It is totally safe to inject Juvederm into an area where you have already had Restylane injected.

Is it safe to add Juvederm to lips with Restylane?
I already have Restylane in my lips. Is it safe to add Juvederm Ultra? I've been getting Restylane lipp injected into my lips and have been unhappy with the lumps that have formed because of either an inexperienced injector or the Restylane. It certainly looks like the Restylane hasn't been injected deep enough.
Anyway I’m getting Juvederm Ultra injected very very soon. Could anyone tell me if would it be safe enough to inject another filler in my lips when there’s still Restylane there?

9 answers to “Is it safe to add Juvederm to lips...”A: Some physicians layer different fillers
There shouldn’t be any chemical reaction between the two, but there can be (very rarely) delayed reactions to a filler. If you develop a reaction in the future, you might not know whether the Restylane or Juvederm was responsible. However, it is not unusual for physicians to layer different fillers on... more
A: Shouldn't be a problem
Juvederm and restylane are similar products. Juvederm has more crosslinking which means it should last longer. IF placed properly there is no lumpiness. It works great on lips lasting up to 6 months
A: Juvederm and Restylane
These two hyaluronic acid fillers do not negatively affect each other in any way. In general, restylane does not have any greater tendency to form lumps than Juvederm. You might want to consider waiting until the lumps resolve or have them dissolved with hyaluronidase before Juvederm injections... more
A: Its safe to inject Juvederm Ultra
Yes, it is safe to inject Juvederm ultra into the lips even if you have had Restylane. I would probably use Juvederm ultraplus since both products produce a smooth lip line and add volume to the lips.
A: It is safe, but you might need some Restylane removed to minimize lumps
It is perfectly safe to combine these two products in the same patient and in the same location. I am speaking from the treating physician perspective as well as the patient perspective, as I had Juvederm put in my lips soon after Restylane. A note of caution: if the Restylane injections were not done well,... more
A: Yes
Juvederm and Restylane are very similar products. Each has slightly different characteristics that are advantageous in certain situations. In addition they work just fine together. We often treat patients with both Juvederm and Restylane in the same area. It is perfectly safe... more
A: Juvederm on Top of Restylane in the Lips, Is it Safe?
Hi Daisy Bell, Relax and enjoy the Juvederm Ultra Plus. It is perfectly safe to add Juvederm to lips that already have Restylane. Good luck and be well. Dr. P
A: Safe to use Juvederm with Restylane in same area
There is no contraindication to using Restylane and Juvederm Ultra in the same area. Both are hyaluronic acid fillers and are safe when used together. I believe the lumps in your lips are a result of the injection technique and not the actual product.
