Juvederm summary

Juvederm summary

Juvederm has many uses all over the face. Some areas that Juvederm can treat include:

Patients can usually treat multiple areas at once. Juvederm also combines well with neurotoxin therapy such as BOTOX or Dysport. Your primary injector will discuss which areas are candidates for treatment and the best Juvederm filler for each area.

Advantages of fillers based on hyaluronic acid

Hyaluronic acid occurs naturally in the body, and its highest concentration is found in the eyes and joints. So while rejection or an allergy to the filler is possible, it's very unlikely. Another important advantage of hyaluronic acid fillers is that they contain a natural reversing factor, hyaluronidase.
‍
After injection, it breaks down the filler. If you experience significant side effects or complications, or are dissatisfied with your new appearance, there is a simple antidote. This also increases the safety of hyaluronic acid fillers compared to other types of fillers. In the event of a blockage (injection of a filler into a blood vessel) or an adverse event, they can be treated immediately at the doctor's office.
‍
While this may not seem like an advantage at first glance, the temporary nature of hyaluronic acid fillers allows patients to stop treatments at any time, try different filler options, and try a different look each time. This experimentation allows patients to find the filling option and technique that is right for them.

Consultation

Infusion process

First, the Master Injector will prepare the injection sites. This includes disinfecting areas with alcohol and cleaning them of makeup or environmental residue. They will then likely apply a topical anesthetic cream. This will stay for about ten to twenty minutes. During this time, your injector will prepare Juvederm.
‍
Your main injector will then start injecting the filler. Depending on the treatment, they may use a needle or a cannula. If you use a needle, they will start injections immediately. With the cannula, they will make a small entry point for the cannula with a small needle. Once the needle or cannula is in place, they will slowly inject the filler. They can move the needle around the injection site or inject multiple sites to increase the volume evenly for perfect results.
‍
For most areas, the injections themselves take no more than about ten to fifteen minutes. You can treat multiple areas at once. Along with the topical anesthetic cream, Juvederm contains a small amount of lidocaine to make it easier to inject the filler.

Frequently asked questions:

Containing the thinnest skin on the face, the eye area is prone to aging, skin damage and discoloration. As we age, the loss of fat around the eyes can cause excess skin to accumulate under the eyes. It can also cause significant dimples and a dark appearance under the eyes. This can cause the face to age prematurely, especially when combined with environmental damage. Lower eyelid surgery - or lower blepharoplasty - helps the lower eyelid look younger. Dr. Ludwig Allegra of Northwest Face & Body offers the best deals on Bellevue and Kirkland eyelid surgery.

Overview: Surgery of the lower eyelids

Lower eyelid surgery removes excess skin under the eyes and tightens the skin, giving it a younger appearance. As one of the first areas to start showing age, patients often seek this surgery at a younger ageface lift surgery. However, it is often combined with other rejuvenating treatments.

Due to the fact that it occupies a relatively small area, blepharoplasty is considered one of the least risky facial plastic surgeries. Patients also tend to recover well and fairly quickly compared to other procedures. It is usually run in parallel with oneupper eyelid surgeryand may includefat injectionsor repositioning depending on anatomy and goals.

Benefits and risks

All surgical procedures come with a unique set of benefits and risks. Understanding and honestly weighing them before choosing a knife is essential to ensure a good result. Overall, the procedure carries little risk and the benefits generally outweigh them. However, this will vary from patient to patient. During the consultation, Dr. Allegra will discuss your individual risk profile.

First, let's look at the benefits and benefits of lower eyelid surgery. Some benefits include:

• Remove excess skin
• Fix bags under the eyes
• Treat swelling
• Replace or add grease
• Remove excess fat
• Reduce wrinkles and fine lines
• Look more awake
• Brighter appearance under the eyes
• Reduce shadows
• Better vision (in some cases)
• Minimal scarring
• Natural results
• Keep the natural movement of the eyes and eyelids
• It can minimize eye strain or eye strain
• Quick process
• It can be easily combined with other facial plastic procedures
• Little regeneration or downtime
• Minimal pain after the procedure
• It is performed by a plastic surgeon with many years of experience in eyelid surgery

As mentioned, lower eyelid surgery is fairly low risk for most patients. However, it comes with typical surgical risks and higher risks for certain demographics. Some of the potential risks and complications associated with lower blepharoplasty include:

• Pollution
• Bleeding
• Long-term swelling or bruising
• Dry eye
• Visible or raised scars
• Injury to the muscles or nerves of the eye
• Vision complications (usually transient)

Transconjunctival and percutaneous incisions in lower blepharoplasty

There are two surgical approaches to lower eyelid surgery. First, Dr. Allegra may use a transconjunctival incision, which means she makes an incision inside the lower eyelid. This essentially eliminates the possibility of visible scarring. It also allows Dr. Allegra provides access to essential structures and keeps the incisions away from the eyeball.

A percutaneous incision is another option for lower blepharoplasty. This is probably the most common surgery under the eyes. The incision covers the edge of the lower eyelid, which hides it in the natural transition from the skin to the eye. This incision is farther away from the eye, but it can also cause visible scarring.

Sometimes both incisions are used during lower eyelid surgery. It depends a lot on your needs during surgery and your goals. Both tend to heal well and cause no noticeable scarring. However, there are times when one incision may be preferable to another. If a large amount of skin needs to be removed, Dr. Allegra may recommend a percutaneous incision. If there are concerns about the muscle, a transconjunctival incision may be recommended.

Before and after lower eyelid surgery

Consultation

During your consultation at Northwest Face & Body you will meet Dr. Allegro, which will ask you about your goals and concerns. They may then also ask about aspects of your medical history and lifestyle. This helps him make sure you are a good candidate for both surgery and blepharoplasty. At the end, he will conduct a thorough examination of the eyelids and the surrounding area.

If Dr. Allegra deems you a good candidate for blepharoplasty, he will create an approach tailored to your goals and anatomy. She will explain this in detail, as well as any other procedures she may recommend and the results you can expect. Before you leave the office, you will receive a personalized price offer, all necessary approvals and information regarding financing.

Surgery

During the operation, Dr. Allegra will make the necessary incision inside or just below the lower eyelid. From there, it will remove excess fat and release certain fatty structures to allow it to tighten muscles and skin. Then Dr. Allegra will remove the remaining excess skin and stretch it to its natural position.

During the sewing process, Dr. Allegra will take care of maintaining the correct movement of the eyelids. This also includes ensuring that your muscles function properly as much as possible. Some muscle weakness after blepharoplasty is normal and usually temporary.

Blepharoplasty is often performed under local and general anesthesia. Regardless of this, patients remain fully comfortable during the procedure. Local anesthesia can help reduce side effects and shorten recovery time.

Back to health

Lower blepharoplasty is a fairly short operation with minimal postoperative pain. However, it still requires traditional surgical repair. Many patients feel they don't need prescription painkillers. Many people can manage their pain with Tylenol or similar over-the-counter painkillers. In addition to limited activity, some postoperative recommendations may include:

• Use cold compresses and/or ice for the first two days
• Avoid applying makeup or specific skincare for a week
• Raise the headboard or sleep/rest in a supine position
• Avoid strenuous exercise for at least two weeks
• Do not watch TV, read or do anything that requires visual concentration for about two days
• Don't drive for at least three days
• Avoid ibuprofen and aspirin
• Come for post-operative visits
• Take medications as directed (only take painkillers when needed)

Each patient will undergo an individual treatment. Therefore, their recovery instructions will be personalized to suit them and their process. Dr. Allegra will provide more detailed post-operative care and recovery instructions at several points during the surgery.

Frequently asked questions

How long does the swelling after lower eyelid surgery last?

Visible swelling usually subsides within ten to fourteen days. However, slight residual swelling may persist for several months. In patients who smoke or do not follow recovery instructions, swelling may persist longer. In general, blepharoplasty surgery generally does not cause much swelling for more than two or three days.

Dr. Allegra can best discuss the swelling you may experience after lower eyelid surgery as she understands your medical history, medications you are taking, and aspects of your lifestyle that may impact your recovery.

It is safe?

Yes, blepharoplasty is considered one of the safest cosmetic procedures of all plastic surgeries. It rarely causes serious problems or complications, and patients are generally satisfied with its results. The average patient will not have a significantly increased risk during or after surgery. If a patient is at excessive risk, Dr. Allegra will likely prescribe other treatments to address their concerns.

Are the effects of lower eyelid surgery permanent?

Like other anti-aging surgeries, lower blepharoplasty cannot stop aging completely. Therefore, the extra, loose skin can come back, but it often takes several years, if not more than a decade. Some aspects of the procedure may be essentially permanent, such as vision correction which may affect the subsequent aging of the skin or the healing of muscles in the area. Patients can enjoy the effects for several years.

Will the shape of my eyes change?

So maybe. However, upper eyelid surgery or temple fillers are often better at addressing the shape of the eye than lower blepharoplasty. An additional procedure can be added to reshape the eye if needed.

How much does lower eyelid surgery cost?

Eyelid surgery at Dr. Allegra at Northwest Face & Body starts at $4,285. This applies to lower eyelid surgeries only, adding upper eyelids or other procedures incurs additional charges. A comprehensive list of our searchable prices can be found on our websitePrice list.
