Juvederm
Q & A
Q: Severe Neurological Symptoms After
Juvederm, What Can I Do?
A: Neurological symptoms after Juvederm...
Juvederm injections would be highly unlikely to result in
neurological symptoms. The substance is totally natural and
doesn't affect the nerves. There are possible side effects that
can occur such as bruising, and even skin problems such as skin
loss in an extreme situation, but not what you are describing.
Seeing an additional physician is mandatory, and further testing
will be required so a diagnosis can be indentified. Make an
appointment immediately to continue your evaluation, but these
symptoms would not due to the Juvederm.
Q: Compared to other fillers, what are the
pros and cons of Juvederm?
A: Juvederm or another filler...?
Juvederm is a great filler, but there are other procedures that
can be done. Radiesse is another injectable that is used to fill
in the Nasolabial folds that typically lasts about 12 months,
while Juvederm lasts about 8 months. Fat harvest and injection,
using your own fat, may give a more permanent result. All of the
procedures will give you immediate results. Contact your facial
plastic surgeon to discuss these options with him.
Q: Juvederm Lip Injections - 3 Days
Later, Barely a Difference?
A: Juvederm results last anywhere from six to nine
months. The results are usually natural, and seen immediately.
Your body absorbs the hyaluronic acid over time so the
injections must be repeated periodically to maintain the
refreshed look. Your results definitely show enhancement, but
it is important to remember that the most important part of the
plastic surgery process is communication. Therefore it is vital
that you go back to see your plastic surgeon and
communicate your desires, and let him see if more filler is
needed.
Q: I
Had a Facelift 4 Years Ago and Don't Want Another One What Can I
Do to Help Sagging?
A: Alternative options for deep jowl areas...
A key thing to understand is that as a person ages, volume is
lost in the face. That contributes to things such as jowling or
folds around the mouth. So instead of surgery, if you do things
to restore the volume then you can look rejuvenated.
Alternative options instead of a facelift to treat the jowl area
are injectables such as Juvederm and Radiesse. These are an
affordable, noninvasive temporary solution. Another possibility
is fat injections. Injecting fat is a minor procedure that is
easy to go through under local anesthesia to harvest the fat,
usually from the upper thigh area. The fat is then injected
into the nasal labial folds, and is built up over a period of a
year. You also might be a great candidate for Sculptra.
Sculptra works by a series of injections over time that
stimulates your body's own collagen production. Consult your
board certified facial plastic surgeon to see what your best
possibly options would give you the results for you.
