Volbella in temple hollows, is that normal?

Question

My doctor out Volbella in my temple hollows. Is this normal? At first I thought it looked good, but now I don’t see much of a correction.

Douglas Wu, MD · Answer

Volbella is a subtle filler, so I usually use it for natural-looking lip augmentations. The temple is not a good place to use Volbella. For temples, I’d pick a thicker filler, such as Voluma. If you’re not seeing the change you want, you can return to your injector. You might also look at your Before photos; sometimes the change is more dramatic than you think because we quickly get used to our new look, forgetting what we looked like just days before a procedure. Consulting with your board-certified dermatologist will give you an opportunity to decide if you’d like more filler or if the correction was enough for you.

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

Volbella is a thinner filler and will give subtle results. The temples can be improved with well-placed fillers (Voluma, Radiesse, Bellafill) and Sculptra. Fat is an alternative. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with a facial sculpting expert. Best, Dr. Emer

Thank you for sharing your question.  I would verify that Volbella was the filler used as this is comprised of a very thin gel and would add little volume to the temples.  In most cases Voluma is a better choice out of the Juvederm family of fillers.  Hope this helps.

Dmitriy Schwarzburg, MD · Answer

Fillers are used to smooth out lines and wrinkles, add volume, and contour facial features. Sure, can use Volbella in the temple area. Consult with a trusted doctor in your area to know more about the treatment.

Thank you for your question. 
We would tend you use Voluma in temple hollows as it provides structure and support.  Volbella is a beautiful product but is better suited for lip augmentation.
