Can I combine fillers in the same area?

Can you get Restylane if you already have Juvederm?
Restylane and Juvéderm are both naturally occurring in the skin and are made of hyaluronic acid. Because they are the same thing it is safe to inject both products. However, each filler is best designated for different conditions. I favor Restylane for fine lines and wrinkles because it is a smoother hyaluronic acid that stays in place and fills the lines elegantly. Juvéderm is better indicated for plumping rather than filling some people prefer Juvéderm for lips since...

It's very common
Combining these two fillers is very safe and a common practice. I have not seen any complications from these two fillers. Best of luck to you and I hope you are able to see the results you are wanting!

Can I combine fillers in the same area?
Yes, you can combine fillers in the same area. There are no contraindications to using different HA's such as Restylane and Juvederm together.

Can I combine Restylane with Juvederm?
Hi AL Gal. We routinely combine different types of fillers, but more often than not t's the new R&R, Restylane and Radiesse.
As long as the patient has no issue with the way the original injections look, we are happy to use Restylane after Juvederm. Our only concern would be if we are asked to "fix" something from another injector and either do not know the product used or the patient is involved in a current dispute.

Restylane and Juvederm
It is safe to combine wrinkle fillers such as Restylane and Juvederm. I routinely combine fillers such as Radiesse and Juvederm depending on the goal. Combining is safe as long as the person injecting your face is a board certified physician such a Plastic surgeon or a Dermatologist.

No problem combining fillers
There is no problem combining fillers. The only downside is if you have a problem after the procedure it may be difficult to determine which filler caused the problem. I only occasionally use different fillers in the exact same area. It is more likely that I will use different fillers for different areas of the face based on the goals of the treatment. Proper protocol and cleaning the skin with antibacterial soap is essential for any filler but most especially when several fillers are used.

Should be no problem interchanging Restylane and Juvederm
There should be no incompatibility issues using both of these hyaluronic acid fillers. I rarely use both at the same time, but if you have had one you can certainly get the same area injected with the other next time you have a treatment. One practical reason to favor one over the other is if there is a promotion that nets you a rebate or lower cost. Bottom line - both are very effective fillers.

OK to combine restylane and Juvederm
It is OK to combine fillers. Different doctors have different preferences, but restylane and juvederm are very similar and work will together. I use both for my patients with great results.

Yes, you can combine fillers
Combination of various fillers such Restylane and Juvederm is done all the time to achieve the best individual results. It all depends on each individual needs.

Mixing different fillers
There is absolutely no problem using both fillers in the same area. Both products are we call hyaluronic acid fillers which have some minor differences. Most doctors have their individual preferences but they can be used interchangeably.

No problem mixing fillers
You should have no problem using Restylane after having used Juvederm, even in same area. I very commonly use much more different fillers with one another as they all have different positive attributes. Radiesse and Perlane are firmer and I will often layer softer filler such as Restylane over one of them. I have used Juvedern in areas with Restylane many times as I do prefer Rerstylane for most things and often have patients that already have Juvederm in place but...

Sure, but I'm curious why
Yes, you can treat areas that have been previously treated with another filler. Am curious as to whether you just want to switch to a different brand, or if there is something additional you're looking for. But yes, you can get Restylane if you've had Juvederm.

Combining Restylane and Juvederm
You will have no problem combining Restylane and Juvederm, both hyaluronic acids, in the same area. However, I am curious, why?

Restylane and Juverderm Use in the Same Area.
You can have Restylane treatment in and ares that has previously been treated with Juvederm and vice versa. They are both hyaluronic acids. Cross linking is what makes them different. There should be no problem combining the two.

Can I Get Restylane if I Already Have Juvederm?
Sure, soft tissue fillers can be combined in augmenting the face. There's no reason that you can't add Juvederm into an area that previously had Restylane injected.

Can I have Restylane if I had Juvederm?
Yes, it is like drinking Coke after Pepsi. They are both similar products from different manufacturers so they have some differences. Restylane and Perlane are thicker and better for sculpting and lifting whereas Juvederm is smoother.
However, there is no reason you can not have both

Restylane and Juvederm combination
Both Restylane and Juvederm are hyaluronic acids, with slight differences and manufactured by two different companies. There would be absolutely no contraindication to having one rather than the other. Restylane is now running a special promotion with a $50 rebate, until the end of the year, so if you've had Juvederm and Restylane is more cost effective, you could definitely have whichever you prefer.

Combining Restylane and Juvederm
Restylane and Juvederm are both hyaluronic acid, just manufactured by different companies (Medicis and Allergan, respectively). Restylane was FDA approved in 2003, Juvederm was FDA approved in 2006. There is no reason why you cannot switch from one to the other. The products may last different amounts of time once injected, however this can also be influenced by the skill / technique of the injector, the locations being treated and variability from patient to patient...

Combining Restylane and Juvederm probably OK but why?
Both Restylane and Juvederm are hyaluronic acid (HA) based fillers, so though there are some differences they should not be incompatible. The question really is why switch in the same area? One thing I definitely do not recommend is using an HA filler with a different type in the same area.

Mix and match-not a problem using both.
There are absolutely no incompatibility issues with these two products. Mixing them is just not a problem.

Filler combinations
It is very common to use different fillers in similar regions. It should not be a problem to do so especially with hyaluronic acids.

Yes you can
I've combined several fillers in different combinations - there should be no problem.
