Bring Your Lips Back to Life After Dissolving Filler

Dissolving your lip filler doesn’t have to leave you feeling deflated, literally. Many people worry that their lips will look shriveled or smaller than before after filler dissolution, but that’s not the full story. If your lips seem less plump post-dissolving, it’s more about hydration loss than permanent volume change.

Let’s break down why this happens and how you can restore your lips to their healthy, hydrated state.

Why Do Lips Look Shriveled After Dissolving Filler?

When you dissolve hyaluronic acid (HA) filler, you’re not just removing volume, you’re also losing the extra hydration that the filler provided. HA is a naturally occurring molecule in the body that attracts and retains water. It’s what gave your lips that soft, pillowy feel while the filler was in place.

Once the HA filler is gone, your body needs time to replenish its own hyaluronic acid levels. This temporary hydration drop can make your lips look less plump, but it’s not permanent. Your body will naturally restore its balance, usually within a few weeks.

In the meantime, the key to restoring your lips is boosting hydration both in-clinic and at-home.

How to Rehydrate and Restore Your Lips

1. In-Clinic Solutions: Baccio Lip Booster + NeoLip

For an instant hydration boost without adding volume, Baccio Lip Booster and NeoLip treatments are the perfect combo. These treatments work together to:

• Deeply hydrate the lips

• Rebuild collagen for smoother, firmer skin

• Improve lip texture and elasticity

• Reduce fine lines around the mouth

Baccio Lip Booster uses nanoencapsulated Vitamin B12 and hyaluronic acid to restore hydration and promote lip health, while NeoLip works to tighten and plump the lips naturally.

2. At-Home Hydration: ZO Growth Factor Eye Serum

To maintain moisture between treatments, apply ZO Growth Factor Eye Serum to your lips nightly. While it’s designed for the delicate skin around the eyes, its hydrating and reparative properties work just as well for the lips. This nightly ritual will:

• Replenish lost hydration

• Repair the skin barrier

• Keep lips soft and smooth

Pairing in-clinic treatments with at-home care ensures that your lips stay plump and healthy as your body restores its natural HA levels.

How Long Does It Take for Lips to Bounce Back?

The timeline for lip restoration varies, but most people notice swelling subsides and returns to normal within 2 weeks after dissolving. From this point, you can assess if another session is needed. Maintaining hydration, lip care, and a proper skincare routine is crucial during this time.

Should You Refill After Dissolving?

Once your lips are back to their natural state, you might wonder whether to get filler again. It’s entirely up to you! Some people love their refreshed, natural lips, while others opt for a more balanced, subtle refill. If you decide to go for filler again, starting with a conservative amount ensures the most natural looking results.
