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...

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...

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Juvederm and Radiesse for lips
Radiesse is a calcium volume filler for the deep lines of the face and usually not placed in the lips. The risk of nodularity in the lips can be very problematic for patients.
I like to perform upper and lower lip augmentation with Juvederm filler. It is very soft and natural. It can last up to a year.

Lip augmentation with fillers, Juvederm vs. Radiesse
The standard of care is to avoid using Radiesse in the lips because of the possibility of nodule (lump) formation. To be clear, the lips refer here to the red-colored lips, referred to as the vermillion lip. An off-label use of Radiesse is the use in the cutaneous, or skin-colored lip, above the red lip and under thenose, used in a horizontal fashion in sparing amounts. A concern though is migration via movement of muscle during speech, smiling and eating, that might force the product down...

Radiesse should not be used in the lips
Radiesse should not be used in the lips. I routinely use Juvederm for the lips. It is much softer, pliable and less likely to cause lumps and nodules compared to Radiesse.

Avoid Radiesse in the Lips
Radiesse is a wonderful filler and I love it for deep nasolabial folds, marionette lnes and facial folds, but I would strongly avoid its use in the lips. This filler is prone to lumps, bumps and nodule formation when used in the lips. It is 'full-bodied' filler and thus should be used for deeper folds or volumization and not for sensitive areas such as lips and crow's feet. For these more sensitive areas, I would look forward to great results with Juvederm or Restylane.

Radiesse for lips?
Radiesse is not a filler that should be used for the lips. Lip fillers should be light and soft which are the affects of Hyaluronic Fillers such as Restylane and Jevederm. Radiesse is most commonly used to volumize cheeks and nasolabial folds.

Radiesse vs Juvederm in the lips
I prefer hyaluronic acid treatment for the lips. This would include products such as restylane or juvederm. I think it gives a natural result that is soft and can last up to a year. Radiesse should not be used in the lips. I think that it has the propensity to be more palpable and potentially could cause granulomas.

Radiesse or Juvederm for lips
Radiesse is not appropriate for lip augmentation. Hyaluronic acid products such as Juvederm are great for lips, Juvederm is my preferred product for this area. The augmentation is soft and long lasting.

No Radiesse for Lips
I would strongly discourage people from having Radiesse injected into the lips. As many of the respondants have stated, Radiesse can cause unsightly nodules in the lips which can be very problematic. I prefer Juvederm in the lips over all other fillers (except maybe fat).

Juvederm ONLY
Radiesse is notorious for causing lip nodules that are very unsightly. In fact, I am unaware of any dermatologist or plastic surgeon who uses it in the lips. Juvederm, in contrast, is soft and natural and very long-lasting. The lips look natural and feel natural as well when injected by an expert.

Juvaderm vs Radiesse for the lips
Hi,
Juvederm is superior to Radiesse for lip augmentation. Juvaderm is clear and softer and therefore conforms better when injected into the lips.
Radiesse works great for augmentation of the nasal labial fold.

Juvederm vs. Radiesse for the lips
Radiesse is a fantastic filler for certain locations of the face including the nasolabial folds and cheeks, but should NOT be used in the lips due to the risk of nodules and granulomas. Juvederm is a very appropriate filler for the lips and when nodules develop with Juvederm, they can be massaged out or, if necessary, even dissolved with hyaluronidase.
Good luck.

Radiesse vs Juvederm for the lips
I do not perform nor do I recommend Radiesse for the lips. Their are potential problems with radiesse when used in the lips that do not exist for other fillers such as Juvederm. Thus, would recommend Juvederm over Radiesse in this scenario.

Juvederm is better for the lips
Although Radiesse is a great filler with many applications, it can cause problems when injected into the lips. In the lips, it causes a potent inflammatory response, which can lead to increased scarring and granuloma formation. The scarring makes the lips feel harder and the granulomas actually need to be excised if they develop.
Juvederm, on the other hand, provides a very soft and natural feel and look to the lips.
Hope this helps. All the best.

Use Juvederm for the lips NOT Radiesse
Radiesse is an inappropriate filler for the lips in my opinion as it is best used fro dep volume enhancement and not superficial treatments. Juvederm works best in the lips and is softer with less tendancy to bumpiness.

Radiesse vs Juvederm for lips
Juvederm is a MUCH BETTER lip filler.
Radiesse should never be injected in the lips. Radiesse consists of powdered sea coral (calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA) )microspheres suspended in a water-based gel carrier which generates a scar response (E "creates collagen"). In the lip it will cause palpable scar nodules.
