The short answer
Juvederm is a hyaluronic acid dermal filler used at our Greenwich location to restore volume in the cheeks, folds, chin and lips. It is placed in small increments and assessed as treatment proceeds. The result is temporary and reversible with hyaluronidase if adjustment is required.

Filler consultations in Greenwich are usually the most detailed of any market this practice serves. Patients arrive knowing the difference between hyaluronic acid and a biostimulator, and often knowing which gel was used on them previously.
That changes the shape of the appointment for the better. The discussion moves quickly to structure – where support has been lost and what restoring it will and will not achieve – rather than staying on product names.
This page covers juvederm specifically. The full treatment list for this location is on our Greenwich, CT location.
Juvederm is a family of hyaluronic acid gels used to restore volume and support. The gels differ in firmness, and firmness decides where each one belongs.
The treatment-wide page – practice-wide juvederm – carries the detailed clinical explanation.
| Area | What filler is doing there | What to expect |
|---|---|---|
| Cheeks | Restoring structural support | Swelling for a few days |
| Nasolabial folds | Softening a static fold | Often treated indirectly by supporting the cheek |
| Chin and jaw | Adding definition and projection | Firmer gel, assessed in profile |
| Lips | Definition or fullness | More swelling than any other area |
| Temples | Restoring lost volume | Assessed alongside the mid-face |
| At the Greenwich office | Decided at your assessment, not from this table | Decided at your assessment, not from this table |
Mid-face volume and jawline definition are the two dominant requests here, across a wide age band. Many patients are maintaining an existing plan rather than starting one.
Reassessment of previous work is a significant category. Because hyaluronic acid is dissolvable, the right first step is sometimes removing rather than adding, and that conversation is had directly.
It is common for Botox in Greenwich and Dysport treatment in Greenwich, CT to be discussed at the same consultation. Combining treatments in one visit is assessed case by case.

Treatment cost is confirmed at assessment. It varies with the treatment selected, the area being treated, the amount of product needed and whether a course of sessions is involved. Nothing proceeds until you have the figure and are comfortable with it.
The clinician throughout is Anita Dormer, MD. That continuity is what allows the two-week review to be a genuine assessment rather than a formality.
Background on the practice is on the meet the team page.
Yes. Bring what you know about product, area and dates. Understanding what is already in place comes before adding anything new.
Hyaluronic acid fillers can be dissolved with hyaluronidase, which is one of the reasons this family is used for facial work where adjustability matters.
The FDA documents rare but serious vascular complications, including effects on vision, alongside common bruising and swelling. Anatomical knowledge on the part of the injector is the main safeguard.
It is temporary and varies by gel, placement site and individual factors. It is discussed honestly at consultation rather than presented as a fixed number.
