in my experience Vollure is not as volumizing as Voluma is. but its up to you and your doctor. some physicians Im sure prefer Vollure. there is no right or wrong answer here
Dear Pinklady2012,Radiesse is definitely the way to go for the cheeks. It has the highest lift factor and last 1-2 years. I recommend juvederm for nasal labial lines.Radiesse is one of my favorite fillers for the midface. It stimulates a lot of natural collagen production in addition to being a filler so it tends to look more natural than Voluma.

The ability of a filler to "lift" is based on it's G prime, or "hardness." Fillers with a higher G prime can lift more. Voluma has a relatively higher G prime than other products so when injected deeper into the cheek it can create a "lifting" effect. It typically does take a bit more product to achieve this effect, but would be best accomplished with Voluma as compared to other lower G prime products.
Thank you for sharing your excellent question. I would not advocate Vollure for a cheek lift as the product is too thin to achieve meaningful improvement. I would recommend a thicker hyaluronic acid product like Voluma to have the intended effects. Hope this helps.
Both Vollure and Voluma are terrific fillers and I use them regularly. For lifting, Voluma is the superior product whereas Vollure is best for lines and wrinkles.As with all cosmetic treatments, especially when it comes to fillers, the skill of the doctor is of utmost importance. Don't trust your face to just anyone! Consult with an expert in facial aesthetics to maximize your results while minimizing side effects. You'll be happier and save money in the long run.
