What is Juvederm®?
Juvederm® is a collection of fillers that include five different products. Whether you want to plump your lips, smooth lines, or lift and contour cheeks, there is a Juvederm product designed for that. Juvederm Voluma for cheeks, Juvederm XC and Vollure for lines, Juvederm VolbellaXC and Juvederm Ultra XC for lips.
All the Juvederm fillers have a hyaluronic acid-base. Dr. Leveque, Dr. Patterson, & Dr. Butler primarily use Juvederm® to treat nasolabial folds, marionette lines, and jowls. Juvederm® is also a good filler for lip augmentation.
How is the procedure performed and how long does it last?
When injecting Juvederm®, Dr. Leveque, Dr. Patterson, & Dr. Butler may use small disposable cannulas. These cannulas are not larger than the standard needles packaged with Juvederm®; however, they and many other plastic surgeons have found that injecting Juvederm® with cannulas is safer and causes less bruising because the dull cannula tip is less likely to enter or cut small blood vessels.
If you have a history of cold sores, your plastic surgeon will place you on prophylactic Valtrex® a few days prior to having any injections around your mouth. This will help prevent cold sore (Herpes simplex) eruptions after filler injections.

What to Expect from Your Juvederm Injections
HA filler injections are done in the office and take less than an hour to perform. Results last anywhere from 4-12 months with most people being satisfied with the result for 9-12 months. Some patients may experience swelling, bruising and mild redness after filler injection so it is a good idea to schedule filler injections at least a week before any major events.
Cost
