Wrinkles and hollow areas can change your appearance and make you appear tired, angry, or sad. While some people consider plastic surgery to correct visible signs of aging, others are not ready or able to commit to an invasive procedure. JUVÉDERM is a safe and effective alternative that can achieve many of the same results as surgery without anesthesia, scarring, or recovery time. JUVÉDERM wrinkle fillers also address a wide range of facial concerns at the same time. Dr. Motakef provides outcomes that look and feel natural.

The ideal candidates for JUVÉDERM injectable dermal fillers are adults who have lines and wrinkles on their face that they would like to correct. It can also be beneficial if you have naturally thin or age-related volume loss in your lips and/or cheeks. JUVÉDERM wrinkle filler treatments at Motakef Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery are fantastic if you are looking to refresh the appearance of your face without the expense and downtime of a surgical procedure (like eyelid lifts, brow lifts, facelifts, or lip implants).

JUVÉDERM treatments commonly only last about 15 – 30 minutes, depending on the number of areas being addressed. Your face will be cleaned and injection sites will be selected. If desired, numbing cream can be applied to the areas before your treatment. To reduce discomfort during the procedure, JUVÉDERM dermal fillers contain lidocaine (a local anesthetic). After your treatment, you are allowed to resume your daily routine; however, strenuous activity, like exercise, should be skipped for at least a day. You should be cautious to not apply pressure to your face immediately after your JUVÉDERM injections to avoid moving the gel into unwanted areas.

You should experience a visible improvement immediately after your JUVÉDERM treatment, but you could also have mild swelling or bruising in the injected areas of the face for about 7 – 10 days. The results of JUVÉDERM dermal fillers typically can be seen for up to a year; some patients notice that their improvements last over a year after a few treatments. Talk to Dr. Motakef about how soon to book a touch-up or full session at Motakef Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery to maintain your results.

Is JUVÉDERM safe?
JUVÉDERM is made from hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring substance that adds volume and hydration to your skin. This means that the risk of an allergic reaction is very low. If you have any history of skin problems or allergies, be sure to tell Dr. Motakef or a member of our team before you receive JUVÉDERM injections. We can make sure JUVÉDERM is safe for your needs.

Does JUVÉDERM create natural outcomes?
JUVÉDERM results are natural-looking, especially when compared to more invasive cosmetic treatments like facelift surgery. Our staff at Motakef Plastic Surgery + Med Spa is experienced in administering JUVÉDERM injections to create outcomes that look and feel great. We work with each patient to ensure they love their new appearance.

Should I choose JUVÉDERM or wrinkle relaxers?
JUVÉDERM and wrinkle relaxers are two popular aesthetic treatments, but they work in different ways. JUVÉDERM is a dermal filler that adds volume to the skin, while wrinkle relaxers temporarily paralyze the muscles that cause creases and fine lines. The best way to figure out which treatment is right for you is during a consultation in Anaheim Hills, CA.

How much does JUVÉDERM cost?
Costs for Juvéderm will be based on the amount of filler that is needed to achieve your cosmetic goals. Before your Juvéderm treatment, a customized treatment plan will be developed to fit your aesthetic goals and budget. After this, your injector can estimates costs and discuss payment options.

Are JUVÉDERM injections painful?
While most patients don't think it's necessary, a numbing cream can be applied to the treatment area before injection if you are concerned about any discomfort. Following the injection, you might feel mild to moderate bruising and swelling that will usually subside within a week. You should contact our office if you experience any severe pain or abnormal side effects after your injection.

What is the difference between a wrinkle filler and relaxer?
Fillers and relaxers address wrinkles throughout the face, but through different methods. Wrinkle relaxers, like BOTOX, smooth dynamic wrinkles caused by chronic muscle contractions. Juvéderm is an injectable wrinkle filler that corrects static wrinkles by increasing volume. Juvéderm is ideal for treating mild to moderate wrinkles or to add volume to your cheeks and lips.
