Are you ready to enhance your natural beauty and rejuvenate your appearance? At the Wisconsin Institute of Plastic Surgery in Appleton and Green Bay, we offer a range of non-surgical treatments, including the JUVÉDERM Collection of Fillers.
If a more radiant and revitalized appearance is what you seek, don’t wait a moment longer to experience the remarkable transformation that Juvéderm can reveal. Contact the Wisconsin Institute of Plastic Surgery in Appleton and Green Bay today and discover the transformative benefits of Juvéderm fillers.
The Juvéderm collection of fillers is a leading line of hyaluronic acid-based dermal fillers designed to address various facial concerns, such as wrinkles, fine lines, and lost volume. In the human body, hyaluronic acid acts like a sponge, keeping tissue plump and hydrated.
Millions of individuals worldwide trust Juvéderm for its safety and effectiveness. The Juvéderm family of injectable dermal fillers uses proprietary cross-linked technology to create a smooth, durable gel. Different formulas vary in thickness to address specific needs; some are robust for lifting deep tissue, while others are soft for delicate areas like the lips. This versatility allows us to customize the entire procedure to your unique anatomy.
Juvéderm fillers use hyaluronic acid, a substance naturally present in your skin, to restore volume and hydration. By injecting Juvéderm into specific areas like the facial tissue, our skilled practitioners can smooth wrinkles and plump your skin, resulting in a more youthful appearance.
Your appointment begins with a review of your medical history to ensure safety. We discuss your aesthetic goals and assess your facial structure to determine the optimal treatment plan. The actual dermal filler injection process is efficient and performed with a focus on your comfort.
We use ultra-fine needles or cannulas to place the gel at the precise depth required. Most Juvéderm products, such as Ultra XC and Voluma XC, contain lidocaine to numb the injection site instantly. This significantly reduces discomfort. You will see an immediate improvement in volume and contour before you leave the office.
At the Wisconsin Institute of Plastic Surgery, we offer a collection of Juvéderm fillers, each tailored to address specific concerns and target distinct areas of the face. Our experienced practitioners will work with you to select the ideal Juvéderm filler based on your specific needs and desired results during your consultation. These hyaluronic acid-based fillers are most effective for:
This filler is suitable for smoothing moderate to severe facial wrinkles and lines, including nasolabial folds (smile lines) and marionette lines.
Perfect for adding fullness and plumping the lips, creating a naturally enhanced appearance.
Specifically designed to restore volume to the cheeks, providing a lift and a more youthful contour to the mid-face area.
A subtle and soft filler ideal for enhancing lip volume and smoothing vertical lip lines, also known as smoker’s lines.
Effective at treating moderate to severe facial wrinkles and folds, particularly those around the mouth and nose.
Designed to rejuvenate and add volume to the hands, reducing the appearance of aging on the back of the hands.
Juvéderm is ideal for correcting static wrinkles, which are the lines present even when your face is at rest. It effectively treats deep folds around the nose and mouth, often called smile lines or marionette lines. These common areas can make the face look heavy or sagging.
Beyond wrinkles, Juvéderm addresses structural deficiencies. It can build a stronger chin profile or add definition to a weak jawline. It is also highly effective for treating dry, thinning lips that have lost their border. The treatment restores the scaffolding of the face for a more youthful shape.
The Juvéderm collection is FDA-approved to treat multiple areas of the face.
Voluma XC is specifically designed to correct age-related volume loss in the cheek area, providing a subtle lift that helps define the jawline. For the lower face, Vollure XC softens moderate to severe facial wrinkles like nasolabial folds and frown lines.
We also use Volbella XC and Ultra XC for lip augmentation and to smooth vertical lip lines. These softer gels plump lips and correct asymmetry while maintaining a natural feel. In some cases, we address undereye hollows or severe temple hollowing to restore a rested look to the upper face.
The primary benefit of Juvéderm is the ability to see immediate results without the downtime of surgery, which is what makes it one of the most popular dermal fillers on the market. The hyaluronic acid not only adds volume but also draws moisture to the skin, improving overall texture and skin smoothness.
Because the gel is non-permanent, the results are adjustable. We can refine the outcome in follow-up appointments to ensure perfection. The effects are long-lasting, with products like Voluma XC lasting up to two years. This durability makes it a cost-effective option for maintaining a youthful appearance.
Ideal candidates are healthy adults who want to improve moderate to severe facial wrinkles or add volume to specific features. You should have realistic expectations about what a dermal filler can achieve. It is a powerful tool for rejuvenation, but it does not replace a surgical facelift for significant sagging.
You should not receive Juvéderm if you have a history of severe allergies or anaphylaxis, particularly to lidocaine or gram-positive bacterial proteins. We will also discuss any medications you are taking, such as blood thinners, which may increase the risk of bruising.
Recovery is generally straightforward. You may experience temporary redness, swelling, or bumps at the injection site. These side effects are typically mild and resolve within a week. We recommend avoiding strenuous exercise, alcohol, and excessive sun exposure for the first 24 hours.
Applying an ice pack can help minimize swelling. You can usually wear makeup the day after treatment to cover any minor bruising. Following these simple guidelines ensures the product settles correctly and reduces the risk of irritation.

You will notice the added volume immediately. However, the final results are best judged after the initial swelling subsides, usually within two weeks. At this point, the filler feels soft and integrates seamlessly with your own tissue.
The longevity of the results depends on the specific product used and your body's metabolism. Juvéderm Volbella XC in the lips may last up to a year, while Juvéderm Voluma XC in the cheeks can last up to two years.
