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

Thank you for your question. Kybella is used to eliminate submental fullness due to submental fat, or double chin. Voluma improves the volume to the cheeks and mid-face by gently lifting the ape, apple and hollows for a more youthful and healthy appearance. I suggest that you move forward and consult with a board certified facial plastic surgeon.
Best wishes,

Hi @Monika84123! I recommend Morpheus 8. Morpheus8 is a non-surgical treatment for full body skin resurfacing, skin tightening, and fat reduction of stubborn areas. It uses minimally invasive fractional radiofrequency energy (RF) to penetrate the skin deeper than other microneedling devices, triggering the skin’s natural healing response to promote skin tightening and lifting. Best of luck to you, Dr. Nima!

Juvederm Voluma is one of my go-to products to create “liquid facelifts.” This should give you enough of a lift to make a difference to your lower face and jowls, but one also does not want to blow up the face to just lift up the jowls. To reposition fat from the lower face upward I commonly use Ultherapy. Very seldomly I will use Kybella off-label in the jowl area to reduce some of the fat. The marionette lines may improve sufficiently with these treatments, but you might also benefit from another hyaluronic-acid filler to smooth those out. Please consult a board-certified dermatologist to find out if you are a candidate for a liquid facelift.

Hi and thank you for sharing your question here. Voluma is a very thick and viscous filler (in addition to be long-lasting) and with proper technique and at the right place of injection, not only it helps to restore the volume in your cheeks but it can also give a nice lift at the jaw area. Overall Voluma is among my top choices for long-lasting liquid facelift procedures at carefully-selected areas of face. I hope it helps and good luck!

Absolutely.
Actually, it's ideal to have Voluma placed in your cheeks before you have your
provider inject your nasolabial folds (around your mouth). If injected correctly, you
can achieve a significant lift with Voluma and you minimize the risk of having a "caveman"
appearance around your mouth which sometimes happens when there's too much
filler placed around the mouth. 

Hello, 

Thank you for your question. When Voluma is injected into the lateral cheeks, it can help to lift the jowl area. However the amount of Voluma, and exact injection location will determine how extreme the results are. Good luck!

Greetings Monika. Voluma in the cheeks can provide an improvement in the jowls as the mid face volume in youth is restored. 

I find that we need to treat the entire face, including lips, folds and lines to get the most youthful result. An exam can confirm if your a good candidate for the injection procedure. 



Best wishes, Dr. Aldo

There are a few options and a combination approach would be best. For sagging face and jowls, I recommend fillers or fat to provide volume, skin tightening procedures (Ultherapy, Kybella, Thermage, Viva), lasers (Fraxel, Clear + Brilliant) and microneedling/prp to improve fine lines and texture. I suggest you see an expert for a formal consultation.  Best, Dr. Emer.

Your jowls and excess skin should be removed with a facelift and not filler. Filler will make the line in front of the jowl less apparent but the jowl will look larger. Kybella should not be used in this area since the fat remaining can be irregular and you still have excess skin. Save your money and get proper correction with a facelift done by a very experienced surgeon.

Thank you for sharing your pictures. Looking at the photos alone you appear to be a good candidate for voluma under the eyes and along the cheekbones. This would help correct the nasolabial folds and jowl area. Kybella is used under the chin and would not be recommended for injection in the jowls due to important nerves in this area. Hope that helps, good luck!
