I've seen a dermatologist for a consultation and he said I needed a bit of cheek filler. I asked him about my under eye bags and he said that he doesn't do that work. Would the voluma help with the bags at all. Or is this dr not good to see if he doesn't do that?!
Answer: Lower eye lift vs cheek implant Thank you for your question and sharing your concern. I would recommend visiting with a board certified plastic surgeon who can discuss a lower eyelid procedure where the skin and muscle is tightened and the fat redistributed. It would a more impactful way of addressing your concern than a cheek implant.

Answer: Best Treatment for Lower Eyelid Hollowness, Eye Bags Hi Kimali,Before Voluma was FDA approved in the US, patients requesting lower eyelid filler treatment received Restylane. Now we treat the cheeks with Voluma first, if there is still lower eyelid hollowing then a much less amount of Restylane is used. That is a long way of saying Yes, Voluma can help with hollowness under the eyes, even without directly injecting the lower eye area. Make sure that you choose your injecting physician most carefully based on their skill, experience, knowledge, and natural artistic vision. Good luck and be well.Dr. P

Answer: Fillers For Under Eye Bags We can't see your full cheeks in the picture, but from what we can see you would probably benefit from Voluma to the cheeks. Although Voluma in the cheeks will help improve the appearance of the area under the eyes, the improvement will be minimal and you will probably still need additional filler under the eyes to help camouflage the bags. Find an experienced injector that can do both for you at the same time. Best of luck.

Answer: Voluma not for under eyes Voluma is an excellent alternative to currently used fillers. We use it for restoring mid face volume in the cheek that had previously been difficult to enhance. We have seen great results lasting 12 months and more. I would suggest you discuss your concern regarding your prior treatment with a dermatologist that has experience with Voluma. We do use it with other fillers used in different areas. We do not use under eyes nor do we recommend this so your concerns should be checked out by a doctor.

Answer: Voluma for Under Eye Bags? Thank you for submitting a photo with your question. The under eye bags that you see are becoming more prominent because the fat in your cheeks has diminished. Plumping up your cheeks again will help to hide the bags. This works for most people. Occasionally, someone does have a very prominent fat pad under the eye which would be better served with surgery, but from your photos I think a filler is a good option for you at this point. Good luck!
