Look at the comparison between a juvederm syringe and an empty 3 cc syringe (slightly wider, but not by that much). Why is 1 cc of juvederm 5 cm long and 1 cm wide (I measured)? That's 5 cc of "space" taken up by the gel, right? I have very precise reconstructive needs after a number of bad procedures and surgeries, and I need to know exactly what "1 cc" or "1 syringe" of this filler provides in terms of volumizing. Ultra plus is the same "size" and I don't understand it.

Thank you for your question. This is probably the Tyndell effect. You can improve this by dissolving the filler with hyaluronidase. If there was staining after the injection this can also be hemosiderin staining. I recommend having this evaluated by your injector. Best of Luck!
I recommend fillers to soften the nasolabial folds themselves and also lift around the mouth and cheeks to build underlying anatomical support. In our practice we combine Sculptra with other fillers "layered" on top and lasers, skin tightening treatments such as Thermage, Fractora, and Renuvion...
