Restylane Vs. Juvederm for Plumping Lips?

Natural, natural, natural is the key. I personally only use Restylane and I am not a big fan of juvederm beacuse it seems to hold in the tissue a little less well in my hands. Others will disagree. Here is the real key. A good injector can work with any of the products you have mentioned and get a fabulous result. But this is an art form. The actual HA filler used to accomplish the treatment is way less important than the artistic eye of the person doing the treatment.
So don't get bogged down by the product. Focus instead on who will be doing the treatment. Great treatments don't look like anything but your own big beautiful lips. Bad treatments are, well, awful. Stay away from products that can't be adjusted. Never get silicone oil no matter how persuasive the injector. 

Lip augmentation is one of my favorite procedures as it can give the face a very youthful and appealing appearance.  There is no one filler that is best for everyone, but that also means there are options to help everyone achieve their specific desired goals for their lips. Lip fillers last anywhere from 6 months to two years depending on the specific product used. 
There is a full range of desires when it comes to lip augmentation.  Often when patients come in for the first time they are often worried of looking “over done” or having the dreaded “duck lips.”  However just like a breast augmentation, if patients could change anything after their lip augmentation they wish they would have gone bigger! 

Lip augmentation is an art as you can mold and shape the lips.  The perfect lip augmentation is about giving the lips a natural, sexy appearance.  Just making the lips bigger is not beautiful.  Enhancing the size while creating a shape makes the face look more youthful.  Lip augmentation can create a cupid’s bow and improve the overall shape of the lips. 

Restylane Refyne and Restylane Silk are both great products for patients that want a subtle augmentation to their lips.  The Refyne is a new product that last up to a year giving patients a lasting result. 

Juvederm Ultra Plus and Restylane and the workhorse products for fillers as they have been around for years and patients tend to love them.  They last about a 6-months in the lips. 

Resylane Defyne and Juvederm Vollure both last about up to a year.  Both of these products will give patients a little more volume and fullness to their lips.  The Vollure and Defyne will also last up to a year giving patients a lasting results the will love for their lip enhancements.

Juvederm Volluma is the longest lasting product on the market and lasts up to two years.  It is typically used for a mid-face lift.  However, in patients that want a full luscious appearance to their lips this can be an incredible option. 

Lip enhancement can be done as a simple procedure in the office.  Patients come to the office have numbing cream applied to their lips.  I give them about 15 to 20 min to let the cream take affect and then the actual process of the lip injections takes about ten minutes. 

Patients can return to work or their daily life immediately after the simple office procedure is completed. 

Please consult with your board-certified plastic surgeon about your lip augmentation options.  

Hi there!For a natural looking lip enhancement with minimal side effect risk 100% go for juvederm vycross range. Make sure you choose an experienced practitioner as this is even more important! Best wishes, Dr Rupert

Juvederm and Restylane are both temporary gel fillers that need to be repeated for maintaining a desired result. In our practice we may prefer microdroplet Silikon-1000 for permanent, soft, natural looking lip augmentation. Thank you. Dr Joseph 

These lip fillers (Volbella, Restylane, Juvederm) are good for creating a symmetrical and full lip. Nova threads can be used to improve lift and shape. Implants or fat are alternatives. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with a facial sculpting expert to go over your desired results. Best, Dr. Emer

There are over a dozen types of hyaluronic acid fillers on the market. They range from very soft fillers to firmer ones and last between 6 months and 2 years depending on the product. It is very important that the proper filler be used for your specific goals, anatomy, and measurements. Too many people are having too much product, or the incorrect product placed into their lips causing an unnatural, overdone look. Consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon with experience in soft tissue fillers cannot be overstated. Best wishes!

Congratulations on your modeling
contract!  Your question is a good one and the very first thing you need
to do is carefully choose the provider who will be doing your
injections. The final outcome of any injection treatment, regardless of the
product used, depends on the skill and experience of the
injector.  You will want to find an expert injector who is experienced in
using a variety of fillers for lip augmentation along with
the technique and where the filler is actually placed.


Together, you and your provider can
determine which product will give you the result you are looking for; subtle
volume? a more defined lip border? a more hydrated youthful lip?  You need
to keep in mind that nothing will change your genetic lip anatomy, they will
still be your lips...just fuller.  You need an injector who will take into
consideration your facial proportions and who will create a natural look that
is in harmony with your other facial features and also one
who looks at your face comprehensively and develops an overall plan.

Personally I prefer restylane in the lips. Only because had stood the test of time. They are all very similar with similar results. The true distinction and determination needs to be made from if you would like fat transfer into the lips. The benefit here is using your own tissue to augment areas that are deficient.  An obvious benefit is that we can augment other areas of the face concomitantly which is attractive to some patients.Hope this helps.Best of luck,DrC

Thank you for your question. I personally love how patients lips turn out from Restylane Silk. I think it is the softest, most natural look for the lips.Restylane Silk was intended for use in the lips.  With lip enhancement, an excellent, experienced injector is of utmost importance.The product used is secondary to injection technique. Do your homework and make sure to see a experienced injector.

Restylane® Silk is made with smaller, smoother particles
than those used in other Restylane or Juvederm products making Restylane® Silk a unique
particle gel formula for lip augmentation. With an ultra-fine needle or designed for improved
accuracy, Restylane Silk makes lip enhancement virtually painfree !#Restylaneforlips   #RestylaneSilk    #lipaugmentation

Whether you’ve noticed
your lips thinning over time, or simply want fuller lips, JUVÉDERM® Ultra XC or
RESTYLANE SILK can give you natural-looking results that lasts more than
9 months. In fact, 78% of people treated experienced improvement in
satisfaction with the look and feel of their lips 1 year later!
The cost
of a single 1ml syringe will vary within $50-$100 between competitive
practices. We suggest finding a reputable practice with expert injectors for
the blend of science and artistry!
