Juvederm®
Palm Harbor and Clearwater

At Moraitis Plastic Surgery, we recommend Volbella for a number of reasons:

• Volbella’s small particles make it perfect for filling creases and fine lines around the mouth, giving an altogether more youthful appearance.
• Those small particles also allow Volbella to work without the risk of the lips becoming too large or puffy.
• With Volbella, our patients are able to enjoy lips that look full but also natural and proportional to the rest of their faces.

Volbella is designed to provide moisture and fullness for a long time, and most patients find that their results last for at least a full year. Subsequent injections can help extend those results and allow you to enjoy full, healthy lips for years to come.

Hyaluronic Acid (HA) is a naturally occurring, hydrating substance found in your skin. As you age, you start to lose HA, which causes the skin to lose structure and volume. Voluma is the first and only HA filler FDA-approved to instantly add volume to the cheek area, including the apex, apple, and hollow, resulting in a refined lift.

JUVÉDERM VOLUMA™ XC is different than JUVÉDERM® XC, which is intended for a different area of the face. JUVÉDERM® XC will smooth out moderate to severe wrinkles and folds around the nose and mouth, like parentheses and smile lines. On the other hand, JUVÉDERM VOLUMA™ XC is specifically formulated to add volume to the cheek area.

After 24 hours, you should be able to resume your normal activities. Common side effects include temporary reactions at the treatment site such as tenderness, swelling, firmness, lumps/bumps, bruising, pain, redness, discoloration, and itching. These side effects are moderate and generally lasts 2 weeks.

JUVÉDERM® VOLLURE™ XC is an injectable hyaluronic acid filler specifically designed to treat the presence of nasolabial folds—also known as laugh lines or marionette lines. By strategically injecting Vollure into the face, women and men can experience added volume and a smoother appearance.

Treatment with Vollure comes with many benefits, including:

• Non-surgical treatment option
• Results that can last up to 18 months
• Uses hyaluronic acid, which is a naturally occurring substance in the body
• Works to improve even deep wrinkles
• It is durable and spreadable, providing physical improvement while also allowing for natural facial expressions and movements
• Quick treatment time
• Little to no downtime
• Natural-looking results
• Youthful looking appearance
• Smoother, more even skin

Vollure was specifically developed to treat marionette lines; therefore, if you have these lines, which are identified as deep lines around your nose and mouth, you will benefit from this dermal filler option.

The team at Moraitis Plastic Surgery treats all Palm Harbor and Clearwater patients on an individual basis. To find out if Vollure is right for you, you should first schedule an initial consultation so he can perform an examination and customize your treatment plan. During your facial assessment, Jennifer Carney, PA-C will talk to you about your overall areas of concern and determine how Vollure can help you. He can even combine Vollure with other dermal filler options for an overall rejuvenated appearance.

Recovery after treatment with Vollure is simple and almost non-existent. Discomfort is greatly decreased with Vollure as lidocaine is premixed into the solution, making the experience more comfortable than ever before.

Patients can expect little to no downtime and will be able to return to their normal daily activities immediately following their procedure. However, as with any dermal filler, Jennifer Carney, PA-C recommends that her Vollure patients avoid direct sun and strenuous exercise for several days after their injections.
