44 Years Old Considering Juvederm for Parentheses: What Results Can I Expect?

My parenthesis are noticeable and definitely age me, how much of a reduction can I expect by having this procedure done?

A: Fillers work great for reduction of nasolabial folds

Hi,

A filler in this area, such as Restylane, Perlane, Juvederm or Radiesse, will work well in this area for you. The amount of reduction in the folds depends on the amount of product that is placed in the area, as well as who is performing the injection. Since you will be having a filler for the first time, I would start conservatively (half a syringe on each side) and then waiting 10-14 days for the results to take form. At this point you can decide whether you want additional product injected in each side. This will allow you to adjust the level of reduction to your liking. Hope this helps!

Second Session of Juvederm

Juvederm Second Session : I Am 33 Years with Mild Smile Lines Which Looked More Pronounced Under Makeup.

I had juvederm ultra plus (one syringe on both sides) and was quite pleased with the results, except that the lines did not completely vanish, but were fairly less noticeable.Its been 6 months now and although juvederm effect is still there, it isnt as fresh. I am considering another session of the ultra plus. Pls advise if I should wait for the entire Juvederm to dissolve further or would it be advisable to undergo another ultra plus session. If yes,what amount would you advise? Thanks!

A: Second session of Juvederm

Dear Trnky1,

As long as an experienced injector is performing it, there is no harm in a second session of Juvederm. It is difficult to say how much you should receive this time around without examining you. It is best left to your injector to examine you and then the two of you can arrive at that decision together. Good luck to you!

Why Can I Feel the Juvederm Thread Under my Skin?

I can feel the thread of jevederm injection, is this normal?

I just had my first juvederm injection. I love the results however when the doctor was injecting a marinette line it hurt much worse than the other side and I first thought it felt numb..when I got home I realized I can feel I think what is called the thread, will this disolve or it is normal, I plan to call the office but am curious what other specialist have to say.

A: Juvederm injected too superficially

If you can feel the Juvederm beneath the skin, it may have been injected too superficially or close to the skin's surface.  Certain areas have very thin skin (under eyes) and the Juvederm product needs to be injected fairly deeply to avoid a visible bulge or a palpable bulge.  The bulge will eventually resolve as this product only lasts about 6-8 months. However if the bump/bulge troubles you, I would recommend you ask your injector to consider injecting Hyaluronidase, which is a chemical that can help dissolve the active ingredient in the Juvederm.

Best wishes,

Dr. Bruno
