Is it dangerous mixing different hyaluronic acids? I have Volbella and the new clinic I go to doesn't use it.

Thank you for sharing your excellent question.  There is no increased danger of "mixing" hyaluronic acid dermal fillers.  I would recommend seeking second opinions on treatment to help you obtain the results you are most interested in.  

It's not only safe to mix hyaluronic-acid based fillers, it's sometimes the best way to get the most beautiful and natural-looking results. Each filler has different qualities that can create various effects and textures. Volbella has a very thin consistency that adds subtle volume. Restylane Silk is slightly more viscous but still creates a natural-looking shape. Consulting with a board-certified dermatologist will allay your fears about mixing hyaluronic acid fillers.

Yes, you can use two different HA fillers. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with a cosmetic dermatologist. Best, Dr. Emer

Thank you for your question. 
There are many great products for lip lines. Juvederm Volbella is the newest FDA approved filler for lip lines.  It does a great job at softening lip lines without the bulky or puffy appearance with a one year longevity. For restoring lip volume Juvederm Ultra or restylane can be used. There are a variety of hyaluronic acid (HA) fillers. It is very common to use different HA fillers depending on many factors, and very common and appropriate to use a variety of HA fillers on the same visit. 
Please consult a local board certified facial plastic surgeon for more information and a comprehensive consultation 

No. I often use a combination of different fillers to deliver the best aesthetic result for my patients. The fact that the place you visited doesn't know this would lead me to recommend that you find a different injector. Preferably a very experienced injector such as a board certified plastic surgeon or cosmetic dermatologist. 

Hi Amelie,
 It is actually very common to use different fillers, including different hyaluronic acids throughout the face and even in the same area of the face to achieve full correction.  In fact, I find often the most beautiful corrections occur when we layer different fillers.  For example, I often will give body and volume to someone seeking lip fullness with Juvederm Ultra.  Then add a little Volbella on top for gloss and smoothing without giving too much more volume.  Seek an expert injector who understands all the different properties of the various dermal fillers on the market, as they will know what products can be used safely together to achieve your best result!

Thank you for your question. It is perfectly acceptable to use different fillers provided that you inform your surgeon of what you have had in the past. Many practitioners use different fillers in one session to achieve optimal results. Best of luck! 

Thank you for your question Lord_larsa. Volbella is a hyaluronic acid filler designed to enhance the lips. I routinely use different hyaluronic acid fillers in the face and I would not hesitate injecting a filler in an area where a different hyaluronic acid filler has been injected. Please consult with a doctor for specific recommendations. Good luck!

There are many different Hyaluronic Acid Fillers from Restylane, Juvederm, Voluma, Belotero, Volbella, and they all have their place.  I often use a combination of fillers to get the best cosmetic results since they may need to be layered or placed in different parts of the face for the best cosmetic results.  Please consult an expert in cosmetic facial injections for the best results.  Best, Dr. Green

Thank you for your question.  There is absolutely no contraindication to using different hyaluronic acid products.  Each filler product is formulated slightly differently, and is best suited for particular indications.  Experienced injectors almost always use a variety of filler products for each of their patients to provide optimal results.  I would recommend scheduling a consultation with an experienced cosmetic dermatologist or plastic surgeon to discuss your concerns and come up with the best treatment plan for you.  Best of luck!
