Is it okay if I inject two different fillers on the same spot?

Question

I recently had a Juvederm injection on the nose. But the quantity wasn't sufficient, so I want to inject Restylane on my nose. Is it okay if I inject two different fillers on the same spot?

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

For unique cases where a variety of modalities could be used to treat the condition, I would suggest an in-person or virtual consultation to develop a custom and effective treatment plan.  It is difficult to precisely define the best option without collecting the same information. I suggest reaching out to an expert for a consultation with surgical and non-surgical methods to get a comprehensive option. Best, Dr. Emer.

Thank you for sharing your question. It is fine to use multiple products in the same location. This is often done to achieve best results for certain problems. Good luck!

Thank you for your question. Yes, it is safe to inject two different fillers into the same treatment areas. In your case, both the filler you are referring to are hyaluronic acid fillers, which have very similar properties even though they are two different products. They will work fine together. One word of caution. Liquid rhinoplasty is a complex procedure that requires a gentle touch and a great deal of precision to ensure a safe and successful result. I encourage you to make sure you are working with a board-certified dermatologist with extensive training and experience in this treatment to ensure an optimal outcome.

Hello,
Yes, it is safe to use two different filler material in the same area. As Juvederm and Restylane are both HA fillers, they will take on quite well. Another thing to take into consideration is in regards to why the quantity was not sufficient. For example, if you are looking for a more defined and lifted result, we would generally recommend Restylane Lyft over other products. There also might be a possibility that your injector would want to dissolve the old filler if it is not adding to your longterm goals. We recommend that you have a discussion/consult to better evaluate.

Best,

Thank you for your question! It is perfectly safe to use different dermal fillers in the same area. Most dermal fillers are made of hyaluronic acid and are simply crosslinked in various ways. Be sure to consult with an experienced injector for a proper assessment and best of luck!

Yes it is fine to use two different fillers in the same area.  Both fillers you are considering are hyaluronic acid fillers. You will want to wait two weeks between injections.  Be sure to see an experienced injector near you to learn more.

Both Juvederm and Restylane are hyaluronic acid based fillers and we now have years of experience injecting both in the same location without any problems. Most important is injecting the right product, in the right amount, in the right tissue plane. A highly trained and experienced physician injector (e.g. dermatologist) can do this nicely and safely for you.

Dear billys054, Scientifically, the fillers have been created with mild nuances differentiated to add greater volume or project more.Technically, they are injected using different techniques in different layers and compartments to achieve desired goals. Artfully, they can be layered to achieve particular results. Should HA (hyaluronic acid gel) fillers of different types be injected into the same region, you will get a combination effect. It won't hurt you and risks remain rare. Always choose your injector carefully! All the best!

There is no problem injecting 2 fillers in the same area as long as they are placed in their proper plane but using these 2 doesn't make sense because they are essentially the same
