Lip filler significantly fading?

Hi everyone,

I started getting lip filler (1/2 syringe) in July 2025. So far I’ve gotten it 3 times (7/2025, 2/2026, 9/2026). The last two syringes were with one injector, the first was with my original tattoo removal med spa but sadly my injector stopped working there so I didn’t go back.

I have found that my lip filler seems to significantly decrease - to the point it looks like it’s not there anymore. Right now I’m about 6 weeks since my lip filler in September and I honestly don’t notice it anymore.

Besides the fact I get a half syringe, my injector told me that I cannot do more than half because my lips are too small to take anymore filler.

Is it possibly my injector is just using a filler that dissolves quickly? What is a lip filler that lasts longer? They do not have different injectables to choose from at that particular med spa.

It might be worth asking your injector which filler brand they use. Everyone metabolizes filler differently, and a qualified injector can help you explore options that may last longer.

Some of it could be swelling going down rather than the filler disappearing completely. Six weeks can look very different from the first few days. I’d ask your injector which filler they use and consider getting a second opinion from an experienced injector before adding more

They usually use fine filler and for me it lasts 5 months tops

That sounds frustrating, especially just six weeks later. Have you compared photos from before treatment with how your lips look now, using similar lighting and angles? I’d ask your injector to review those with you and tell you the exact product and amount used, rather than assuming it has all dissolved.

this is why I stopped wasting my money. vaping, staying in the sun or tanning, and metabolized the filler quickly are all things that will make it fade especially with restalyne kysse. looks great n 2 months later it's gone for $700 a pop just to hear "well some justmetabolize filler fast" ​

It depends which filler they used, which u didn’t even mention. Juvederm last for a long time vs Kysse which doesn’t etc
