It slowly goes down with time but can last for longer than a year. In fact biopsies of areas that have hadFacial Fillersinjections have shown that it can last up to 3 years or more. But the volume that remains later on is no more than 30% of the original volume that was injected. The area that is injected also determines how long it lasts. In more mobile areas, the effect is less and goes away faster.

Prevention is the key to bruising and bleeding. You should always stop high dose vitamin E, anti-inflammatories, aspirin, herbal medication, supplements and any blood thinners 2 weeks before and after your injection or procedures.
These are elements that affect your body’s ability to clot your blood. Hence, if you are on these things during the time of your injection, you will have more of a chance for bleeding and bruising.
I also never suggest Arnica. I recently did a literature search and found that there is no scientific evidence to support Arnica’s ability to prevent bleeding and bruising. In fact, there were actually more evidence of adverse, or bad, effects from Arnica than good effects.
Genetics play a part and some people are just more prone to bruising.
In terms of the size or your lips, you can do something to correct that. The key here is to choose the right surgeon. You want someone that has a great understanding of facial aesthetics or what makes a face beautiful or not. I have discovered a theory on aesthetics that no one has been able to think of before. Our current theories, prior to my discoveries, have recently been found to be flawed.
If you are dissatisfied with the size and shape of your lips you can have an injection Lip Augmentation to reduce the size of it. Hyaluronidase is an enzyme that can take away Restylane. But you have to go to a surgeon that has experience with it to have a successful outcome.
Lip Augmentation can be done with fat injections as well.

There are many options depending on how you really look. Lip Augmentation in a specific way can change the shape of your lip dramatically and can be done with Facial Fillers like restylane, juvederm and fat injections which can last years. Directed removal of portions of your lip can help as well and this can be discussed when you talk with your surgeon. Having a doctor with a keen sense of facial beauty is key. I discovered a Facial Beauty that has made a significant impact on finding out the answers that we have all been looking for called the Circles of Prominence.

There are many options for Lip Augmentation, including filling and surgical approaches. Filling up the lips is perhaps the best way to rejuvenate the lips. Careful positioning of the filler substance within the lips will bring more youth to the lips and give it that sexy look. Fillers are a short term option and fat injections offer more long term correction.
Surgical procedures can remove small amounts of skin and can also be used to move around the substance of the lips inside your mouth to augment your lips in a beautiful way. But all of these mean nothing if your surgeon doesn’t have the right goals in mind.
Facial Beauty or the understanding of facial beauty is essential for surgeons to formulate these goals that we reach for. In the lips, your upper lip should really never be too much bigger than 1/2 the height of the lower lip. Also, the pucker created by the lip should be a certain size in the upper and lower lips.
Lip Augmentation can be done with fat injections as well.

Facial Fillerslike Restylane and Juvederm are really for filling up your lips. Botox can give a little element of filling by relaxing the lip muscles to allow them to volumize through the relaxation. But this effect is subtle. If you really want to volumize your lips, go with a filler. One thing you should know is that botox can again relax the lip muscles, but a benefit includes decreasing the lip lines through the muscle relaxation.
Fat Transfer are another option to fill up the lips and when done right can last for years. Once the fat finds a blood supply it will live like normal tissue. Technique is crucial.

Silicone and Artecoll are permanent type lip fillers. This is good in the sense that it will last a long time. However, using these materials does not leave a lot of room for discrepancies. If you don’t like the results, you have to surgically remove these fillers and they don’t go away on their own.
Also, these fillers have a chance of getting infected, which can lead to a lot of problems. Many times also, these fillers don’t feel natural and can be felt in the lips. Fat is a great alternative for permenant filling and Lip augmentation. When done right, they can last for years and up to ten years or more. Also, they are a lot more likely to feel natural.
Fat takes on the feeling of the structure that it is placed next to. If placed next to bone it will feel like bone. If placed next to muscle it will feel like muscle. One thing is very important, you should go to a surgeon that understands aesthetics. Facial beauty and the theories that explain it are central in forming the goals that surgeons strive for. When you build a house you need architectural plans for the house to get a great result. This same principle applies to cosmetic surgery, a set of rules or theory to explain beauty is central to getting a great result.
Other ways to augment the lips are through goretex. Or there are a variety of surgical procedures, lip lifts, lip advancements that can enhance your lips in a permanent manner.

Collagen injections have largely been replaced by Hyaluronic Acids such as Restylane, Juvederm. The reason for this is that hyaluronic acids last longer. Collagen Lip Augmentation lasts 3-6 months and the hyaluronic acids can last from 6months to a year. This has been proven in head to head studies comparing them. Also, collagen injections usually require a skin test and time to wait for the results. There are some collagen injectables that don’t require a skin test and they have gained some popularity but not as much as hyaluronic acids. Importantly, you should go to someone who knows aesthetics and facial beauty. This will avoid results like the Octa-Mom, Meg Ryan, Heidi from the Hills, Lindsay Lohan, Brittany Murphy, etc. The reason for this is that our understanding of aesthetics is not solid at this point. We really don’t know how large the upper and lower lip should be.
Fat can also be used in the lips and when done right can last for years. I came up with an exciting volumizing technique below.

The upper lips should be smaller than the lower lip always. In fact, the upper lip should be about 1/2 the size as the lower lips to maintain the correct balance within the face. The puckering that you create with lip augmentation should also be very specific. The upper lip puckering should be in the central 1/4 or about an iris width. The lower lip pucker should be about 3 iris widths. The height of the upper and lower lips should be about 1/2 and 1 iris widths respectively.
Lip Augmentation can be done with fat injections as well.

There are studies out there that the use ofLaser Resurfacingand other Facial Fillers are safe. Although silicone injections are not prevalent in the US, this same principle applies. The lasers and Intense pulse light do not penetrate deep enough to effect the fillers including silicone fillers. Silicone fillers are also more resilient than other dermal fillers such as restylane, juvederm, etc.
Here is a live demonstration of my use of a co2 laser and laser resurfacing.
Consulting a Board Certified Facial Plastic Surgeon would be something that I would recommend. We specialize in the face and are highly qualified to help you with this.

This patient had treatment somewhere else and I was just answering a question for this patient.
WithLaser Resurfacingit takes time for the collagen to repair and help decrease more wrinkles or so most people say. In my experience, the results that you get the first month is likely the most noticeable and after that the results are more subtle with the “naked eye”. When done on a more aggressive scale, you will notice more improvement more early on such as a month or two. 12 months is a little long in my opinion to notice much more difference. In terms of the lip lines, you might want to approach it more aggressively with the laser. Dermabrasion can also work wonders here.
In addition, you may want to consider plumping up your lips. A lot of the lip lines are created due to a loss of volume in the lips and the area around your mouth. Fat Transfer and fillers are great at creating this volume in the long and short term respectively.
