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.

Juvederm In Cheeks

Volume fillers are better than wrinkle fillers for cheeks
It is important to understand the difference between "stimulatory" fillers and "wrinkle" fillers. When treating problems due to volume loss such as cheek hollows and sagging skin, I will almost always use stimulatory fillers such as Radiesse and/or Sculptra. 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...

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
