I heard that Voluma can be diluted/mixed with something else, and can then be used effectively under the eyes. What substance is it usually mixed with in those situations? Can BOTH substances be dissolved with hyaluronidase, and it that second substance more easily dissolvable than Voluma?
Answer: Tear Trough Hi @Rdhead1! You are correct, fillers can be diluted with either saline or lidocaine to thin the consistency. I hyperdilute Voluma in my practice to use for tear trough fillers. Best of luck to you, Dr. Nima!

Answer: Diluted for easier injections? Yes, many fillers can be diluted to thin out for ease of injection with either saline or lidocaine. Voluma would not be my first choice under the eyes. It can create a chronic swelling appearance. I prefer Belotero dilute with lidocaine or Restylane.Speak with an experienced injector.Best wishes, Dr. ALDO

Answer: Voluma diluted with another substances for use Under eyes? Thank you for sharing your question. Fillers can be diluted with either saline or lidocaine to thin their consistency, but with the variety of fillers available on the market it is easier to choose a thinner filler than to doctor Voluma. Hope this helps.

Answer: Saline or Lidocaine In younger patients with good quality skin and mild to moderate under-eye bags, a hyaluronic acid filler can help camouflage the bulging fat and improve the contour in this area. Voluma is great for adding volume to the cheeks and midface where its bulk can be masked by overlying tissue. Under thin tissues such as the cheek-lid junction or in the tear trough, however, Voluma can end up being lumpy and suffers from the tindle effect. This occurs even when diluted with saline or lidocaine.A thinner filler such as Belotero or Restylane Silk is a better choice in these areas to bring up the depths of the tear trough and to improve the contour of the cheek-lid junction. Thin fillers, such as these, have properties that allow the material to diffuse into the tissues more easily then other fillers — helping the material to spread out. When Belotero or Restylane Silk is injected correctly there is no visible or palpable bulge and no discoloration (kindle effect).See the link below.A detailed examination will help delineate the best option. Consultation with a surgeon certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery would be the next best step.

Answer: Diluting Voluma For Use Under The Eyes Any filler can be further diluted with saline or lidocaine to decrease it's density. I don't see the point of doing this with Voluma as there are a few other fillers that do the job very well for filling under the eyes. Make sure you see an expert injector.
