I haven't tried any actual lip plumpers, but I've pretty much done the Kylie Jenner Lip Challenge for about 1½ year now. I just use any kind of cap that can fit around my lips, like the cap from Johnsons & Johnson's Baby Oil.  Although instead of placing the cap in my general motuh area so there comes bruises on the skin area, I make sure the cap is only on the lips. I've done it about every single day and I've done it for hours at time and I've only once experienced bruising in my inner lip area that went away after about 2 days (and to be fair, I did do it for like three hours two days in a row). Although of course I would advise you to be careful. You don't have to suck too hard, as it usually doesn't make a difference in my opinion and will most likely give you more of a risk to get bruising, etc. You should definitely do your research and be cautious.

In my opinion doing it has really helped with plumping my lips. When I first began doing it, the effects would only last about an hour after, but I did experience that when I did for a longer time many days in a row, the lips would be very plump for a whole day. The permanent results come very slowly and it may even seem like nothing's happening at all when you look at your lips every day, but looking back at pictures from about two years ago, my lips are almost double as full now! I barely even bother doing it anymore, as my lips pretty much look full all the time now - only about 3 times a week, usually just out of habit or because I feel like my lip liner and lipstick looks so much better after I've done it.

As long as you make sure to exfoliate and moisturize your lips, along with a proper skincare routine for the rest of your skin and wearing sunscreen along with a lip balm with at least 20 SPF in it, I doubt that you're going to get very dry or sagging lips or wrinkles.
