Why Does Restylane Swell So Much More Than Juvederm?

User Avatar
Mama in the House
I had restylane in the past for my lips and had a terrible time with swelling. The most recent treatment I switched doctors and she used Juvederm. I didn't swell at all and love the results. Why did I have so much unattractive swelling with restylane in the past? And why would a doctor choose restylane over juvederm?
