About Juvederm® & Injectable Fillers
Juvederm® and fillers are versatile treatments that can address various concerns such as volume loss, hollow under-eye circles, sunken cheeks, nose and mouth lines, and thinning lips. They can be used alongside BOTOX® to effectively soften wrinkles for patients in their 20s, 30s, and 40s. However, as we age, additional treatments beyond BOTOX® and fillers may be required to maintain a youthful and natural appearance. Overuse of these treatments can make a person look unnatural and older. That's why choosing an experienced plastic surgeon who can perform both fillers and surgery is important.
The procedure typically takes about an hour to complete. During the procedure, Dr. Fan will use his skills to determine the areas that need to be treated and inject the fillers accordingly. The injections are done with precision and care, ensuring natural and noticeable results.
Other fillers we offer include:
- Restylane®
- Versa®
- Radiesse®
- Sculptura®
- Bellafill®
- Voluma®
Am I a candidate for injectable dermal fillers?
Fillers are suitable for individuals who are bothered by sunken cheeks, thinning lips, facial wrinkles, or folds. These treatments can be beneficial for patients in their 20s, 30s, and 40s, as well as older individuals who require additional treatments to maintain a youthful appearance. Dr. Fan's expertise as both a plastic surgeon and an injector allows him to determine if injectables alone are suitable or if surgery is needed to achieve a natural look.
Recovery
One of the biggest advantages of fillers is that you can resume your normal activities immediately after the procedure. However, it's important to note that temporary side effects such as bruising, swelling, redness, and tenderness are common. These side effects usually subside within several days.
To minimize bruising, it is recommended to avoid aspirin or anti-inflammatories for two weeks prior to the filler treatment. It's also recommended to avoid special events for at least two weeks after the treatment as a precaution.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. What is the difference between Juvederm® and other fillers?
Juvederm® is a brand name for a type of filler called hyaluronic acid (HA) filler. It is one of the most popular and widely used fillers due to its versatility and natural-looking results. Other fillers, such as Restylane® and Radiesse®, have different formulations and may be used for specific areas or concerns.
2. How long do fillers last?
The duration of fillers varies depending on the type of filler used, the treatment area, and individual factors. HA fillers like Juvederm® typically last 6 to 12 months, while denser fillers like Voluma® can last up to two years. Synthetic fillers, such as Sculptra, can have results that last more than two years.
3. Are there any side effects from fillers?
Like any medical procedure, there can be potential side effects from fillers. Common side effects include temporary discomfort, bruising, swelling, redness, and tenderness at the injection site. These usually subside within a few days. Rare complications include contour irregularities, nodule formation, over-correction, chronic swelling, and allergic reactions.
4. How do fillers differ from BOTOX® Cosmetic?
Fillers and BOTOX® Cosmetic are both used to address signs of aging, but they work in different ways. Fillers physically fill in wrinkles and restore volume, while BOTOX® temporarily relaxes facial muscles to reduce the appearance of wrinkles caused by muscle movement. In some cases, both fillers and BOTOX® may be used together for optimal results.
5. Do filler injections hurt?
Most patients experience minimal discomfort during filler injections. Many fillers also contain lidocaine, a local anesthetic, to help numb the area and minimize any pain or discomfort. Additional numbing techniques, such as ice or topical numbing creams, can be used to ensure your comfort during the procedure.
6. How can I prevent bruising after filler injections?
While bruising is a possible side effect of filler injections, there are steps you can take to minimize the risk. It is recommended to avoid aspirin or anti-inflammatory medications for at least two weeks prior to your treatment, as these can increase the chances of bruising. Applying ice packs to the treated area after the procedure can also help reduce swelling and minimize the risk of bruising.
