Can Juvederm Voluma work for the jaw line?

Question

Is Juvederm Voluma only for the cheeks or can it also be used for tightening of the jowls? My friend said that only Radiesse is used for the jowls.

Voluma is a relatively new product that many patients are just now becoming familiar with. I have been using it in my practice and seeing amazing results for my patients. Voluma is a great injectable filler for the jawline, giving it a a tighter, more contoured appearance. Make sure you go to an experienced injector in order to get the best results.

Hi @Miss Alison! I recommend using Juvederm Volux which is specifically for the jawline. Best of luck to you, Dr. Nima!

Juvederm Voluma works great for the jawline and is a frequent location that patients really benefit from.

Voluma can be used in the jawline, but the method of injection in bolus form may not be appropriate for that particular area. Instead, Sculptra or Radiesse have good safety and efficacy in the jawline area and is preferred in our office. Best, Dr. Karamanoukian Los Angeles

I suggest going to an expert injector who uses cannulas for injections to limit complications and improve contouring.  This area needs good support and for the price, Voulma isntl the best option in my opinion.  It can be used but is more expensive and less defining than Radiesse combined with Sculptra or Bellafill.  I suggest seeing someone with experience who can do a great evaluation of your face and determine your individual needs.  Best, Dr. Emer.

Juvederm Voluma is common injected to improve the appearance of the jowls.  Voluma can be injected in the depression in front of the jowls to hide it or in the jawline above the jowls to give a slight lift.  Voluma works well in the jawline and cheek area.  I do not use it in the area close to the eye or tear trough.  I hope this helps.

Voluma is FDA approved for use in the cheeks, however it can be used with excellent results "off-label" in areas such as the chin and jaw line. This is an advanced technique so make sure you choose an experienced injector. Best of luck.

Although Voluma is FDA approved for cheek augmentation, I would also consider using Voluma in other areas where support and volume is desired such as the jawline.  I would hold off on areas where the tissues are thin and supple like the lips and tear trough areas.  Definitely go to an experienced injector when considering 'off-label' use of these products.

Jaw would be an off label use. Voluma is an ideal treatment for enhancement of the mid face. It works beautifully to correct malar fat descension and aging of the mid face. In some case it is been shown to last up to 2 years. It is not FDA approved for any other location other than mid face. It is a deep injection just off the bone and requires expertise in injecting. It should only be injected by a board certified dermatologist or plastic surgeon. I would recommend you discuss your issue with a board certified dermatologist.

Hi,Voluma can be safely and beautifully used for the jawline with a micro cannula.  With the micro cannula , you can avoid injuring important nerves and vessels in this area.Warmly,Dr.Liu
