How much Voluma, on average is used in each cheek for volume?

Some patients require only a small amount of Voluma to amplify and highlight their cheeks. Those patients are generally younger, in their 30's or early 40's, and have good bone structure and only a small amount of fat loss in the area. These younger patients can benefit from as little as 1/2 syringe of Voluma on each side. Most patients, however, require a little more volume to augment cheek projection, fill hollows, and create graceful angles. One syringe of Voluma on each side (one per cheek) is probably the most common volume used. However,  elderly patients, patients with advanced fat loss, and patients that have extremely poor bone structure require larger amounts of product.  When injecting larger volumes of Voluma, the patient can elect to be injected in a single visit, or have smaller amounts of product injected at more frequently intervals.

Each patient is different in the treatment they require. That being said, I like to start out with one syringe of Voluma and split it, using .5 on each cheek. For a subtle, natural result, I like to start with using small amounts and building over time, rather than using too much and being stuck with an over done, or unnatural look. Make sure Voluma is the right filler for you. Some people may benefit from different types of injections, so it important to be well educated by a Physician who performs many injections and who is a certified injector.  

Hi there,Thank you for your question. Quantity is very variable and dependant on the individual and how much is required for the results. However on average I use 1ml (0.5ml each side) for a nice subtle cheek augmentation using juvéderm voluma. Hope this helps!Best wishes,Dr Rupert

Thank you for your question on cheek augmentation with Voluma.
  Juvederm Voluma is a smooth, dense product that is FDA approved for
mid-face volumization and has been found to last up to 2 years.  It is
injected deeply, right over the cheekbone to give support and lift to the
mid-face.  We place Voluma starting with the upper, lateral cheek as this
provides the best lift to the mid-face (including naso-labial folds).
 This technique results in a higher, more rounded and youthful curve to
the face and can even help improve the look of the under eye ("tear
trough") area as well as corners of the mouth.


 


The amount of Voluma used varies from patient to patient,
depending on their age, quality of skin, volume loss, and sagging.  An
average of one per syringe per side is very common, but some patients may need
more and some less (eg a more deflated balloon requires a greater amount of air
for reinflation compared to one that's lost very little air).


 


It's important to seek out an experienced, qualified injector who
has extensive experience in order to achieve your best and safest result. In
our office, we have Master Injectors who are experts in the most advanced
injection techniques - giving our patients excellent, natural-looking outcomes.

Every patient is different. Some have significant volume loss, particularly older patients, that may require 2-3 cc per cheek. Younger patients may be able to get away with only 1-2 cc divided between the two cheeks. Most patients will need 1-2 cc per cheek to see a significant difference. I also believe that adding more product increases the longevity.
All the best,

On average, 1 syringe of Voluma is placed in each cheek on the first treatment, and a follow-up appointment is scheduled to re-evaluate and determine if more is needed.

Hope you found this answer helpful.  All the best!

Juvederm Voluma is a safe hyaluronic injectable gel which restores lift and contour to the cheeks, as they sag with age. After age 30, most women lose 1tsp (1tsp=5ml) of fat in their faces per year, so the volume lost by your 40’s and 50’s can be considerable. I was a lead investigator in the FDA's approval for Voluma in which subjects could be injected with up to 6 syringes per cheek.  However, patients in that study had to have severe sagging of the cheeks and a few did require this amount.  In the real world, most patients require on average 2 – 4 syringes to achieve a beautiful and natural cheek contour. I often inject 2 syringes at a time and have the patient return in one month to check the results and see whether we want to add more. Once we achieve the volume we want, we simply maintain this with yearly injections of 1 – 2 syringes as needed.  How much Voluma is required per cheek varies by patient and is affected by such things as the severity of sagging, thinness of the face, bone structure and individual preference of the patient and physician. The only way to know how much you need is to visit a board-certified dermatologist so that she or he can evaluate your face to determine the best way to bring out your natural beauty and vitality. Voluma can last for up to 2 years. 

Every patient's anatomy and aesthetic goals are very unique, so I don't ever like to give people an "average." It is really important that whoever administers your Voluma injections is catering the treatment to YOU and your needs. I have patients in their early 20's who may only need 1 syringe and patients in their 60's who made need up to 6 syringes. So your next step should be to have an in-person consultation with a Voluma expert so that they can examine your face and determine how much Voluma is needed to give you the results you want. Good luck!

How much Voluma is used in each cheek depends solely on the individual and how much volume correction they need. That being said, generally most patients receive at least one syringe per cheek. I would recommend visiting a board-certified dermatologist with experience injecting Voluma for an in-person consultation and evaluation to see how much you will need for the best results. 

I normally use 1cc syringe on each side and the package box comes with two 1cc syringes.  For cheekbone enhancement I say 1cc on each side.  If the patient needs cheekbone and the hollow underneath filled I have used 2 syringes each side.  I have tried using one syringe for both sides but patients almost always come back sooner wanting more.
