Juvederm : Only juvederm is fda approved and legal in the us. Aquamid has gone through clinical trials but has not been approved for any use in the us. Aquamid may provide long-term or permanent correction as opposed to juvederm, which lasts only several months. However, any physician who offers to inject aquamid (as of today, 9/29/13) is violating federal law- beware!

Fillers: There are many fillers on the market now. Which is better is really doctor preference although some fillers can be better in certain areas of the face. Have your face evaluated by a board certified facial plastic surgeon.

I avoid "permanent": Though Aquamid is not available in the US, it is in other countries. (I agree that if it's being offered in the US you should avoid that office altogether). I generally recommend that my patients avoid permanent fillers though, especially when they are young like you, because you don't know how your face will change over the next 20 years. You may end up with volume where you don't want or need it
