I am a classical singer, dependant on how I appear to audiences during performances with my ensemble. I was given Dr. Place’s name by a trusted friend who was more than pleased with the surgery Dr. Place had done for her. Through Dr. Place’s expertise, using Botox, Perlene, and other fillers, I rely on her knowledge, her gentleness, her expertise and precision in applying the best products on my face. My visits have been between 7-9 months, at times, even longer. Waiting about a week to allow the changes to take place under the skin, I look in the mirror and feel that the clock is standing still, – that I am 20 years younger. Her work is such a gift to me. Thanks so much, Dr. Place, for the transformation.

What Is Juvederm?
Juvederm is a collection of injectable dermal fillers that restore volume and smooth out facial wrinkles. It’s made with hyaluronic acid, a gel-like substance naturally found in your skin that helps retain moisture, softness, and elasticity.
Each Juvederm product is formulated for a specific use. Some are ideal for fine lines, others for deeper folds or lip enhancement. Whether you’re looking for subtle definition or noticeable volume, Juvederm offers a range of options that can be adjusted to your needs.
Who Is a Good Candidate for Juvederm Injections?
Juvederm is an excellent option if you notice volume loss or deeper lines around your mouth or cheeks. Treatments like Juvederm for nasolabial folds or dermal fillers for smile lines can help soften these areas.
You’re also a likely candidate if you:
- Want to enhance lip shape without surgery
- Need to restore lost volume in your cheeks
- Have mild facial hollowness you’d like to correct
- Prefer non-surgical facial volume restoration with quick results
- Are in generally good health and not pregnant or breastfeeding
In some cases, Juvederm may be combined with other facial procedures to help achieve balanced, natural-looking results. During your consultation, Dr. Place will recommend a plan that fits your features and goals.
What To Expect During Juvederm Treatment
Your appointment begins with a consultation to discuss your concerns, goals, and medical history. Dr. Place will examine your face, recommend specific injection areas, and explain the expected outcome.
Before treatment, a topical numbing cream may be applied to reduce sensitivity. The injections are done with a fine needle and usually take 15 to 30 minutes. With each injection, you may feel a slight pinch or light pressure, but most patients describe the procedure as manageable.
Dr. Place uses precise, conservative techniques to avoid overfilling and keep your results natural. During the session, you can review the improvements in real time and give feedback as needed.
Juvederm Results And Recovery
Most patients see a noticeable difference right after the procedure. Treated areas appear fuller and smoother almost immediately, especially when addressing smile lines, lips, or cheeks. Minor swelling is normal and can slightly affect how the final result looks at first.
You may also notice mild redness, tenderness, or bruising around the injection sites. These side effects are temporary and typically fade within a few days. Applying a cold compress can help reduce swelling.
There is no required downtime. Many patients return to work or normal activities the same day. However, to minimize swelling, it’s best to avoid strenuous exercise, excessive heat, or alcohol for at least 24 hours.
Dr. Place will give aftercare tips and help you plan future touch-ups to maintain your look over time.
