What is Juvederm Ultra?

Juvederm Ultra is an FDA-approved hyaluronic acid-based dermal filler designed to address signs of aging and facial volume loss. Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring substance that helps provide skin moisture, elasticity, and plumpness. As we age, the production of hyaluronic acid decreases, leading to wrinkles, fine lines, and a loss of facial volume.

Juvederm Ultra works by replenishing hyaluronic acid in the skin, restoring volume, and smoothing out wrinkles and folds. It is an excellent option for individuals wanting to achieve a more youthful and rejuvenated appearance without surgery.

Am I a Good Candidate For Juvederm Ultra?

To ensure safe and effective treatment with Juvederm Ultra, our Florida Plastic Surgery Group providers assess each individual's medical history and conduct a thorough examination. While Juvederm Ultra suits most people, certain factors may make someone ineligible for treatment. These factors include:

Allergies

Individuals with known allergies to lidocaine, which is present in Juvederm Ultra, may not be suitable candidates for this treatment.

Pregnancy and breast-feeding

It is generally advised to postpone Juvederm Ultra injections until after pregnancy and breastfeeding.

Skin infections or active skin conditions

If you have an active skin infection or inflammatory skin condition, it is recommended to wait until the condition has resolved before undergoing treatment.

Medications and medical conditions

Some drugs and medical conditions may interfere with the safety and effectiveness of Juvederm Ultra. It is crucial to disclose all your current medications, medical history, and any existing medical conditions to your provider during the consultation.

During your initial consultation at FPSG, our experienced plastic surgeon or physician assistant will thoroughly evaluate your suitability for Juvederm Ultra and discuss alternative options if necessary. Your safety and satisfaction are our top priorities, and we will guide you in making informed decisions about your cosmetic treatment journey.

Benefits of Juvederm Ultra

Juvederm Ultra can effectively diminish the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines, particularly around the nose, mouth, and chin.

Some of its other impressive benefits include the following:

Lip enhancement: If you desire fuller and more defined lips, Juvederm Ultra can help enhance the volume and shape of your lips, providing a natural-looking and youthful pout.
Facial contouring: By restoring lost volume to areas such as the cheeks and chin, Juvederm Ultra can help contour and sculpt your facial features, resulting in a more balanced and harmonious appearance.
Long-lasting results: Juvederm Ultra provides results that can last up to one year, allowing you to enjoy your enhanced appearance for an extended period.

The Treatment Process

During your consultation at FPSG, our experienced plastic surgeon or physician assistant will evaluate your facial features, discuss your aesthetic goals, and determine if Juvederm Ultra is the right treatment for you. The procedure itself is quick and minimally invasive, typically taking around 30 minutes to complete.

Juvederm Ultra is injected into the targeted areas using a fine needle. The treatment may involve using a local anesthetic or numbing cream to ensure comfort throughout the procedure. The hyaluronic acid gel integrates with the tissues, instantly restoring volume and smoothing wrinkles. You will be able to see the results immediately after the treatment, although some minor swelling or bruising may occur initially.

This was hands down the best experience I have had. Amazing bedside manners and respectful team and doctors. I couldn’t ask for a better experience and team.

I had the best experience with Dr. Fallucco and his team. They answered all my questions, and I am more than happy with my results.

Kimberly C.

Dr. Parks was amazing, and I’d recommend him to anyone. Be mindful that everyone heals differently and everybody’s body is different. So the healing process is truly a patience tester, but 10/10 I recommend.
