How Long Does Ligament Filler Last? An Honest Timeline
By Dr. IM JUNHYUNG · Updated
At a glance
| Day 0–3 | Swelling settles; shape becomes clearer |
| Week 2 | Final check of shape |
| Months | Gradual absorption; support often holds longer than lip filler |
| Top-up | Usually smaller than the first session |
What affects longevity
Product firmness, depth, movement in the area and individual metabolism all play a role.
Why the first two weeks matter
Early swelling can exaggerate the result. We judge the outcome once it settles.
Maintaining the result
Small top-ups keep support steady without building up excess volume. Your record shows exactly what was placed where.
FAQ
Will it look strange as it dissolves?
Placed conservatively, it fades gradually rather than collapsing.
Can it be removed early?
Yes — hyaluronic acid can be dissolved.
