JUVÉDERM®

With age, the face begins to lose volume and accumulate lines and wrinkles, in part due to the breakdown of collagen. At Koch & Carlisle Plastic Surgery & Spa, our providers have extensive experience performing dermal filler injections for women and men who wish to smooth creases or add youthful volume to specific areas of the face. Our highly skilled team has performed more injectable filler treatments than any other providers in Iowa.

Fillers can instantly provide subtle but natural‐looking results that last 6 to 12 months or even more. These versatile products can also be used to rejuvenate the mouth area through lip injections. Our providers offer injectable dermal fillers such as JUVÉDERM® in West Des Moines, IA, for a nonsurgical approach to youthful, supple skin.

What Can Dermal Fillers Be Used For?

Fillers are different from BOTOX® Cosmetic in that they add volume to the skin to improve the appearance of laxity, lines and wrinkles. Injectable dermal fillers such as JUVÉDERM are excellent options for:

• Smoothing facial lines and wrinkles
• Adding volume and improving the contours of the cheeks, chin, and jaw
• Filling in thin or wrinkled lips
• Correcting nasolabial folds or “smile lines”
• Diminishing the appearance of acne scars

Injectable fillers are a temporary solution for these concerns, so the best candidates have realistic goals and expectations.

Liquid Rhinoplasty

Liquid rhinoplasty, also called a nonsurgical nose job, is performed by injecting dermal filler into the skin of the nose. Here are some of this procedure’s pros and cons.

Liquid Facelift

A liquid facelift, also called a nonsurgical facelift, is performed using dermal fillers to restore lost volume and BOTOX to smooth away dynamic wrinkles. This procedure is best for patients with early to moderate facial aging who aren’t ready for surgery.

What Are the Different Types of JUVÉDERM Fillers?

JUVÉDERM is an injectable filler that can improve the appearance of deep facial wrinkles, folds, lines, and acne scars, enhance the lips, and contour facial features like the chin and cheeks. JUVÉDERM is made of hyaluronic acid, a natural substance found in all species which is highly attracted to water and has the ability to bind to it. The results are very natural and long‐lasting, with the effect remaining for 6 months or longer.

JUVÉDERM VOLUMA® XC contains hyaluronic acid like the other products, but it is thicker and designed to give a lifted appearance to the cheek area. VOLUMA XC is the only filler approved by the FDA specifically to restore age‐related volume loss in the mid‐face. The gel is injected deeper than other fillers and is clinically proven to provide results that last up to 2 years when performed by an experienced injector. VOLUMA XC is pre‐mixed with a local anesthetic to ensure your comfort during the procedure.

JUVÉDERM VOLBELLA® XC is a soft, pliable hyaluronic acid filler that is specifically formulated for lip enhancement. We use this versatile product to:

• Plump up and sculpt the lips
• Lift downturned corners of the mouth
• Smooth away lines around the lips (sometimes called “smoker’s lines”)

VOLBELLA includes lidocaine for enhanced comfort during treatments. Results are subtle and natural‐looking, and may last up to 1 year.

Dermal Filler Procedures

To begin your injectable procedure, your doctor will consult with you to ensure that you will achieve the natural looking results you want. Depending on the areas being treated, dermal filler injections typically take 15 to 40 minutes to complete and are performed in our office.

When performing the procedure, a topical anesthetic, local anesthetic, or nerve block may first be administered for your comfort before injecting the filler directly beneath the skin with a very fine needle.

Recovery

After the procedure, some patients may experience redness or swelling at the injection site, which can last for a few days. Work and other normal activities, however, can be resumed right after treatment. JUVÉDERM and JUVÉDERM VOLUMA XC are safe and effective injectables that can be used for all skin types and colors.
