I recently lost about 10 lbs. and you can see where my face has gotten thin (I'm small frame) I can tell a big difference between now and 2 years ago. Can you use Voluma for loss of facial fat volume? I went to a dr. today who said if he used Voluma, it would cause lumps. He said it really needs to be used in the cheekbone area, not the cheek hollows. Is that true, and if so, what can you use for hollow cheeks?

Answer: Voluma for hollow cheeks? 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.

Answer: Voluma for cheek hollows 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
