Can I use a different brand of filler on top of another?

Question

I had pluryal filler in my tear troughs 4 months ago however I still need more as it didn’t really fill out the hollow. Can I have a different type/brand added to the existing filler? (ie if I go to a different doctor who won’t necessarily use what the other used). And how long would you recommend to wait? Thanks

Multiple fillers can be used to treat the same area to achieve the desired effect.  It is best if you wait two weeks between treatments so that all swelling has fully resolved from your initial treatment.

As long as the filler is made for the area of concern yes you can get fillers added to an already filled area of the face.

Hello and thank you for your question.  You can place a different filler where filler has already been placed.  It must be done carefully to not create lumpiness.  We recommend volbella, volbella is a juvederm product that is lasting up to 10months.  Volbella is a newer filler made with vycross technology.  This technology created a longer lasting, softer form of filler which decreases the chances of lumps and bumps, especially when layering product.   Make sure you are going to a board certifierd experienced provider for your treatments.   I would recommend waiting 7-10 days to let the first treatment  settle.  Hope this helps, good luck!

We use multiple different fillers all the timeshare is to achieve the desired results. There is, therefore, no reason why you cannot see another provider for whatever else you need.
