I have used Restylane for 10 years in my chin to create volume, and my injector is very careful when she inject it because i like the shape to be in a certain way. But is it possible with ellanse to get it as precisely as you can get the restylane? And can Restylane and Ellanse be mixed or used in the same place (chin)? I would like to try Ellanse because its long lasting compared to Restylane, but don't know if it does the same trick, and its scary because it is not reversible id im not happy.
