Juvederm Ultra 2-3-4 in EU and Canada

Thank you for your question. Canadian Juvederm presentations are the same than in EU (Europe), but different from Juvederm (Allergan) commercial products in USA. It's not a good idea to alter the pre-charged syringe/needle of the product; it's related to the viscosity (cross-linking) of the hyaluronic acid gel molecules of the product inside. The main difference among Juvederm Ultra 2-3-4 is product is product viscosity. Higher crosslinked gels, result in a higher volume... more

Juvederm for filling

The Canadian fillers are slightly different from what we have in the United States, but it is wise to not change needles from what the company suggests to be used per that syringe. Different viscosities of the fillers could make it dangerous to use a different needle and if it's too small in its lumenal diameter for the thicker filler, the needle might fly off the syringe during the increased pressure used to try to force filler out of the needle.

Juvederm and needle type

In the US we currently use Juvederm Ultra and Juvederm Ultra Plus. The latter would be a very effective way to add volume to areas of loss. It cannot however be used with a 30g needle. Allergan strongly suggests that Juvederm Ultra Plus be performed using the 27g needle that comes with the product. If attempts are made at using a 30g needle, the needle will explode off the syringe and may cause harm to the patient. Juvederm Ultra is more effective on finer wrinkles.

Juvederm for nasal folds

Juvederm is great for the nasal folds and for the lines around the chin. Juvederm is great here because it's soft and will feel like the tissues around it. The hollows of your cheek may be best treated with Radiesse. Radiesse has slightly larger particles than juvederm, it lasts longer, and is great for adding volume to hollow areas.

Juvaderm Ultra

Juvederm is used in all the areas you mention, but I prefer Radiesse because it will last longer, even though it costs a little more.

Fillers for around the mouth and nose

Most of the injectable fillers on the market have been initially developed and approved through the FDA processes for the nasolabial creases. Injections to the marionette lines below the corners of the mouth are effective for early stages, bu for severe lines, the extra volume may only serve to make the cheeks heavier and accelerate drooping and jowling. I am very conservative in this region. Do ask your surgeon about alternative choices before having... more

I prefer Radiesse for the depressions you describe. It lasts 2 or more years while juviderm lasts up to a year.

Juvaderm ultra plus is a better option for deep volume filling in the face

Juvaderm ultra plus is a better option for deep volume filling in the face. The larger particle size gives more substance to the augmentation.

Radiesse and Sculptra are best for volume

To properly add volume to the areas you mentioned, a filler that stimulates collagen production will be much more effective. It is important to understand the difference between "stimulatory" fillers and "wrinkle" fillers. When treating problems due to volume loss such as cheek hollows and sagging skin beside the mouth, I will almost always use stimulatory fillers such as Radiesse and/or Sculptra. They are injected deeper, beneath the skin, and will generate more volume... more
