Will Voluma lift my face?

Hello, my name is Lauren, and I’m the aesthetics provider at Colorado Plastic Surgery Center. When injected properly, Voluma in the cheeks can provide a subtle lifting effect. By restoring volume to the midface, it can indirectly soften the appearance of nasolabial folds and marionette lines. However, it's important to have realistic expectations—this treatment does not produce the dramatic results of surgery. The best next step is a consultation with an experienced provider who can assess your goals and customize a treatment plan specifically for you.

Voluma is a great product that provides significant lifting when injected appropriately with the correct number of syringes. Every patient is different and requires a different amount of filler in different areas, so it is possible that you just did not have enough product injected to see a noticeable difference. Starting off with a minimum of 2 for the cheeks, up to even 4 syringes is usually appropriate, but again, every patient is very different and it is best to come in for a consult so you face can be appropriately assessed.

Hello, thank you for your question! Voluma is a wonderful product. The strength of this filler is such that it can in fact provide a lift to the tissue. How much lift will depend on the provider's technique- in our office we use a specific technique developed by Dr. Petropoulos herself to ensure proper lifting. Correct placement and technique in the temples and cheeks can help somewhat with marionette lines, especially if they are "minor" like you say, but often times other treatments are required to resolve the concern. Best of luck in you search! I hope this helped. Genie Alexander, RN BSN for Dr. Anna Petropoulos, MD FRCS at Center for Classic Beauty, Boston and Danvers, MA.

Thank you for your question! It is difficult to answer your question without examining you in person or reviewing your photos. However, based on my experience Voluma is best placed in the cheek/mid face area. Usually, adding volume/Voluma to the cheeks does not address other areas of the face. Unless you are using many many syringes of filler. Unfortunately, the more filler you use, the more risk for an unnatural result. Make sure you consult with a board certified plastic surgeon to discuss options for your marionette lines. You may want to consider the Y Lift procedure to address both your cheeks and jawline.

Hello SP,
Great question, Voluma is an excellent injectable filler that is effective and long lasting. It is one of my personal favorite fillers to use on patients for facial rejuvenation. The effects are immediate and impressive. Voluma is not a "commodity" as it's benefits depend on the expertise of the injecting physician. When used properly in the correct amount and location the results are remarkable. There can be improvement in the cheeks, eyes, jawline, jowls, and marionettes. Feel free to contact our office to schedule a virtual or in person consultation. Good luck and be well.

Voluma can absolutely lift your skin. Depending on the severity of the sagging skin and the overall skin quality is to how many syringes you will need. Typically, I treat my patients who are trying to achieve this same outcome in stages. They will then see a gradual change and positive results without looking “done.”

You did not post photos, so I cannot be specific. In most ladies and men, Voluma used in the cheeks gives a nice lift and help minimize the nasolabial folds. Some are just naturally flat and Voluma helps give a better balance to their face.

Hello and thank you for your question. I think you had a great doctor that suggested that because when used correctly, it can make the face look lifted, rested and youthful. Without seeing your anatomy, it's hard to suggest an amount of syringes but ideally one syringe on each side would give you that "lift." While this doesn't lift as much as a face lift, it will hide shadows created by your marionette lines and even help with the look of under eye hollowness. Good luck on your filler journey!

Voluma is a brand of dermal filler made from hyaluronic acid, a substance that occurs naturally in the body and helps maintain volume and hydration in the skin. Voluma is specifically designed to add volume and contour to the cheeks, addressing age-related volume loss in this area. While Voluma can enhance the appearance of the cheeks and provide some lifting effect, it may not provide the same degree of lift as a surgical facelift.Here are some key points to consider regarding Voluma and its effects on facial appearance:1. Volume enhancement: Voluma is excellent for restoring volume to the midface and cheeks, which can help improve facial contours and provide a more youthful appearance. By adding volume to the cheeks, Voluma can create a subtle lifting effect and improve the appearance of sagging skin.2. Limited lifting: While Voluma can enhance the appearance of the cheeks and provide some lift to the midface, its lifting effect may be limited compared to a surgical facelift. A facelift involves surgical tightening and repositioning of facial tissues, resulting in more significant and long-lasting lifting of the lower face and neck.3. Non-surgical option: One of the main advantages of Voluma is that it is a non-surgical option for facial rejuvenation. It can provide noticeable improvements in facial volume and contour with minimal downtime and no need for surgery.4. Temporary results: Like other hyaluronic acid fillers, the results of Voluma are temporary and typically last for about 12 to 18 months. Periodic touch-up treatments are usually needed to maintain the desired results over time.5. Combination treatments: Many individuals choose to combine Voluma with other cosmetic procedures, such as Botox or other dermal fillers, to achieve comprehensive facial rejuvenation. Your healthcare provider can create a customized treatment plan based on your specific concerns and goals.Overall, while Voluma can enhance facial volume and provide some lifting effect, it may not be a substitute for a surgical facelift in cases where significant skin laxity and sagging are present. It's essential to discuss your options with a skilled healthcare provider to determine the most appropriate treatment approach for your individual needs and goals.

Voluma is an HA filler that is designed to add volume to help contour and give a lifted appearance to tissues. Depending on your desired results and amount of lift needed Voluma may be a good option. Other options can include Morpheus8, FaceTite, or even a surgical face lift depending on your treatment goals. An evaluation is needed for a personalized recommendation.
