Restylane Lyft vs. Juvederm Voluma for cheekbone augmentation?

These are 2 very different products.  Restylane Lyft is a true lifting agent with a coefficient of lifting twice that of Voluma.  It is great for any individual who needs any sort of lifting in the face but still very soft and natural looking.  It is especially good for under eye hollows, tear troughs, and cheeks.  The FDA approves it to last one year but the lift is superior to a Voluma lift.
Voluma is a hyaluronic acid, like Restylane Lyft, and the FDA approves it for lasting 2 years.  It is a softer product than Lyft.  For some this is a selling point, and for others, it's not.  Because it's soft, it's hard to overdo.  But, for the same reason, it's softness requires twice the number of syringes to give the same result as Lyft so it can be twice the cost.  It's lifting ability is also half that of Lyft thus requiring more product to create a lift.  
On average, a person needs 5 syringes of Voluma to equal the lift created from 3 syringes of Lyft.  If you're looking for a lift, then go with LYFT.

Both fillers are excellent for cheeks as they have high G primes.  They use different cross linking technology and the duration of both should be at least a year (although Voluma claims around 2 years).  Best Dr Shah

Fillers are done in the office and are temporary, lasting 12 to 24 months. An implant lasts longer, but not forever, and there is surgery and anesthesia and the complications are increased with invasive procedures. Lyft, and Voluma are similar in results.Best wishes, Dr. ALDOO 

Hello Stacy,Thank you for your question.  Both products are similar and last approximately 15 months (in my experience).  I would really recommend you seeking an in-office evaluation with a doctor who is experienced in fillers and focuses on them.  You can decide with your provider the best course of action to meet your desired goals.  Hope this helps.All the best,Carlos Mata, MD, MBA, FACSBoard-Certified Plastic Surgeon

Cheeks do best with more robust fillers like renuva, voluma, restylane lyft or bellafill.  Best, Dr. Emer.

As such it will drift after placement in the cheek.  In the cheek that means it will fall to lower portions of the cheek. Restylane Lyft in contrast will stay precisely where it is placed.  It also puts a premium on the skill of the injector to place the product.

Both products replenish lost volume in the cheeks. Juvederm Voluma is a dermal filler that's FDA approved for cheek and midface augmentation. Voluma tends to lift more than Restylane Lyft, but both products work well at restoring lost volume. Voluma may also last longer the RL, typically one year, whereas RL lasts between nine months to a year.

Thank you for your question. 
There are many great products for adding volume to the cheek area. Restylane Lyft is a nice choice; however, we use more Juvederm Voluma. It has a higher G prime and gives very nice contour and definition to the cheek area, resulting in softening of the nasolabial folds and marionette lines. The longevity of Juvederm Voluma is 18-24 months, whereas restylane Lyft duration may be less than Voluma. 
Voluma is the only hyaluronic filler with FDA approval for cheek augmentation 
Please consult a local board certified facial plastic surgeon for more information and a comprehensive consultation 

Restylane LYFT is an excellent filler and is the "stiffest" HA filler available.  When properly applied to the upper and midface, it is an excellent choice for cheek augmentation and lifting.
Voluma is a HA filler that utilizes Vy-Cross technology to achieve lifting.  Although not as stiff as LYFT, it too achieves excellent lifting and augmentation when correctly applied.
In conclusion, both are excellent choices for cheek augmentation and each last approximately 1-year.  I would recommend selecting between the two based on your injectors personal experience between the two.  I will note that LYFT may be more competitively priced.  
It must be noted that Voluma achieves more duration with touch ups and additional volume (based on data submitted for the 2-year indication)
I hope this helps.

Thank you for your question. Both restylane lyft and voluma are approved for malar augmentation. In our practice we use a lot of both products. The choice of which product is used largely depends upon cost. Restylane Lyft has a much lower price point and therefore multiple syringes are more palatable for many patients. Voluma is more expensive but does tend to last longer. One thing you will notice is that voluma is much harder to dissolve if you are unhappy with your result. Good luck!
