Juvederm and Restylane are very similar products, both of which are hyaluronic acid-based fillers. Both are manufactured in Europe. The manufacturing process is slightly different between the two products. I find that Juvederm goes in a little smoother and has a silkier texture as compared to Restylane.
The critical factor when injecting these products is having someone, preferably a board certified Plastic Surgeon or Dermatologist do the procedure. I find that that injecting the lower eyelid area the most difficult - conservative injection is critical. If one is over-zealous with this area excessive puffiness may result. It is important also that your physician has a sense of aesthetics, and that you do not get an unnatural "weird" look. The physician should also feel comfortable treating the potential risks of the procedure such as lumpiness or excessive augmentation
