So many actresses on TV that get fillers in their cheeks look so overdone. Is there less risk of this overdone look with Voluma?
Answer: Voluma Doesn't Cause Chipmunk Cheeks – Poor Injectors Do It's a shame that there are so many highly visible examples of poorly done cosmetic procedures in Hollywood. The unnatural chipmunk look you are referring to should never occur if you are being treated by an expert board-certified dermatologist who understands facial anatomy and aesthetics. The products we have at our disposal, such as the hyaluronic-acid based dermal filler Voluma, are phenomenal. Many other fillers give beautiful results as well. But to get phenomenal results, the technique of the injector must be phenomenal too. The planes of the face have a particular architecture that must be respected when augmenting the volume of tissue or bone. It is also important to study the face with movement so, for example, the cheeks don’t look too huge when smiling. Lastly, the injector must work closely with the patient and develop an honest relationship. Sometimes patients truly don’t see themselves as others do and they ask for more and more filler. Rather than just keep adding, an expert dermatologist will help the patient to understand the balance and symmetry of a beautiful face and why more is not necessarily better. Please find a board-certified dermatologist who can show you beautiful results with Voluma through photos, videos and patient testimonials. Taking time to do your research will get you the spectacular results you want.

Answer: Voluma for the Cheeks As with any filler, it depends on the injection technique used and the area injected for the deficit the patient presents with. In my practice, patients are extremely satisfied with their treatment and look very natural when using an average of 2 syringes per treatment session.

Answer: Voluma Will Not Give You Chipmunk Cheeks, But an Injector Lacking Artistic Vision Will Hi,I agree, "Lips and Cheeks on a Stick" that we see on many of the "Housewives of…" shows and in other actresses is not normal, not attractive, and makes those poor souls look like genetic mutants. It is not ever the product, in the case of your question Voluma, that causes the "chipmunk" cheeks; rather it is the lack of artistic vision and even lack of skill of the injector. Please make sure that you take the time and effort to choose your injecting physician most carefully. Good luck and be well.Dr. P

Answer: Voluma in cheeks Voluma is a great option to enhance the cheeks. As long as the amount given is appropriate for the issue at hand, one will not get "chipmunk" cheeks. The results depend entirely upon the amount of material used and how it is administered. Please have a frank discussion with your surgeon before proceeding so that he/she understands your goals.
