Restylane vs Radiesse for Non Surgical Rhinoplasty

Do you think Restylane is easier to inject in that it stays where you actually place it as opposed to Radiesse. I know Radiesse lasts longer, but I have heard that it is tricker to inject because it doesn't always stay put. Which filler is better for that?

Thank you


hi,
well, it depends on what you want to do.
restylane doesn't have alot of structural strength, so if you're trying to straighten out a droopy nasal tip, radiesse is the only one that is strong enough. camouflaging a bump on the bridge is ok with restylane, though, for example.
they are both maleable, and i have not had any problems with radiesse moving where i didn't want it to move. it takes alot of pressure to move radiesse around.
hope that helps.
