Does Resylane have better results than Juvederm? I have already tried that and the results were not as I expected.

Restylane or Juvederm

The immediate effects of either filler are the same, but they are both technique dependent. If you did not have a good result with one, the other filler will not correct it. You might need a different injector.

Best dermal filler for mouth corners

Although both Juvederm and Restylane are good smooth gel products for fine lines and volumizing around the mouth, you may be a better candidate for Radiesse when describing deeper lines/folds and did not respond well to Juvederm. As panel members suggested, technique is imperative, and this involves choosing the correct product for the correct areas and conditions. In our experience, Radiesse has offered a stronger "pull and hold" for those areas that would benefit from this. more

Is Restylane Effective Enough to Reduce Deep Wrinkles in the Corner of the Mouth?

Yes, these are called "marrionette lines" and anf filler will technically work. Juvederm, Restylane, Radiesse or Perlane. I personally prefer Perlane for corrections in this area. Be sure that the MD that does your facial shaping, contouring with fillers understands and follows the proper aesthetics of facial beauty.

Good technique is much more important than whether you get Restylane or Juvederm.

Hi. You can get dramatic results with both, but it has to be done just right. So it is all about your doctor. see video

Is Restylane effective for filling winkles in the corners of the mouth?

One could absolutely use Restylane in this area. If the lines are deep, such as your indicate, Perlane would probably be a better choice however.. Perlane and Restylane are similar but due to increased cross linking Perlane is better for deeper lines. The key to having a positive outcome in such a case is having a good physician injector and accepting that multiple syringes will most likely be required if the lines are deep. Finally, one should have an... more

Restylane for Grooves at the Corner of the Mouth

I don't find that there is truly any difference in results using Restylane or Juvederm in the grooves at the corner of the mouth. I also use Radiesse in this location.

Restylane for wrinkles in the corner of the mouth

Restylane could be used in that area. The cost for this procedure for 1cc syringe is $400.

Best treatment for deep wrinkles in the corner of the mouth

For very deep wrinkles in the corners of the mouth (marionette lines), either Restylane or Juvederm is not enough. For this problem I will use Radiesse injected more deeply, below the skin, and then layer either Restylane or Juvederm above the Radiesse in a more superficial plane. I find this combination to be quite effective for even the most stubborn lines. In choosing your injecting physician, always ask about their experience and make sure they have all of the "tools" to use,... more

Filler for stubborn corners

Those folded over corners can present quite a challenge to even the most experienced injector. Juvederm would be last on my list to fix this. I prefer something with more substance. I use Restylane often as I am usually using rest of syringe in lips etc. If I am not doing lips I might use perlane or even Radiesse. What I choose depends m upon whether I will use the rest of syringe in other areas and on the depth of the creases. There is not one good filler for the area. How... more

Fillers for the corner of the mouth

Restylane is just one filler that can be used in the corner's of the mouth to improve the appearance. I like all the HA's.

An experienced injector can accomplish most anything with any filler.

There is nothing that can be done with Perlane than can't be done with Restylane. Both of these products are marketed by Medicis. They are cross-linked hyaluronic acid filler products. Perlane is considered to be a better volumizer but it is somewhat harder to work with. Restylane is more forgiving and is often used in locations like the under eye area and the lip edge. In most other areas, the experienced injector can accomplish excellent results with... more

Fillers with more "ilft" work best for treating these deep lines

In my opinion, you would need a hyaluronic acid filler with the ability to produce a lot of "lift" to treat deep marionette lines. This lifting ability is called the G prime of the filler. Of all the hyaluronic acid fillers, Perlane, followed by Restylane have the highest G prime. They are then followed by the Juvederm products.

Restylane for Marrionette Lines

No. I use Perlane or Juvederm for the marriontte lines since they are much deeper folds. I only use Restylane for very shallow lines or areas of thin skin such as the inferior orbit.

Is Restylane Effective Enough to Reduce Deep Wrinkles in the Corner of the Mouth?

A world class tennis player using a cooking skillet would easily defeat any amateur armed with the best tennis racquet money can buy. The same applies to treating facial lines. Personally, I would use Perlane in the deep fold and either jovederm or restylane more superficially. Patients often do not get the amount of filler required for good smoothing. Most importantly, often NOT the filler but the amount used and the skill of the treating Plastic surgeon which determines the... more
