A: No greater risk

Ronald Shelton, MD

There is no evidence that you are putting yourself at more risk by having two different products used in different places. There are risks of each procedure individually and that should be discussed by your physician.

A: Not risky to use both Restylane and Juvederm

Hassan Galadari, MD

Both Restylane and Juvederm are hyaluronic acid fillers. They can be used interchangeably and in different parts of the face at the same time. HA fillers can also be used in conjunction with other different type fillers, such as Sculptra. Sculptra takes weeks to have full effect and HAs can be added to give a... more

Not sure why you would be mixing the two, but to my knowledge there is no added risk to using both products in the face. Good luck.

A: Restylane and Juvederm

Steven Wallach, MD

Hyaluronic acid fillers such as restylane or juvederm can be used separately or in conjunction to fill areas of facial depressions.  I do not see the point of mixing the two but it certainly can be done.

A: No risk at all

Physicians often use a variety of facial fillers when rejuvenating the face. I particularly like to use Restylane in the tear-trough area. You will find the Juvederm will be smooth in the cheek folds. Occasionally we even layer the products, putting the thicker product deep and the thinner product more... more

A: Fillers such as Juvaderm and Restylane can be combined

Darrick E. Antell, MD

Restylane and Juvaderm are both the same class of fillers and I do not see any reason why you could not combine them. In your particular case, you have mentioned using them in different parts of the face so as the fillers will be placed in geographically separate areas, there is even less reason to have any... more

A: Restylane and Juvederm Combination, Is it Safe?

Michael A. Persky, MD

Hi Chikkita, It is perfectly safe to combine Restylane under the lower eyelids with Juvederm in the cheeks and other areas of the face.  In fact, that is the most frequent combination of fillers that I use in my practice daily. One must be very careful when having injections around the delicate and... more

A: Combinations common

Mary Lupo, MD

We often combine different fillers on the same day in different areas, or at different depths. Each FDA filler has unique characteristics and a good dermatologist or plastic surgeon understands how to use each for maximum advantage.

A: Risk of using Juvederm and Restylane

Steven Hacker, MD

There appears to be no cumulative risk by using different fillers in different areas.  If you can tolerate Juvederm, then in general, you can tolerate Restylane (and vice versa) with no increase in side effects when using one for one area of the face and one for another area of the face. 

A: No issue with combining fillers

Julia Carroll, MD

There is no issue with combing fillers.  They are all essentially the same product.  Different products come in various sizes and inject slightly differently.  Many physicians have favourites for particular uses and areas.  I often use combinations of various fillers to get optimal... more
