John Mesa, MD · Answer

Juvederm (Juvederm ultra, and ultra XC) and Voluma (Juvederm
Voluma XC) are both hyaluronic acid based soft tissue fillers used for volume
augmentation of the face. Their main difference is in the duration of the
effect. While Juvederm ultra (and XC) last for about 1 year, (Juvederm) Voluma
last for 2 years. Therefore, if patient chooses to undergo midface augmentation
with volume, they may need to undergo treatment in 2 years from the day of application,
compared with 1 year for “regular” juvederm

Hi Linda,Voluma is an excellent facial filler when used properly.  Voluma can be used in the area below the cheeks to replace lost volume.  Make sure that you choose your injecting physician most carefully based on their experience, skill, and artistic vision to insure the most effective, efficient, safe, and natural appearing treatment.  Good luck and be well.Dr. P

You might be a candidate for Voluma but you should seek an in person consultation with a Plastic Surgeon or Dermatologist injector to know for sure. Voluma is a new product so ensure that your injector has been using the product alot and has, specifically, performed alot of cheek injections prior to the release of Voluma. Creating a natural, beautiful cheek takes alot of experience and an eye for facial esthetics. I hope this information is helpful.Stephen Weber MD, FACSDenver Facial Plastic Surgeon

From your description, it sounds as if the main loss of volume that you have is just below your cheeks.  There are a variety of fillers as well as surgically placed implants that could be used to treat volume loss in the cheek area.  Voluma is one of the available fillers that could be used.  The different types of fillers work differently and last different lengths of time, so it is worth discussing your options with the physician who will be treating you.

Dmitriy Schwarzburg, MD · Answer

The administration of fillers is a highly technical procedure. There are so many factors to consider to determine if you are a good candidate for it, the best filler to use, the right amount, etc. You will have to ask your doctor more about the details if you want to know why.
