Curious if there is a best way or a difference to which product you use first when lip filler layering?

Hello! My name is Jessica, I am a physician assistant, and one of the providers at Aesthetic Skin in Winnetka and Chicago. This is a great question. Yes, while it's common practice for injectors to use a more defining filler like Restylane Defyne first to establish height and definition, it is still possible to achieve desirable results by using a softer filler like Restylane Kysse or Versa first. However, using a defining filler second can provide more targeted enhancement to specific areas, as it allows for the creation of structure after the initial volume and hydration have been established. If Kysse or Versa is injected first, layering Defyne afterward can still effectively add definition, but the results may depend on how much volume was initially added and the specific areas being treated. Ultimately, the best approach can vary based on individual anatomy and aesthetic goals. I hope this helps and best of luck!

A skilled aesthetic injector will know how to treat superficial, deep and submuscular areas of the face. You don't necessarily need to restore facial volume in a particular sequence but you may not achieve your desired result without full correction in the area. It is best to discuss your priorities during a consultation allowing your provider to properly advise you regarding treatment sequence, filler selection and required filler volume.
