How to choose a filler

Jordana S. Gilman, MD answers: When is Juvederm a better choice than other fillers?

I'm not sure about which filler to use in my lips vs. under my eyes or in my nasolabial folds.  When is Juvederm the best choice, or a better choice than Restylane, Evolence or other fillers?

If you are interested in a filler in your lips or under your eyes you want to stick with Juvederm or Restylane.  Larger, more robust fillers like Radiesse will form lumps in these areas.  For the nasolabial folds, however, any of the fillers would work well.  In terms of longevity, I have seen Restylane and Juvederm last from 3-9 months depending on the person and the area injected.  Everyone's body is different.

Juvederm tends to be softer than Restylane, but the stiffness of Restylane may be more supportive in lifiting some wrinkles.  You really need to discuss your goals with your physician to choose the filler that is best for you.
