Radiesse Vs. Restylane

What is the difference between having Radiesse vs Restylane filler for nasolabial folds? Which is better? I've had it done with Juvederm but have read that the other two are longer lasting.

A: I suggest Restylane

Like many things in cosmetic surgery, different experts will give you different opinions. The set of answers here demonstrates that point. My suggestion is that Restylane or Juvederm is a better choice than Radiesse (even though there is certainly nothing bad about Radiesse).

Restylane (and other hyalauronic acid fillers like Juvederm) are a soft gel made in a laboratory but are a natural skin substance. I feel that Restylane tends to give a more soft and natural result in the naso-labial folds. Most important, Restylane is reversible. The doctor can give you a very small, safe, injection and dissolve any of the product if you have a result that is not ideal. For instance any filler can cause a small lump or be a little uneven. This can happen even if you go to the most experienced and skill doctor. With Radiesse you need to wait until the product goes away on its own. With Restylane it can be corrected in minutes.

I always tell my patients, I suggest what I would recommend to my family. My family gets Restylane and Juvederm.
