As we age, collagen production decreases, and we lose facial volume. This volume loss results in the most common signs of aging: fine lines and wrinkles, deep creases, sagging skin, and lax contours.
While plastic surgery procedures like facelifts can significantly improve skin laxity and wrinkles, they cannot restore volume.
Using dermal fillers, such as the JUVÉDERM® line, your plastic surgeon or medical professional can target multiple signs of aging in one minimally invasive treatment.
1.Contour and Add Volume to the Cheeks
Volume loss in the cheeks can contribute to a thin, gaunt appearance that may prematurely age you.
Alternatively, if you have naturally thin cheeks, you may wish to add fullness to the cheeks with JUVEDÉRM® injections.
2.Refine and Shape the Chin
A weak or undefined chin can detract from the overall profile of your face. Dermal fillers can add volume in precise areas to enhance your profile for a more contoured look.
While surgical procedures can permanently add volume to the chin (in the way of facial implants), JUVÉDERM® injections are a great place to start if you are unsure you’re ready for the commitment.
3.Plump the Lips
Soft, plump lips can create better facial balance and are a standard of feminine beauty for many women.
One of the first places to lose collagen is the lips, causing the mouth to look thinner and older. Dermal fillers containing hyaluronic acid can enhance the volume and hydration of the lips for a more plump, youthful appearance.
4.Smooth Creases Around the Mouth and Nose
Collagen and elastin loss are some of the leading causes of facial wrinkles. While neuromodulators such as BOTOX® Cosmetic are effective for dynamic wrinkles in the forehead and around the eyes, static creases (caused by aging, sun damage, and lifestyle factors) require different treatments.
Dermal fillers literally fill in the creases, such as those around the mouth and nose (marionette lines), creating a smoother surface.
5.Eliminate Wrinkles Around the Mouth
Fine lines and wrinkles around the mouth, sometimes called smoker’s lines, can occur with age or repetitive facial movements (puckering the lips, using a straw, or smoking).
Hyaluronic acid in dermal fillers is thick enough to smooth these lines while malleable enough to move naturally with your mouth. Eliminating these wrinkles can greatly rejuvenate the face, with added hydration for a plumper, more youthful result.
How to Choose the Right Cosmetic Injections
The JUVÉDERM® family of fillers consists of many products, each with a specific function and treatment area. Choosing the correct filler for your goals is crucial to achieving ideal results. Additionally, selecting a licensed medical practitioner to administer your cosmetic injections is the only way to ensure you receive the correct injection, dosage, and placement.
Although cosmetic injectables are temporary, administering them incorrectly can have disastrous results. This is why you should choose the expert injectors at Precision M.D. Cosmetic Surgery Center in Sacramento.
