Can juvederm be injected in the same area where porcine collagen injected 4 months ago

I injected porcine collagen to my nose March, 2012. There is no infection or reaction for me after the injection.

My concern is if the juvederm will interact with porcine collagen, complicating the nose with other problom.

Collagen was the very first original filler type, but it really hasn't been used in about 15 years. Prevelle, which does contain some porcine collagen but is a compounded filler with other chemical additives, does last longer - about 8 months, but traditional... more
