The best filler for lips.

Radiesse is a great filler in the face that I use a lot but I would not use it in the lips. It can form lumps that could be felt but sometimes seen. My favorite filler for the lips is Restylane which allows me to she the lips better than with Juvederm.

Appropriate fillers for lip augmentation

While Radiesse is a wonderful product to fill deep facial lines, to augment cheeks, and even to correct defects of the nasal bridge, it is never recommended for the lip. Radiesse in the lip is very likely to cause visible nodule formation. Juvederm is a great hyaluronic acid filler. Juvederm, as well as Restylane, creates very soft and attractive lip augmentation. Always consult your board certified dermatologist or plastic surgeon when considering tissue fillers. These experts are... more

Juvederm

Radiesse is a thick, calcium based filler formulated for deep tissue injections such as the Nasolabial folds. If it is injected superficially it may become lumpy and visible. Therefore I do not recommend it for the lips. Juvederm is a Hyaluronic based filler which is thinner and can be safely used for lip injections.

Juvederm or Restylane better for lips than Radiesse

Radiesse is a great filler, but it is best for deep tissue filling of areas do not have hyperkinetic (very mobile) muscles. In the area of hyperkinetic muscles, like the lips, that are constantly in motion, fillers like Radiesse and Sculptra have a tendency to form lumps. Radiesse and Sculptra need to be injected deep under the musculature to give best results. There is no such area on the lips. They are biostimulatory fillers, in that they stimulate the skin's... more

No radiesse on the lips

If you are choosing between Radiesse and Juvederm on the lips, there is no doubt-- use only Juvederm. While it may be a more attractive choice because it last longer, Radiesse should not be used in the lips as it frequently causes lumps in this area. Radiesse is great for volumizing the cheeks, filling in the smile lines (nasolabial folds) and even the corners of the mouth. But definitely a "no-no" on the lips. Best, Dr. Mann

Radiesse Not Recommended for Lips

Radiesse is too thick of a product to place in the lips. Juvederm or other hyaluronic acid product is a better choice.

Juvederm or Radiesse for lips?

Juvederm is a better choice for injection into the lips. It's a gel vs a paste and will have less tendency to clump up in the lips which is a high mobile area. Radiesse is more appropriate in a more static area of the face i.e. mid face, nasolabial folds.

Avoid Radiesse use in the lips

I would avoid placing Radiesse in the lips due to its tendency to form nodules. Juvederm or Restylane are great options for lip enhancement, however, as they are much smoother and can provider softer, natural results.

Radiesse Vs Juvederm for Lips?

Stay away from Radiesse in the lips. It has the tendency to be lumpy when placed in the more superficial tissues such as with lip injections. I wonder if you meant to ask if Restylane is better than Juvederm? I think they are very similar.

Juvederm injections are great for lips

Radiesse should not be injected in the lips. Radiesse is made to be injected deep and is great as a cheek filler or for nasolabial folds. Juvederm is an excellent product for lips as it is much softer and leave a natural result.

Juvederm better than Radiesse for lips

Juvederm is a much better product than Radiesse for lip augmentation. Radiesse is a great product for cheek augmentation and filling of nasolabial folds, among other areas of the face. It is much too thick for injection in the lips. Injectors who used Radiesse in the lips found that it produced very poor results that did not appear natural. Juvederm, on the other hand, produces beautiful results for patients when used for lip augmentation.

Radiesse is a great filler but avoid lip injections with this product

Radiesse is a fantastic filler product. However, it is too thick for use in the lips. It has a tendency to form clumps and nodules which are difficult to remove with excising them. Radiesse is otherwise great for the nasolabial folds, cheek augmentation and pre-jowl sulcus among other areas. Juvederm, Restylane or other hyaluronic acid fillers are more appropriate for lip augmentation.

Radiesse is a great filler but NOT for the lips

Radiesse is one of my favorite fillers for cheek augmentation, lines around the mouth ( nasolabial fold), and jawline. Restylane or Juvederm are a much better choice for the delicate lip area. They are clear and soft and help to produce a beautiful fuller well- structured lip.

Juvederm is perfect for lips

Because Radiesse has a more pasty consistency, it is typically best to be placed deep into the skin. In our practice, we like to use hyaluronic acids, such as Juvederm for its smooth and gentler consistency – perfect for the lips. The only benefit between choosing Radiesse over Juvederm is its long term affect. see video

Radiesse can cause bumps in lips

Radiesse is a thicker product and can leave bumps if injected into the lips. Juvederm is a great choice for the lips. it is smooth and natural appearing.

Radiesse for lips

Juvederm is a superior product for lips. Radiesse is too large a molecule for such a delicate area and may lead to lumpiness.

Radiesse or Juvederm for Lips

STOP! Radiesse is not indicated for use in lips. Its use may result in granulomas that may be permanent or require surgical removal. Juvederm provides excellent result in lips- defining the outline, filling in vertical lip lines, and improving lip volume - very natural and no duck lips.

Radiesse is never meant to be used for lip augmentation

Radiesse is an unique filler that is bulkier and is meant to be used for volume enhancement such as in the cheeks and melolabial folds (the lines between your cheeks and mouth). When used too superficially or around the lips or eyes, it can accumulate and cause nodules that are very difficult to treat. Juvederm is a great choice and is my personal preference for lip augmentation. I hope this answer was helpful.

Radiesse is indicated for the nasolabial folds-not lips

Radiesse is an excellent long lasting filler useful for filling in deep nasolabial folds, however, it should not be used in the lips as it is too hard and can cause nodules or bumps that can last for several months or longer. Juvederm is a great choice to augment the lips, it is softer than radiesse and gives a nice result when properly injected in the lips. Restylane can also be used in the lips. Consult with a board certified plastic surgeon or dermatologist prior to having any... more

Don't use Radiesse around the lips

Radiesse is not recommend by the manufacturer to use in the lips. If use in the lips it was found to lumps and unevenness. The only option was to surgically remove the product from the lips. Radiesse wrinkle filler is FDA approved for sub-dermal implantation for correction of moderate to severe facial wrinkles and folds, such as Nasolabial folds.

Avoid Radiesse injection into the lips

This is a powerful and effective dermal filler. It is quite thick and should thus be used only in deep skin planes. Patients run into complications when this filler is injected to superficially. Patients also run into complications when this filler is injected into superficial circular muscles like that around the eyes where the lips. For these reasons, it is best to stick with hyaluronic acid-based fillers such as Juvederm for the lips.

Radiesse or Juviderm for lips

Juvederm is soft and clear - perfect for the lips. Radiesse is a great product, but it is white and firm - not appropriate for the lips. Where it has been used in the lips, problems have followed.

Lips: Radiesse vs: Juvederm

The answer hands down to this question is Juvederm. Filler such as Juvederm and Restylane are perfect for the lips because they are soft. Radiesse is typically not injected into the lips because of its tendancy to form nodules in this area. Radiesse is a wonderful filler for deep lines and furrows such as the nasolabial folds.

Lisa Kates, MD

Annapolis Dermatologist

Juvederm better than Radiesse for lips

Without question, I’d recommend Juvederm for the lips over Radiesse. Radiesse is a terrific filler but not appropriate for the lips. Radiesse is best used for smile lines or sunken cheeks. In the lips it can lead to lumps and nodules and therefore, I never use Radiesse in the lips.

Radiesse shouldn't be used for lips, but Juvederm is acceptable

Question: Radiesse vs. Juvederm for Lips? Answer: Radiesse should never be injected into the lips. Juvederm is acceptable as an injection to fill the lips and give them an enhanced contour.
