I had restylane two weeks ago to nasolabial folds and lips. I really liked the results immediately after but now the swelling has subsided I need a bit more filled. My doctor is recommending Juvederm smile as this lasts longer than restylane (I had requested restylane at first since I'd had it previously with no side effects). Is it safe to use Juvederm in an area that was recently treated with restylane? I know they are both ha fillers but wanted to get a second opinion before proceeding. Many thanks :)

Answer: Restylane After Juvederm Is This Possible?
If you are worried about bleeding or bruising get injections with cannulas this limits complications and gives precise treatment. Best, Dr. Emer.
Your friend may be right, but it's hard to know without seeing a photo. In general Juvederm tends to be a thinner filler and actually it can have a translucent color if filled too shallow in the skin. So using a thicker HA filler like Restylane, or Perlane, or perhaps even Voluma might be better...
