I get Juvederm Vollure lip injections and like them better than other fillers, because I rarely get any lumps/bumps. However, I read that there have been some cases reported by Allergan that people are getting inflammatory nodules 3-4 months post injections. To avoid that happening, I’m on the hunt for a similar filler in terms of smoothness and longevity, and I wanted to ask if Restylane Defyne is a good alternative that offers similar results? Most important for me is a smooth filler.

Answer: Vollure in lip Hi there. Vollure and Defyne are both considered "off label" for lip augmentation, which means that in formal testing of these products, the lips were not studied. That being said, I have used Vollure successfully in lip lines for 15 months now and it is one of my favorite products in this area. However, there have been instances of delayed nodule formation with this product. This is a potential complication of all fillers, and the lips seem to be a common area for this to happen. In terms of comparison of these two products, Defyne will be more "bulky" and provide more augmentation than Vollure if equal amounts are injected. Longevity should be similar between the two, but this can vary patient to patient. Hope this helps. Dr. Sawyer

Answer: Restylane Defyne for lip augmentation Today, I avoid using any of the Vycross fillers (Voluma, Vollure, and Volbella) from Allergan because of this reported increased risk of inflammatory nodules. When treating the lips, I choose between Restylane Silk, Restylane and Restylane Refyne/Defyne depending on what look the patient is going for. Restylane Defyne is a good alternative to Vollure. It gives a very smooth result because of its gel flexibility and integration with the skin.
