What Type of Licensing is Required in Portland Oregon for Juvederm Botox? I did a lot of research and found a great Dr. who has been practicing same office for 30 years. I had a mini face lift and am very happy with outcome. But I decided to get a little filler work done (first time) he suggested I make appointment with the Injectionist in his office. I am very concerned now about what I look like and I started to dig a little and she is not licensed with any state bar that I can find. Is this legal in Oregon? I though she would have to have some type of license.

A: Type of licensing required in Portland for juvederm and botox

Oregon's policy as outlined on the Oregon Medical Board website can be found here:

(note: realself won't allow me to link it, so you can direct message me for the link, or search the oregon medical board site for botulinum toxin, 5th result down)

Professionals such as nurse practitioners (NPs), physician's assistants (PAs), and estheticians can perform injections. I can't speak for NPs, but in the case of PA and estheticians, they are required to be supervised by a physician with the physician being ultimately responsible for treatment results. If you do choose an non-physician, the level of supervision is key.

Often times you will see medispas that perform these services with a "ghost" physician or medical director who supervises in name only. You want to steer clear of these places. Furthermore, many of these places lure patients with deals, groupons, pretty waiting rooms, etc...Cheaper is not always better and sometimes (unfortunately) you get what you pay for. For more information on choosing an injector you can visit injectablesafety dot org. It's put out by all of the societies represented on the realself site.

Good luck and have a nice day!

Would Juvederm for Mild Cheek Augmentation Work Well on 29 Year Old Men? I want the filler I choose to make my cheeks look muscular and chiseled (as opposed to soft and feminine which I understand fillers can often make them look). Would Juvederm be the best filler to achieve this on male cheeks, or another filler? Which section of the cheeks should I look to have the filler injected - the sides or front of the cheeks? And does Juvederm gnerally give natural-looking results in the cheeks? Thank you in advance for your help.

A: Cheek augmentation with juvederm You can get a very subtle, natural looking cheek augmentation using juvederm . The nice thing about Juvederm is that it feels soft and is also reversible. My experience is that it typically lasts for about a year in that area. One option you might consider is fat injections, it lasts longer and you can get more volume with it. It is the most natural filler , since it is your own tissue.

Will Juvederm Ultra Improve Jowls? I am 62 but look late 40's (good genes). Would Juvederm Ultra get rid of my jowls? They are not a major problem but I notice them and would like to improve the look of my jaw line.

A: Juvederm can improve jowls

With minimal jowling a filler such as Juvederm, Radiesse or fat transfer can improve the appearance of jowls. The filler is placed in front of the jowl , filling in the depression, thus giving a more rounded contour to the chin. This is great technique in the right individual.
