Voluma to lift and define your cheeks would help create a slimmer, more heart-shaped look to your face. Other suggestions would be augmenting your chin with Voluma or Sculptra to actually add length. Your masseters are also quite bulky. Botox can relax them, so you have a softer, longer, and more feminine look. And yes, Kybella is great for removing double chins with a series of injections. Be sure to consult a board-certified dermatologist who is an expert at modeling the face with injectable therapies to get a really spectacular look.
Hi @sylvia8427. I recommend Morpheus 8. Morpheus8 is a non-surgical treatment for full body skin resurfacing, skin tightening, and fat reduction of stubborn areas. It uses minimally invasive fractional radiofrequency energy (RF) to penetrate the skin deeper than other microneedling devices, triggering the skin’s natural healing response to promote skin tightening and lifting. Best of luck, Dr. Nima!
Yes, Voluma injected along the cheek bones towards the hair line will help to lift the cheek and cause a more "V" shape to the face. This creates a slimmer facial appearance. Kybella will also help to create a slimmer face. The Kybella treatment will reduce the fat cells under your chin and improve your profile, creating a slimmer jawline.
Voluma can be used to create volume and contour in the cheeks. Kybella is good for fat under the chin and won't make the jowls appear larger. Kybella take 1-3 treatments every 6 weeks. Patient will develop swelling and possible bruising after each injection that may last a few days. The benefit of Kybella is each treatment is quick and completed in the office. However, some patients need more than one treatment to get desired results. Hope this helps.
Thank you for your photo. Voluma is derived from hyaluronic acid which is a moisturizer found naturally in your body. Voluma is generally used for areas such as nasolabial folds and cheeks. Kybella is an injectable product that can be used to help your body to rid itself of fat cells that form under the chin (submental fat). It would be a good option to help reduce your double chin. For more information, I recommend getting a in person consultation with a board-certified dermatologist.
Hi. Thanks for your message. I would need to see more pictures of you from multiple angles and also photos at rest to answer this question. But I can give you general advice on the products. Voluma placed properly along the cheeks can lift and define the face which in turn can make your face look more slim, especially if you have jowls/heaviness in the lower face. Kybella can reduce the fatty tissue underneath the chin and create a more contoured jawline. It would be best if you had an in person consultation for a proper evaluation. Best of luck with your treatment!
I agree that you should wait for all of this to settle. The key is to balance the volume to the tear trough with the volume to the cheek to achieve a smooth contour. Once the swelling resolves I believe you will be able to create this nice transition. It’s essential that the tear trough is slig...
Sorry to hear about the dental problems and thank you for the question. I usually like my patients to wait a full 2 weeks before dental work, however, as long as all the injection sites are well healed without signs of infection you are probably in good shape. I...
Hi, I’m Lauren, the aesthetic injector at Colorado Plastic Surgery Center. No, Voluma is not typically recommended for lips. Voluma is dense and is typically used in the cheeks.
