Juvederm In Cheeks

Although Voluma isn't yet FDA approved in the U.S., I can speak about Juvederm and general filler follow-up. I recommend that patients wait at least 7-10 days after a filler before returning for further treatment or follow-up. Sometimes there is swelling and/or bruising that can affect how the filler works. It takes a minimum of a few days for that to resolve, so don't panic. If you still don't see enough of a result or you have any further concerns, consult your injector about a... more

Patient expectations are important with Juvederm treatments

Some doctors may decide to start with a conservative amount of filler to ensure client satisfaction and gradually build on what they have done. This helps to prevent clients from having tremendous swelling or a look that is overdone. It is also difficult to guage clients' expectations.

They are injected deeper, beneath the skin, and will generate more volume to create a much better lifting effect for sagging skin. They work by stimulating your skin to produce more collagen, which is why they are... more

I Had Juvederm Voluma in my Cheeks Today and See No Results is This Normal?

I Had Juvederm Voluma in my Cheeks Today and See No Results is This Normal? I have performed many cheek augmentations with fillers and Juvederm, IMHO, is too thin for cheek augmentation. I use perlane or radiesse which are thicker fillers capable of shaping the Cheeks, Chin and Jaw line.

Cheeck fillers

Depending on how much volume you need or have lost in the cheecks, fat transfer remains your best option, It is the longest lasting, and feels more natural. However you need an expert's advise and analysis to determine where and how much to put to achieve the facial rejuvenation needed.

I usually use Radiesse for cheeks and the patients see the results immediately. In fact they dictate where additional Radiesse is needed at thatvery time

Wow! Some docs just can't read. Did you receive the appropriate dose (i.e. volume)? As a filler, with adequate dosage and correct placement, it is next to impossible not to see immediate results.
