How to Fix Displaced Evolence? What should I do about the Evolence that has floated up and is on the bone under my eye?

A: camouflage displacement by filling in around Evolence

There is no way to remove Evolence since it is a collagen based filler. (They hyaluronic acid fillers like Restylane and Perlane can be dissolved but not Evolence). Your best bet is to try to camouflage it by filling in around the bump or augmenting below the fullness so it is not as noticeable.

How is Evolence Different from Restylane or Juvederm Injections? How is this new filler Evolence different from the HA fillers we know and love, i.e. Restylane or Juvederm?

A: evolence is collagen, restylane/juvederm are hyaluronic acid

Unlike Restylane and Juvederm which are made from hyaluronic acid, Evolence is made from collagen and that collagen is derived from pigs. Pig (porcine) collagen has been used for many, many years as an injectable filler as the collagen found in pigs is very similar to that of humans. That said, some people prefer not to use an animal based product for religious (muslim or jewish) or ideological (vegetarian or animal-rights) reasons.

The advantage to Evolence is that the price may be lower and that injection related bruising and swelling are reportedly less than with other fillers. The main disadvantage is that if you get a lump with Evolence, it can take months to dissipate.

Restylane and Juvederm are more costly but if you do get a lump or unevenness, it can be corrected with an enzyme called hyaluronidase with smoothes out or dissolves the hyaluronic acid filler.

I do use all of the above mentioned fillers in my practice, but much less Evolence than Restylane or Juvederm.

Evolence Vs. Juvederm: Which is Better? Is Evolence The Dermal filler really made from PIGS? I am a bit uncomfortable with the idea of pig remains in my face and lips. Are there problems unique to this product that don't exist with other fillers? What is the advantage over Juvederm? A doctor in my area, Raleigh, NC offers Evolence injections for a lot less than I'm paying another office for Juvederm. I like the lower price but I'm a little nervous.

A: both are good but I use more restylane and juvederm
