Why Does Restylane Swell So Much More Than Juvederm? I had restylane in the past for my lips and had a terrible time with swelling. The most recent treatment I switched doctors and she used Juvederm. I didn't swell at all and love the results. Why did I have so much unattractive swelling with restylane in the past? And why would a doctor choose restylane over juvederm?

A: Swelling after Restylane or Juvederm

I have seen no difference in the swelling caused by either Restylane or Judederm. I believe injection technique and the amount of product used make the most difference. I try to limit the number of times that that I put the needle in the lips to 2, because I have found tha the trauma of multiple pokes is the biggest cause of swelling.

Why Are Veins Appearing After Restylane in Nasolabial Folds and Nasogenian Grooves? Earlier today, I had some restylane put into my nasolabial folds and nasogenian grooves. On the left side of my nose (but not on the right) I am getting purplish splotches that follow vein patterns in areas that the needle didn't touch all the way up the side of the nose. What might be going on and how long might it last? Thank you.

A: Blotchy Skin after dermal filler requires attention

Any sign of skin blotchiness after filler injection should require immediate examination by the physician injector. This may be a sign of compromise of skin circulation and should be addressed with warm compress, and possible consideration of nitroglycerin patch and hyaluronidase injection (if hyaluronic acid filler such as Restylane, Juvederm, or Perlane is injected). This is one of the reasons that consumers should never shop on price of filler injection alone; you must be confident that the physician injector is competent to intervene in case a unexpected complication happens.

Restylane Vs. Juvederm for Plumping Lips? I'm 22 years old and i'm getting into modeling. signed up with a huge modeling agency this month and i'm very keen to get lips like maybe close to angelina or scarlet johanson. my lips are normal sized not thin at all. should i opt for restylane or juvederm? please help!! i heard restylane lipp is specially for the lips and even juvederm ultra plus is for lip volume? please tell me which one to go for to specifically increase volume plumpness.

A: Restylane L and Juvederm XC both will do fine for lip augmentation

Lip augmentation requires more artistry and skills compared to nasolabial fold correction. Thus, picking the right aesthetic board-certified physician is the most important decision. Ask for Restylane-L or Juvederm-XC as both now contain lidocaine and involve much less pain and discomfort. Remember, the first time you get lip augmentation, less is better. You can always go back and get a bit more. Swelling for the first couple days is to be expected and make good use of ice compress.

	“Restylane & Juvederm Fillers Are...” I had one syringe of Restylane injected into my nasolabial folds. This was on top of one syringe of Juvederm two weeks prior. (The Juvederm wasn't quite doing the trick, but is more expenseive than the Restylane, so my doctor & I decided to try the combo to save me $200.) Anyway, so far so good.I love the result but I'm aware that s more
	“Restylane Great” At 41 the lines from the sides of my nose to my mouth were starting to get deep and I really disliked them. I already had had Botox in my forehead and my Dr suggested I try Restylane. I've had two treatments now, 6 months apart. The first one seemed to last about 4 months and I felt a little $jipped, but this second treatment is lasting really well and appears even more natural than the first... more
	“Thrilled with Restylane” I am 61 years old and had never had any procedures done to my face. I decided to brave it and have my marionette lines and nasolabial folds filled in. I am very afraid of needles but decided to brave it. The Dr. had me put a numbing cream on my face just before the procedure.It was a mild discomfort but nthing more than that. It's now been a little over a month and I'm thrilled with the... more
	“Restylane Helps Me Looks Like I'm...” I've had great results with fillers over the last three years. I was very ill in 2004 and lost over 30 pounds (which I did not need to lose). At any rate, it was after that I decided to try the fillers as the huge weight loss left me with serious nasolabia folds. My dermatologist (who I believe are the best trained in fillers even over plastic surgeons)is very conservative and often he's had... more
	“Loved the Results” I am 53 and I noticed those darn pesky folds along the sides of my nose. I did some research and then was lucky to find an excellent doctor. My 'Doubting Thomas' husband thought it was a waste of time and good money, but he went with me. (I previously had Botox and he did not see any great results.) After I came out he actually was amazed. He said I looked wonderful and he was taken aback... more
	“Restylane - $1,000 for Less Than a...” Restylane was a waste of money I didn’t have to waste. It lasted about 3 weeks and then was gone completely. I had tried it a few months before and that lasted a total of a month and a half – a lot less than they say it will last (minimum 3 months). I had Restylane in my lips and the hollows under my eyes last time. The lip results were gone in about a week. That’s about how long my... more
