Would Voluma in my cheeks help lift my lower sagging face?

R
Rustydiamond22Mar 11, 2020

At 38 I have significant lower face sagging. I use to have a very full round face while growing up. With the past 6 months my face has seem to dramatically and quickly started to sag. I think it's mostly fat that has slid down. Would Voluma in my cheeks help lift this area at all? Is surgery my only option at this point?

Hi @Heaven0507! The upper cheek is a major support for the under eyes. I would first begin with addressing the volume loss in the cheeks followed by addressing the tear trough area. Best of luck, Dr. Nima!

Voluma is a very effective product in the jawline and can last up to one year or even longer in some patients. To ensure you get the best and longest-lasting results, make sure you work with an experienced injector who has had extensive training treating this area.
