What are the benefits of Restylane Kysse in comparison to Juvederm Ultra Plus XC? (Photo)

Lip fillers can work great in some patients and there are many different types.
But they certainly have their risks and limitations. For example many patients end up with a duck-like appearance, an over-projected upper lip line, an overall over-filled appearance, and with the filler actually moving.
On the other hand they can work great and appear very natural in a select group of patients.
Your upper lip is not extremely thin, but you do appear to have a long philtrum (distance between your nose and upper lip). Some patients feel their lip is thin when actually their philtrum is too long.
A lip lift will shorten your philtrum and reveal more of your upper lip. These will give provide you with a more robust upper lip appearance, and an overall more youthful and attractive appearance.

Both products can be used to augment the lips. Both are hyaluronic acid fillers. Juvederm Ultra Plus is a thicker product and may result in a firmer feel. Restylane Kysse provides a more natural enhancement with a softer feel. I encourage you to speak with your injector about your goals for treatment so the proper filler can be selected for you.

Restylane Kysse is one of the newest dermal fillers to hit the U.S. market, but it’s not the only one that is effective in adding subtle volume to the lips. Rather than choosing your procedure based on the product, I recommend selecting the most experienced, board-certified dermatologist you can find to perform your procedure. This professional will be able to recommend the best treatment for you based on your specific needs and aesthetic goals, as well as the product the doctor is most comfortable using. 

Hi,Thank you for your question and sharing your photo.Restylane and Juvederm are both HA products manufactured by competitor companies. The ingredients are the same but processed differently, which results in differences in product density, thickness, longevity, hydrophilicity, cohesiveness, etc.I would suggest selecting a provider that you share a similar aesthetic taste and allowing them to guide you with product selection. In my experience, it's best to gradually increase lip volume if your goal is very full lips while maintaining a natural result.Hope this helps!

Both of these fillers provide subtle volume and definition to the lips. The most important factor in ensuring a successful procedure is the experience and training of your injector. I recommend working with a board-certified facial plastic surgeon who has the intricate knowledge of facial anatomy necessary to achieve the best possible results.
