I am going to be having some cosmetic work done. (mini lift) The MD advised Voluma gives a better result than fat grafting. I was looking for a procedure that would have more lasting results for fuller cheeks. Any advice? I hate being a 'slave' to these fillers. Thank you
Answer: Voluma vs Fat Grafting I stopped doing fat grafting about ten years ago which was about the time that the first truly effective and long-lasting filler (Restylane) was approved in the U.S. Since that time, there have been a number of newer fillers introduced, including Voluma. We now have the ability to take a filler off the shelf and inject not just lines and folds but the entire face for a global rejuvenating and lifting effect. Results can last two years or more. For most patients, fillers are definitely the way to go.

Answer: Voluma vs Fat Grafting Voluma can provide long lasting results - sometimes as much as two years depending on how much product is injected. Sculptra is another choice which definitely lasts two or more years. Fat grafting has its share of complications and is a much more invasive procedure. Please consult a board certified dermatologist for the best cosmetic results. Best, Dr. Green
