Restore Youthful Volume and
Facial Contours
JUVÉDERM is a hyaluronic acid-based filler used to add volume and re-volumize areas of the face that have experienced age-related loss. In Dr. Morwood’s practice, it is commonly used to enhance the cheekbones, fill in the tear troughs, soften lip lines, and improve the definition of the chin and jawline. These fillers are categorized by their G prime value, which indicates how thick or viscous they are, allowing placement either deep in the tissue or more superficially.
JUVÉDERM Treats:
- Loss of volume in the cheeks and midface
- Tear trough hollows beneath the lower eyelids
- Lip lines and loss of lip definition
- Desire for a more defined, “pouty” lip
- Chin retrusion and lack of forward projection
- Poor definition along the jawline
- Facial lines and wrinkles present at rest
- Early signs of facial aging due to volume loss
JUVÉDERM FAQs
How Does JUVÉDERM Differ From Neuromodulators Like BOTOX?
JUVÉDERM and neuromodulators like BOTOX serve very different roles. Neuromodulators act as muscle relaxants, softening wrinkles caused by facial animation. JUVÉDERM is a hyaluronic acid-based filler formulated to re-volumize facial areas. If your lines are present at rest, adding volume with a filler may provide more improvement than relaxing the muscles alone.
Where Is JUVÉDERM Typically Injected?
You may have JUVÉDERM placed in several areas depending on your goals. It is commonly used to enhance the cheekbones, fill the tear troughs, soften lip lines, define the jawline, and bring the chin forward. The exact treatment area and placement depend on whether volume is needed deep into the tissue or more superficially.
Is JUVÉDERM Reversible if I Do Not Like the Result?
One of the key advantages of hyaluronic acid-based fillers like JUVÉDERM is their reversible nature. If needed, a widely available enzyme called hyaluronidase can be injected to dissolve the filler. This provides an added level of reassurance when considering treatment.
How Long Does Treatment Take, and What Is Recovery Like?
JUVÉDERM is considered a “lunchtime treatment.” The injection process typically takes under an hour, does not require a general anesthetic, and involves essentially no downtime. You may experience some swelling and bruising for a couple of days, but this can usually be covered with makeup and does not require limiting your daily activities.
Are Fillers as Effective as Fat Grafting or Surgery?
While JUVÉDERM is effective for adding volume, it is not as powerful as fat grafting or surgical procedures. However, it is a much simpler process with a very favorable benefit-to-risk ratio and little downside when appropriately selected.
