What's the advantage of using one filler over another?

I am interested in using a filler for my nasiolabial folds and for plumping upper lip. Of the fillers I am trying to evaluate (Juvederm, Restylane, Latisse, Perlane-L, Dysport) which one do you think is the safest, has the longest-acting results?

Dysport and Latisse are not fillers. Of the ones you listed, Juvederm Ultra Plus
is the longest lasting. Consider also Radiesse.

For the fillers you mentioned, the longest acting one is probably
Perlane (Latisse is for eyelashes and Dysport is not a filler).
Radiesse is longer lasting than any of the fillers you have mentioned.
Generally speaking, the more volume required, the thicker the product
used so Perlane and Radiesse are great for cheeks. They may also be
appropriate for your naso-labial folds, but this is determined by your
injector in consultation with you. We suggest you go to several
consultations to get the pros and cons of each.
