The right dermal filler depends on the area being treated, the depth of the volume loss, the amount of support needed, and your desired result. Dr. Bogue uses JUVÉDERM® Ultra XC for lips and selected folds, Ultra Plus XC for deeper wrinkles and folds, and VOLUMA® XC for cheek and midface volume.
Choosing a filler is not simply a matter of selecting the product that lasts the longest. A filler that works well in the cheeks may be too firm for another area, while a product suited to the lips may not provide enough structural support for the midface. Dr. Bogue personally evaluates facial proportions, tissue characteristics, and the cause of the concern before recommending a product and amount.
How Do Dr. Bogue’s Three Dermal Fillers Compare?
| Filler | Common uses in Dr. Bogue’s practice | Typical duration | Price |
|---|---|---|---|
| JUVÉDERM® Ultra XC | Add or restore lip volume; soften selected facial folds | Up to one year | $800 per syringe |
| JUVÉDERM® Ultra Plus XC | Provide more support for deeper wrinkles and folds, including nasolabial folds | Up to 18 months | $800 per syringe |
| JUVÉDERM® VOLUMA® XC | Restore cheek and midface volume with deeper placement | Up to two years | $800 per syringe |
These duration ranges assume optimal treatment and vary among patients. Longevity should not be the only reason to choose a product; appropriate placement and a natural-looking result are more important.
Which Filler Is Commonly Used for the Lips?
Dr. Bogue commonly uses JUVÉDERM Ultra XC to add or restore lip volume. The amount and placement are adjusted to the patient’s existing anatomy, lip proportions, and desired degree of change. His goal is to improve shape and balance without creating an overfilled appearance.
Which Filler Is Used for Deeper Facial Folds?
JUVÉDERM Ultra Plus XC provides greater support for deeper wrinkles and folds, including nasolabial folds extending from the nose toward the mouth. It may also be considered for marionette lines and selected areas of volume loss around the mouth.
Not every visible line should be filled. Very fine surface wrinkles may respond better to laser resurfacing or a chemical peel, while deeper folds related to volume loss may benefit from filler. Dr. Bogue recommends treatment according to the cause of the concern.
Which Filler Is Used for Cheek Volume?
JUVÉDERM VOLUMA XC is placed more deeply to restore support in the cheeks and midface. Treatment can improve a flattened or hollowed cheek contour, but the amount must be chosen carefully. Excessive volume or poor placement can distort facial proportions instead of improving them.
Does Dr. Bogue Use Filler Under the Eyes or for Facial Scars?
No. Dr. Bogue does not use dermal filler for under-eye hollows or facial scars. He limits filler treatment to areas where he believes the benefit is predictable and appropriate for the patient’s anatomy. During consultation, he may recommend another treatment—or no treatment—when filler is not the best choice.
What Is Included With Filler Treatment?
All filler injections are performed personally by Dr. Bogue. The cosmetic consultation and one-week follow-up are complimentary. In most cases, he reserves approximately 10–15% of the original syringe for a possible touch-up and limited refinement at the follow-up visit. The touch-up does not include another syringe; any additional syringe is priced separately.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I choose my filler before the consultation?
You can discuss a product preference, but the final recommendation should follow an examination. The treatment area, tissue thickness, facial proportions, and desired correction all affect product selection.
Will I need a full syringe?
The recommended amount depends on the area and degree of volume loss. Not every patient needs the same amount, and conservative treatment may be preferable when natural facial balance is the goal.
How quickly will I see the result?
Results are visible immediately, although temporary swelling can affect the appearance for several days. The complimentary one-week follow-up allows Dr. Bogue to evaluate the result after much of the early swelling has settled.
