Treatments with Juvederm
At Boston Plastic Surgery, we can administer Juvederm for a variety of cosmetic treatments. Dr. Samaha takes great pride in administering all facial injectables himself. The most common application is in the nasolabial folds, or "smile lines" –the lines that travel from each side of your nose to the corners of your mouth. In some cases, Juvederm will be recommended for treating areas such as the marionette lines, lips, cheeks or tear trough deformity.
Juvederm for Lip Enhancement
Dr. Samaha believes that Juvederm is the best currently available filler for lip augmentation. Its smooth texture, easy flow, and longevity make it a great filler for the lips. Dr. Samaha loves to enhance lips without making them look "overdone", enhancing their sensual look while maintaining a natural appearance.
What to Expect During Your Juvederm Visit
The doctor will first identify the areas for correction and then cleanse the skin. Topical anesthetic, ice or a nerve block can be used to provide comfort during the injection. Using a fine needle, Juvederm is injected beneath the skin to a specific depth. Below the dermis, Juvederm binds with water and the naturally occurring hyaluronic acid in your body. Volume in the skin is thereby increased to fill out age-related wrinkles and folds.
After the injection, the treated area may feel fuller than normal. This will subside quickly as you adjust to the results. During the first 24 hours, you should avoid sun or heat exposure. You should also refrain from rigorous exercise or alcohol consumption. If you experience any swelling, Dr. Samaha may advise you to apply an ice pack for a short period of time.
How long will the results last?
Although the results vary, most patients can expect the correction to last 6 to 12 months. Your body will slowly break down the hyaluronic acid and clear it away. Ask Dr. Samaha when you should return for a touch up Juvederm treatment.
