Thank you for your question about the difference between Restylane Lyft and Juvederm Voluma. Both are used to volumize the midface. They can be used to define the cheekbones, and provide lift to the midface which can in turn soften lines of the lower face such as marionette lines. Typical starting amounts of Restylane Lyft and Juvederm Voluma would be one syringe per side. Depending on the amount of volume loss, you may need more. Restylane Lyft typically lasts around 1 year, and Juvederm Voluma can last up to 2 years. To be certain you receive appropriate treatment, see two or more experienced, licensed and board-certified providers in your area for a complete evaluation to make sure you are a good candidate and that it is safe for you to have treatment. I hope this helps.To be sure, see two or more experienced, licensed and board-certified providers in your area for a complete evaluation to make sure you are a good candidate and that it is safe for you to have treatment.

Thank you for your question. Both are great products to help lift and shape the mid face / cheek region. I use them both, and more important than which product is the technique in which they are used. I would recommend that you visit with an experienced board certified plastic surgeon or dermatologist who has a high volume injectable practice. I am a trainer for both Voluma and Restylane Lyft and know first hand that there is a wide range of experience amongst injectors. Often an experience injector can create a more aesthetic result using more advanced techniques with less product.
While both are hyaluronic acid gels, the physical properties of the gels are different. Voluma is cross-linked in a manner that makes it more cohesive and therefore it has more lift capacity. Restylane Lyft is Perlane, which fills, but cannot have the same lift effect as Voluma because the gel is less cohesive.Good luck!
