimal longevity.


How Long Do Nose Fillers Last?


What Is Non-Surgical Nose Filler?

Nose fillers (liquid rhinoplasty) are used to refine and reshape the nose without surgery. This treatment can straighten bumps, lift the nasal tip, or improve symmetry.


How Long Do Nose Fillers Last?

Nose fillers last 12 to 18 months since this area experiences minimal movement, allowing the filler to remain stable for longer.


Hertford Cosmetics Approach to Prolonging Nose Filler Results:

  • We use high-precision micro-cannula techniques to ensure smooth, natural-looking results.

  • Avoiding glasses or sunglasses resting on the nose for the first few weeks helps prevent filler displacement.

  • Regular follow-ups allow us to monitor symmetry and recommend touch-ups if needed.

What Are Tear Trough Fillers?

Tear trough fillers reduce the appearance of under-eye hollows, dark circles, and tired-looking eyes by restoring lost volume.


How Long Do Tear Trough Fillers Last?

Tear trough fillers last between 9 to 12 months, as the under-eye area has delicate skin and minimal movement, allowing the filler to last longer.


Hertford Cosmetics Approach to Prolonging Tear Trough Filler Results:

  • We use soft, low-density HA fillers, which are designed specifically for the delicate under-eye area.

  • Aftercare includes gentle skincare, avoiding excessive rubbing, and using hydrating eye creams to maintain skin elasticity.

  • Annual maintenance treatments help sustain brightness and volume for a youthful look.

How to Maintain Your Filler Results


To make the most of your filler treatment, we would highly recommend:

  • Staying Hydrated: HA fillers work by attracting water, so hydration helps maintain volume.

  • Follow a Skincare Routine: Use quality - non-acid and alcohol-free skincare to support skin health and elasticity.

  • Protect Against UV Damage: Sun exposure can break down fillers faster—always wear SPF 30+.

  • Schedule Regular Touch-Ups: Small top-ups can help prolong your desired look without drastic changes.
