I'm very interested in a volumizing filler around my jawline and still deciding between the two. I was told over the phone that Juvederm can last 6-12 months longer than Radiesse. Is this true ? I was thinking of going Radiesse because it's affordable ,but if it is true that Juvederm does last longer than long term I'd be saving money from annual visits. What's the best choice ?

Answer: Best Filler for Volumizing the Jawline Hi Pet,Radiesse (12-18 months) is thought to last longer than Juvederm and Juvederm Plus (9-12 months), and is a stronger lifting product. Juvederm's new product, Voluma, lasts longer than Radiesse, up to 2 years. I prefer to use either Radiesse or Sculptra (2-4 years once correction is obtained) to add volume to the jawline. I have heard of Voluma being used along the jawline sometimes even mixed with Radiesse. All of these uses are off-label. Most important for you to choose your injecting physician most carefully. Good luck and be well.Dr. P

Answer: Determining best choice of filler for specific anatomic area Radiesse and Juvederm have similar longevity, and this is not the biggest difference distinguishing the two products. The biggest difference is their elastic modulus - roughly the firmness of the product. Radiesse is much, much more firm than Juvederm, which makes it better suited for restoring areas of bony deficit and areas where more "lift" is needed. Juvederm is much silkier and smoother, making it better in areas where a smooth, silky contour is desired, such as the lips and smile lines.
