My lips were injected with Versa 8/3. I want more fullness in my upper lip. Do I have to stick with Versa or can I use Juvederm?

Question

It’s only been 6 weeks so I don’t know if it’s ok to “mix” Versa with Juvederm.

Kian Karimi, MD, FACS · Answer

Thank
you for posting your question. Since it has been 6 weeks post injection, the
initial swelling should be resolved and It is an appropriate time to assess the
final result. At this point you can follow up with your injector to determine
if more filler is needed. Like Versa, Juvederm is a Hyaluronic Acid filler and
can be injected into the lips. Both of these fillers can be used together to
further enhance your volume. It is important to consult with an experienced
injector to determine the best type of filler needed to accomplish your
aesthetic goals.
Best of luck,
Dr. Kian

Thank you for your question.  Versa and Juvederm are both hyaluronic acid fillers.  They are compatible together in treatment.  It is important to wait two weeks following the first injection date to allow proper healing and assessment, before adding more filler.  Good luck.

Yes, you can change to Juvederm after Versa. I recommend injections with cannulas to limit swelling. Hope this helps.

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

Yes, you can switch to Juvederm. It can take 1-2 weeks for final results with Juvederm. Best, Dr. Emer

Thank you for your question. I don't see why you can't switch to a new product. However, a consultation is necessary. Follow up with your injector so they can best advise you.

Technically, there is no problem at all to mix fillers, even during one procedure. Since you have not provided a photos it is impossible to suggest the amount. As long as you stay within a natural look and proportions of your own face, there are no limits. On the other hand, a continuous overinflation of the lips carry a real risk of the long-term problems. Stay natural! Good luck!

Shaun Patel, MD · Answer

It is fine for you to switch to Juvederm at this point after having had Versa injected into your lips.

William Marshall Guy, MD · Answer

Hello Scarv79,It is ok to mix various hyaluronic fillers to achieve the result you are going for.  Swelling will be gone by 2 weeks so if you want more volume at this point you would be fine to add a new HA based filler to your lips.I hope this helps and good luck.

Amy Miller, MD · Answer

It is absolutely fine to add juvederm to the versa that is already there.  They are both hyaluronic acids with excellent safety profiles.  I often layer products, usually starting with the juvederm type products that attract water and then "topping" off with less water absorbing products like versa.  The only problem is if you do have a problem or side effect it will be impossible to tell which product caused the issue.  This is highly unlikely however, both are excellent products.  Both can be dissolved with hyaluronidase as well.
Hope this is useful info.  Best regards,
Dr.Amy
