JUVÉDERM® Before & After Case 133

Part of the aging process is loss of volume in the face. After the age of forty, they say that you lose a tablespoon of volume from your face each year....although its hard to say how anyone knows this exact value, it is clear that when we add volume back to the face in tasteful ways, we have improvement in looks and overall rejuvenation. Dr. Collins prefers to use filler in a way that an entire area is treated to completion. One syringe of filler has about a fifth of a teaspoon of volume. When you consider how much you lose per year, it is safe to say that most people need more than one syringe to correct the amount of volume they have lost. This patient had six syringes of various hyaluronic acid fillers as well as botox to give this very subtle and beautiful rejuvenation. Dr. Collins offers a liquid facelift to her patients at a flat fee. For this fee, you will get as many syringes as you need to correct your volume loss. This is followed two weeks later with a follow up check and touch up if you need more syringes at no additional cost to the patient. It is useful to have this artistic freedom to add volume where it is needed and not have the patient have to worry about extra cost. In this way patients leave satisfied with a result and with no fear of unknown charges.
