Charlotte Plastic Surgeon is one of the first to offer JUVÉDERM™

Dr. Edward Bednar of Metrolina Plastic Surgery, located in south Charlotte, NC, will be one of the first Plastic Surgeons to offer a new and improved dermal filler to his patients. Dermal fillers are used to fill creases or folds on the face as we age.

JUVÉDERM™ is the latest dermal filler advance from Allergan Inc. JUVÉDERM™ is a "next generation" smooth gel, non-animal dermal filler offering a natural look/feel and long-lasting results for up to six months or longer. JUVÉDERM™ dermal filler lasts long because it's the only dermal filler currently available with the highest concentration of hyaluronic acid and a special formulation process. This process creates a smooth gel that flows easily into the skin, creating smooth, natural looks.

All other currently approved hyaluronic acid dermal fillers use a gel particle suspension formulation. These gel particles can be visibly seen as opposed to the smoother formulation used in JUVÉDERM™. The smooth consistency of JUVÉDERM™ dermal filler also may help to minimize the discomfort that can sometimes occur during the injection procedure.

We look forward to offering this new product to our patients’. In the past some patients have complained of discomfort during the injection and some initial lumping after the use of Restylane, a popular dermal filler. “We believe JUVÉDERM™ will provide a more comfortable and smoother initial outcome.” say Dr. Bednar.
