I recently had a poor experience with extreme swelling and pocketing using 1 syringe of Juvederm in the upper lip. I will be trying a partial syringe of Restylane for my second attempt and am wondering if the reaction might be better and less severe than the Juvederm. I am extremely wary in trying this again. Has anyone seen a comparison in reactions?

Answer: Juvederm Vs. Restylane for Lips?
Either filler is appropriate for the lips, and either can cause bruising and swelling. Lumpiness of the filler is easy to control. Kenneth Hughes, MD Los Angeles, CA

Both Juvederm and Restylane are great products. What kind of juvederm did you get? Ultra or ultra plus. Sometimes there is a little more swelling with ultra plus. All hyalironic acid fillers cause some swelling, however swelling should subside after 2-3 days. Extreme swelling is unusual.

Answer: Juvederm vs. Restylane for Lips
Hi Kiki. It's not likely that the issue you experienced the first time you had your lips injected would have been different with Restylane. Restylane and Juvederm are very similar products and are used in the same way in the lips. It is more likely related to how the product was injected rather than the fact that it was Restylane vs. Juvederm.
Doesn't hurt to try the Restylane. Good luck.
