Could my jowls be lifted with Voluma injections in cheeks? (photos)

Monika84123Jan 10, 2017

I'm 44 and have been contemplating Voluma to add fullness to my cheeks and soften the marionette lines. I'm hoping Voluma in cheeks will also lift the jowl area a bit. Will this plan work or would the sagging jowls benefit more from Kybella?

Some injectors inject Voluma in the lower jaw and chin, but it's not the ideal filler to use in this area. If not injected correctly, it can cause a lot of swelling in the injected area. If your swelling doesn't subside, have your provider do a reversal.

Yes... This is the beauty of HA fillers. They can successfully and quickly be reversed with Hylenex or a different Hyaluronidase.

Voluma and Volbella are 2 new Vycross fillers from Allergan.  Volbella is much finer and intended for the perioral area where filler is injected more superficially.  Voluma is intended to be injected deeper and is FDA approved for 2 years duration.  For cheeks I would recommend Voluma.
