What Areas can be Treated With Juvederm XC Ultra Plus?
It can be used throughout the face. However, there are a number of areas where this filler should not be used:
- The lower eyelid. When Juvederm is injected into the lower eyelids, it will regularly produce an unsightly lumpiness to the skin. Avoid use of this filler in the lower eyelids.
- The cheek in patients who have a droopy cheek. Juvederm will not lift tissue. It will only volumize the area in which it is injected. As such, in patients who want a cheek lift, Juvederm XC Ultra will not effectively lift the area, but it will make you look like a chipmunk if you inject too much. For patients with cheek descent, we commonly use Radiesse Plus, or Voluma, to elevated the cheek as both of these injectables provide tissue elevation. Juvederm XC Ultra should only be used in this context as a microinjection to provide moisturization over the longer term.
