Which would you recommend; Voluma VS Radiesse?

Both Voluma and Radiesse are used extensively in my practice.  They are excellent for volumization of the face, including the midface, cheek, and chin.  I favor Voluma somewhat because it lasts longer and is fully reversible in the rare event that there is a problem.  The downside of Voluma is the cost -- it is more expensive than Radiesee.  For microgenia (small chin), I recommend a chin implant vs fillers because it works better in that area and is permanent.  Best of luck!

Enhancing and shaping the chin with fillers is a minimally invasive office based procedure that can be effective for mild to moderate chin augmentation needs. The options for volumetric fillers in this area are a hyaluronic acid based filler versus a calcium based filler, which could be termed a biostimulator. Both are effective options, though Radiesse may last longer in this region. Voluma is FDA approved for midface enhancement and may last up to 2 years in this region. It could be a viable option which is not as long lasting as Radiesse. Cost may be equivalent. Another option is Sculptra in this region which is a true biostimulator and after 2 vials, a long lasting correction could be achieved. A simple silicone chin implant is a very predictable and reliable option that will last, and from a cost perspective may be equivalent after multiple rounds of fillers.

Voluma and Radiesse are both excellent choices and either will give you great results in the right hands.  Radiesse has the advantage over Voluma in terms of being a more "firm" filler, meaning it will withstand greater deformation forces.  Voluma is a little "softer", and is reversible - meaning if there is an issue or you don't like the way it looks, it can be dissolved.   

Both give significant lift, but only Voulma is FDA approved for the cheek/mid face area.  However, for years physicians like me have been using Radiesse in this same area with amazing results.  I think what matters is who is doing the injections and the strategic points of injection.  Both will last 1.5-2 years, but only the Voulma can be reversed with an enzyme if you dont like it.  Raidesse also promotes your own bodys natural collagen production but the HA fillers like voulma (in my opinion) do not.  Seek an expert to treat you, do not compromise your care of cost or distance.  Best, Dr. Emer.

Radiesse and Voluma could both potentially be used as a filler for the chin area.  Voluma does last longer than Radiesse, but Radiesse is firmer.  If you are using the filler to augment the chin, the Radiesse may provide more augmentation because it is more firm. If the filler is being used just around the chin and not for augmentation, the Voluma is softer and may be better because of the longevity.  

Thank you for your question about Voluma.Juvderm Voluma XC is very reliable and predictable.Use of Voluma in the chin is an FDA off label use in the United States; however, it is approved for use in the chin in Europe.To be sure what is best for you, see two or more experienced, licensed and board-certified providers in your area for a complete evaluation to make sure you are a good candidate and that it is safe for you to have treatment.I hope this helps.

Both Voluma and Radiesse are excellent fillers. Radiesse is a stimulatory filler that builds natural collagen, while Voluma is a volume filler. We use both of them for cheek augmentation. Best, Dr. Karamanoukian 

Voluma and Radiesse are both excellent products for sculpting the face, which may include adding dimension and shape to the chin. A chin augmentation not only gives you a stronger profile, it tends to create a sharper definition of the jawline and neck as well. As a bonus, both Voluma and Radiesse stimulate the production of collagen. Voluma does this through the Vycross technology embedded in its hyaluronic acid gel. Radiesse uses microspheres of Calicum Hydroxylapatite to stimulate collagen, which then replaces the microspheres as they are metabolized by the body. Both last about a year or more. Consulting with a board-certified dermatologist who is expert in facial sculpting will help you decide which filler to use.

Voluma is not approved for use in the chin thus this is considered an off label use. I do not use Voluma in this location. I would recommend you discuss and be examined by a board certified dermatologist before rendering any opinion on this question.

Juvederm Voluma® may be more expensive than Radiesse (if that is a consideration for you), otherwise, both Radiesse®and Juvederm Voluma® are both great for shaping and smoothing the chin.
