Juvederm Voluma
What is Juvéderm™ VOLUMA™?
Juvederm™ Voluma™ is the newest of the Juvederm range of hyaluronic acid fillers. It is specifically designed to restore volume in areas of volume loss. It is FDA approved for cheek volumizing and has other uses on the face as well.
How does Juvéderm™ VOLUMA™ work to achieve its results?

Fat Injections
Fat injection is an excellent treatments to fill in deep lines and furrowson the face.
Just like Juvederm, it can easily fill the lines around the mouth, above the nose and increase volume to the face that has deflated over time. Typically, Dr. Shatkin uses fat injection when many areas need to be treated. This becomes more cost effective than Juvederm or other fillers. Dr. Shatkin has developed a unique treatment protocol which he has used for many years with great success. The fat has to be retrieved from some area of excess, usually it is obtained from the abdomen or hip. This is a minor surgical procedure to perform and can be done in less than one hour. After th fat is retrieved it is processed to concentrate the fat cells and then the fat is reinjected in the area to be corrected. A series of 4-5 injections are spaced out over a 6 month periond to maximize the results.
