Juvederm® & Injectable Fillers
Juvederm and other dermal fillers are non-surgical cosmetic treatments designed to rejuvenate and enhance facial contours by restoring volume and smoothing out wrinkles, lines, and folds. These fillers are typically composed of hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring substance in the body that attracts and retains moisture. By injecting hyaluronic acid into targeted areas, such as the cheeks, lips, and around the mouth, dermal fillers can add volume, improve facial symmetry, and diminish the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. The results are immediate and can last from several months to over a year, depending on the specific filler used and individual metabolism. Dermal fillers are popular for their ability to provide subtle yet noticeable improvements without the need for surgery, offering patients a refreshed and more youthful appearance with minimal downtime.
Benefits
Juvederm® and dermal fillers can replenish lost volume in facial contours, contributing to a rejuvenated appearance.
Fillers effectively smooth wrinkles such as nasolabial folds, marionette lines, and crow's feet, providing a more youthful look.
Juvederm® and fillers are versatile for contouring the face, enhancing features like cheeks, chin, and jawline for enhanced definition.
Unlike invasive surgeries like facelifts, Juvederm® and fillers offer a non-invasive approach without incisions or extended recovery periods.
Juvederm® and fillers provide tailored results, allowing for personalized adjustments to achieve desired aesthetic goals.
A key advantage of Juvederm® and fillers is their temporary nature, offering flexibility to explore different treatments and adapt as desired.
About Juvederm® & Injectable Fillers
Juvederm® and other fillers offer versatile solutions for addressing a range of concerns including volume loss, hollow under-eye circles, sunken cheeks, nasolabial folds, and thin lips. They complement BOTOX® treatments effectively for patients in their 20s, 30s, and 40s, softening wrinkles. However, as we age, additional procedures may become necessary to maintain a natural, youthful appearance. Overusing these treatments can lead to an unnatural and prematurely aged look, underscoring the importance of selecting a skilled plastic surgeon proficient in both fillers and surgical options.
The procedure typically lasts about an hour. During this time, Dr. Gilbert carefully identifies areas needing treatment and administers fillers with precision. This approach ensures results that are both subtle and noticeable.
Our fillers include:
- Restylane®
- Versa®
- Radiesse®
- Sculptra®
- Bellafill®
- Voluma®
Am I a candidate for injectable dermal fillers?
Fillers provide a solution for those troubled by issues like sunken cheeks, thin lips, facial wrinkles, or folds. They are beneficial for patients in their 20s, 30s, and 40s, as well as older individuals seeking to maintain a youthful appearance. Dr. Gilbert's dual expertise as a plastic surgeon and injector enables him to assess whether injectables alone suffice or if surgery is necessary for achieving a natural aesthetic.
Recovery
A significant advantage of fillers is the ability to resume normal activities immediately post-procedure. However, temporary side effects such as bruising, swelling, redness, and tenderness are common but typically diminish within a few days. To minimize bruising, it's advisable to refrain from taking aspirin or anti-inflammatories two weeks before the filler treatment. It's also prudent to avoid special events for at least two weeks following the treatment as a precaution.
