Can Juvederm Add Volume to Sunken Cheeks?

Yes, a cosmetic surgeon can use Juvederm or Restylane (HA- hyaluronic acid) to add volume to the cheeks. My current favorite filler for these purposes is Radiesse. I gently place this filler from the inside of the mouth (much like a dentist would work).
Radiesse has the added benefit that it lasts longer than Juvederm. This is because unlike Juvederm, Radiesse has little calcium deposits within the jelly-like material that is injected. These deposits stimulate collagen growth. It is for this reason you may see the filler last double the other fillers (HA).
Sculptra (PLLA) can also work beautifully to fill large areas like the cheeks. While Sculptra can last the longest of the fillers, the benfits are delayed, as most patients need a series of injections to obtain the results they desire.
All of the fillers are used off-label for the cheeks. Lastly, surgically you can enhance your cheeks; your own body fat can be transferred to your cheeks, or there are terrific cheek implants that can be placed by your cosmetic surgeon.

There is a new Juvederm product called volume which is specifically designed to fill large hollows scubas the ones you are describing.

Hello,

Thank you for your question. Juvederm can be used in the cheeks, however it is not the best option. You would want to use a stronger product that is specifically used to add volume v.s a filler. Your money will go a lot further and your results will be more appealing, as well as last longer. Consider products like Voluma, Sculptra, or radiesse. It is best to visit a local physician and have a consultation to determine what will be best for you.

Yes! Thinner faces tend to hollow with age.  This can result in submalar hollowing.  Juvederm is great for softening the hollowed area.  I also like sculptra for this purpose.  In addition, the bone that supports the cheek shrinks with age.  Juvederm voluma can be placed right on the bone to give the cheek more support.

Juvederm Voluma is an ideal option for those wanting to address hollow cheeks due to aging or weight loss. It can also help patients who have always wanted more volume in their cheeks, but did not want facial implants.

Juvederm Voluma is a star to accentuate the cheekbones, but in the softer areas of the cheeks, Juvederm is a star!  Volume restoration with your own fat (autologous fat) is also great.  Discuss your our options with a plastic surgeon skilled in both methods. 

Yes, Juvederm Voluma is a great option for adding volume to cheeks that have become hollow. Restylane Lyft is another good HA filler for this. Other options include Sculptra and Radiesse, which work to build collagen in the body. Depending on the type of volume loss you have and the results you are seeking a provider can determine which option is best for you.

Juvederm would not be my first choice for sunken cheeks.  I would recommend using Voluma or Restylane Lyft for the cheek region as they can provide more support and lift than Juvederm.  

It’s not unusual for patients to lose facial volume in the
area of their cheeks with facial aging. A variety of strategies have been
utilized to address this problem; including cheekbone implants, facelifts and dermal
fillers.The
approach utilized for this problem is dependent upon the anatomic findings and
aesthetic goals of the patient. When dermal fillers are utilized, a wide
variety of options exist.Although
Juvederm can be utilized to augment the cheeks, there are probably better
options. Juvederm can create attractive shapely cheeks, but this approach isn’t
cost effective because Juvederm has a relatively short duration.For
this reason, both Radiesse and Voluma represent better options. Radiesse is a synthetic filler with
hydroxyapatite particles. Voluma is a
long acting hyaluronic acid filler which is relatively new. These agents may
last up to 18 months and are associated with high satisfaction rates.If
you’re considering cheek augmentation it’s important that you consult a board
certified plastic surgeon. This surgeon should be able to perform a
comprehensive evaluation and choose the option that’s best for you.

Absolutely-Juvederm as well as other injectable fillers can provide volume to the face correcting the signs of aging.Jucederm Voluma is specifically formulated to address this issue and lasts up two years.

Juvederm Voluma does a great job of plumping up sunken cheeks. That being said, any filler can give volume though each has different properties. The effect is easily maintained 12 - 18 months with some correction still persisting for longer as often there is some mild stimulation of a persons own collagen. It can be combined with say Juvederm Ultra Plus or Restylane to give a layered correction.
