General side effects of these fillers is some swelling. If you are getting extreme swelling then this should be investigated some more. In general, restylane and juvederm are both created in the laboratory using bacterial cultures. Hylaform was derived from chickens and so if you have a chicken allergy then you shuld avoid this product. So, yes, you can combine different hyaluronic acid products to get the desired effect for most people.
