Dr. Buckingham’s Q&A

I am a 26-year-old woman interested in an injectable filler

Question:
I am a 26-year-old woman interested in an injectable filler for my lips. Which one (Juvederm, Perlane, Radiesse, Restylane, Sculptra) would be the best option for me?

Answer:
Radiesse and Sulptra are inappropriate for lip injection.  Any of the others will work and it depends on physician preference.  Usually either Juvederm or Restylane are chosen.  Juvederm is a little softer than Restylane and so we prefer this product for lip injection.  There are some however who like the more firm feel of Restylane and prefer this product.
