If you're considering taking a break from facial fillers, you can do so without compromising your appearance. The hyaluronic acid fillers, such as Juvederm, Voluma, Volbella, Vollure, and Restylane, which are the most commonly used temporary fillers, will slowly dissolve and leave you looking your natural beauty. Fillers fill gaps and lines while they're present, and slowly dissolve over time (12 to 24 months, depending on which filler was used), and you end up where you were before. Of course, as we age, we lose our own volume (fat, muscle, and facial bone), so more filling will be needed to get the same results as when we were younger.
But this is due to normal aging, not the use of any type of filler. When you stop receiving lip filler injections, your lips will gradually return to their natural size and shape. How long this takes depends on the type of lip filler you have applied, the number of sessions, the time you have been highlighting your lips and the total volume used. Dermal filler is not a surgical procedure and the results won't last forever.
If you don't want the dermal filler to be reversed, keep in mind that over time the filler will disappear and your face will return to the way it was before the injections. This reference treatment in non-surgical facial rejuvenation restores volume and collagen to provide firmer skin and defined facial contours with long-lasting results and age-appropriate. It also restores volume in the temple area to provide structure and support to facial tissues. Roskies is a facial plastic and reconstructive surgeon and medical director of SpaMedica in Toronto.
Over time, as facial movement increases in areas such as the lips or cheeks, the filler breaks down and dissolves at a faster rate. Lip filler injections not only enhance the lips, but also improve the smile and lateral profile and balance facial proportions. The treatment even refreshes the eyes and lifts the inner part of the eyebrows, for a natural-looking facial rejuvenation.
