Voluma for hollow cheeks? (Photo)

Yes, voluma is great for what you have. However, there are lots of other options as well. It all depends on the skill of the injector, how much you want to spend and how long you want the results to last. On evaluation of your photos, you would be a great candidate to start with a filler such as Radiesse, then see how that looks, then add voluma to finish off the filler effects. Other options include facial fat transfer, which is a more permanent option that can also fill areas nicely. An in person consultation would be the first step and find someone who is well versed in all the options for you. Good luck 

you can use a combination of filers or fat and get a great result. This is the majority of my practice.  I am unsure why you were told you would get lumps from a filler that is designed to improve the mid face/cheeks.  I suggest you only go to an expert.  Best, Dr. Emer.

Thank you for your question and for sharing your photographs.  Based on your pictures it looks as if you would do well with Voluma to help restore volume and support to your mid face/cheek region.  Voluma will help give you the appearance of a heart-shaped face, while improving the appearance of your laugh lines and under eye region.  Be sure to see a board certified plastic surgeon for your injections.  

It appears you have overall facial lipoatrophy (loss of fat) which has given you that hollow/sunken appearance. I would suggest a combination of treatments for your best results. Sculptra would be a very nice treatment to address the sunken cheeks and temples. This product is a volumizer which induces your skin to produce more of its own collagen. This works well for the sunken cheeks since this area usually requires a large volume of filler to be beneficial. Sculptra works over time and requires 3 treatments for best results.  Voluma would work well for your upper lateral cheeks and would give an immediate result. I would recommend some filler around your mouth area as well to replace lost volume in this area as well.  Please consult a board certified dermatologist or plastic surgeon experienced in aesthetic injectables. Best wishes.

Voluma should work well for you. If the product causes bumps that is an issue with the technique not the product. You might also benefit from filler in the undereye area such as Restylane or Belotero but Voluma is a great place to start and likely will create some improvement in the tear trough area.
