Restylane or stylage? Or something else?

Sara van der HeijdenNov 18, 2016
Dear reader I want to get lip fillers and I can choose between the products restylane or stylage. Now I really don't know what's the best product and the difference between the products (or is juvederm much better)? My priority are natural lips. Could you help me? And how is the pain if they don't use nerve blockers but just lidocaine creme 12%? Thank you and I'll hope you have a answer.

Thank you for your question! It is very important for every injector to have hyaluronidase on hand. From your photo it looks like you had an injection into a blood vessel and the oxygen was cut off. This can scar and the tissue can be compromised. It is very important to seek treatment as soon...

Thank you for your question. It is unlikely your bump is the result of hyaluronic acid filler. It is not possible for HA fillers to last years later. If your bump happens to be a result of HA fillers you can have it dissolved with hyaluronidase. I recommend seeing an expert for future injections...

Hi @Newboobs17. A vascular occlusion would show up immediately. Signs and symptoms of an occlusion include extreme pain, redness, swelling, and blisters. Best of luck to you, Dr. Nima!
