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?

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.
Good luck.

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, you might want to find a different provider to do your Juvederm injections, to make sure you are happier with the overall results. If the Restylane was done too superficial, causing...

Juvederm and Restylane
It is totally safe to inject Juvederm into an area where you have already had Restylane injected. The products are very similar and in my extensive experience there has been no reactions between the two fillers. You should always seek a board certified physician for these types of injections, because the skill and experience of the injector is critical in preventing lumps.

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 top of each other placing the thicker filler deeper and the thinner filler on top. If your lumps occurred immediately after the treatment, please realize that they may easily be...

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 to do this.
Hope this helps.
