Juvederm or Radiesse

I prefer juvederm or any one of the Hyaluronic acids sto fill around the mouth becuase I can always disolve it if I have a problem.

Don't use Radiesse in the Lips

Juvederm is hyaluronic filler that I like to use for finer superficial lines of the face and upper /lower lip augmentation. Radiesse is a calcium filler that I like to use in thicker skin patients with deeper heavy lines. I do not... more
