Can my maintenance lip filler be a different type than my original?

Thank you for your question and for the photo. You can be treated with another HA filler to maintain your look. I recommend scheduling a consultation with a reputable physician for optimal results. All the best. 

Lip fillers of different companies can be injected with overlap. However there are some concerns when fillers with high degree of crossing get mixed which are believed to have a higher risk of leading to later complications such as nodule formation.

Stylage is not approved for use in the USA by the FDA but you can use another HA based filler for lip maintenance. I prefer to use Restylane Refyne when treating the lips. 

You can absolutely get a different type of hyaluronic acid filler injected in your lips when you are due for more filler here in the United States. We typically use Juvederm and Restylane products for filler in the lips in our practice. I would recommend having your provider research what type of filler was used in your lips, and he or she can make sure the product you have injected next is similar to what is currently in your lips.

You can use any of the Hyaluronic Acid fillers approved in the USA. Restylane products, Juvederm products, Versa, and Belotero are all options. See more in the link below. 

You certainly can use a different filler. If you like the filler you had you might want to be sure to get one if similar consistency so be sure to tell your doctor what was injected so they can look it up and use a similar HA .

Lip augmentation is tricky on its own Although many mix and match fillers It’s best to stay with the original one to avoid unevenness and lumps
