A favorite of Dr. Miller’s, Juvederm is a top-tier volume enhancer that yields beautiful, consistent results.
What is a Juvederm treatment like?
Juvederm is a minimally-invasive, non-surgical procedure that is done while the patient is awake. The treatment is not painful because the numbing agent lidocaine is an active ingredient in Juvederm fillers; however, the patient may feel slight pinching when the needle is inserted. If needed, Dr. Miller can apply local anesthesia or a topical numbing cream to ease discomfort. Dr. Miller uses a very thin needle to administer the Juvederm directly under the skin. The amount of filler used and its exact placement is determined by the scope of correction desired. Though it may not seem like it, there is a great deal of artistry and skill involved in filler treatments. An untrained or inexperienced practitioner may not understand subtlety and leave a patient with the dreaded ‘duck face.’ For the best results, it is important to choose an experienced plastic surgeon who specializes in facial cosmetic procedures like Dr. Miller.
