Typical Length for Bum Fillers

The exact longevity of buttock injections can vary between patients depending on several factors, including metabolism, lifestyle and weight fluctuations. In general, HYAcorp dermal fillers for the buttocks are not permanent – our practitioners find they usually remain visible for  around twelve months. 

Factors Affecting Bum Filler Longevity

Your Body’s Metabolism

Individual differences in metabolism can impact the speed at which buttock fillers are broken down by the body. Your metabolism can vary depending on several factors like your age and  general health.

Lifestyle Choices

Several lifestyle factors can affect the longevity of your results, including nicotine consumption, diet and exercise. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle to support a stable weight as well as avoiding nicotine can ensure that you get the most out of buttock injections.

Weight Gain or Loss

Weight fluctuations can impact the appearance of your results by affecting the amount of fat in and around the buttock areas. For consistent results, it is recommended that you are at your ideal weight prior to treatment, and that you are able to maintain your weight after filler injections. 

Tips for Prolonging Your Bum Filler

Maintain a Healthy Lifestyle

As mentioned, weight fluctuations can impact your results and their longevity. For this reason, engaging in regular exercise and sticking to a healthy diet can help to keep a stable weight and prolong the results of buttock fillers.

Follow Proper Aftercare Instructions

After you have buttock injections, you will be provided with aftercare instructions that you must adhere to to prevent complications and ensure proper healing. These include avoiding strenuous exercise and sitting on the buttocks for prolonged periods of time for the first week after treatment.

Therefore, maintaining a stable weight is essential for prolonging the desired effects of buttock fillers.

Bum Filler Longevity FAQs

Can I Sit Down After Bum Filler?

After treatment, you should avoid sitting down or placing excess pressure for long periods of time until the filler has settled into its position, and the injection sites have healed. 

Does Losing Weight Affect Bum Filler?

Weight fluctuations can affect the appearance of buttock injections by affecting the amount of fat deposits in the buttocks and surrounding areas. You may lose some volume in the buttocks if you lose weight, causing the buttocks to be less pronounced. For best results, undergo bum filler when you are already at your ideal weight that you are able to maintain. 

How Many Sessions of Bum Filler Injections Do I Need?

You should only require a single session of buttock injections initially. Only 100ml of filler can be injected per session, so an extra session will be needed on a different day should you want a larger quantity of filler. After the effects of your filler wear off, you may wish to undergo maintenance sessions to prolong the results.
