Juvederm and Voluma. Are they compatible? Can Juvederm be used on top of Voluma?

Question

I had Voluma injected for mid cheek volume in 2013. Doctor used Juvaderm for the touch up a year later and I had a bad outcome. Iv now heard since that the two products should not be used together.

Voluma is an excellent midface volume enhancer and can be used together with Juvederm on the face. Both are made of hyaluronic acid and are compatible. Best, Dr. Karamanoukian Los Angeles

Juverderm and Voluma are both hyaluronic acid dermal fillers produced  by Allergan and are definitely compatible. Voluma is the preferable filler for volume loss and is created using Vycross technology. Results typically last longer with Voluma and it is specifically designed to restore lost volume to the cheeks, chin, and jawline for a more youthful appearance.

Thank you for your question.Yes, Voluma and Juvederm are compatable and can be used together.

To be sure, see two or more experienced, licensed
and certified providers for a complete evaluation to make sure you are a good
candidate and that it is safe for you to have the procedure.

I hope this helps.

Thank you for your question. Voluma is a product made by Juvederm and yes these products are compatible as they are all hyaluronic acids. Best,

Both Juvederm Ultra/Ultra Plus and Juvederm Voluma XC are hyaluronic acid fillers made by Allergan.  They are commonly used together and are often complementary.  There are absolutely no concerns about compatibility. What is most important with these fillers is who injects them:  see a Board Certified Facial Plastic Surgeon, Dermatologist, Plastic Surgeon, or Occuloplastic Surgeon.  Generally speaking, if one were to require a touch up after Voluma for purposes of facial volume, more Voluma would be added.

Juvederm Voluma and Juvederm Ultra Plus or Ultra are considered a "family of fillers" and are very compatible.  In fact, they are both made of the same material -- hyaluronic acid.  The structure of each is slightly different though.  Voluma is stronger and more long lasting, so it is often used for deep injections such as augmenting the cheek bones or mid-face.  Juvederm Ultra Plus or Ultra is a softer material and is meant to fill more superficial folds/ wrinkles of the face or for lip augmentation.  Both are formulated for different parts of the face, but there is some overlap.  Since they are made of the same material, it is highly unlikely that you will get a reaction to one but not the other.  Be sure you see a "core" injector (facial 
plastic surgeon, plastic surgeon, dermatologist, or occuloplastic 
surgeon).  This is because we all have a keen understanding of facial 
anatomy and the effects of injecting Botox/ Xeomin/ Dysport and fillers 
in different
 regions of the face. I wish you well!

Without seeing your before and after and knowing more about your case, it is impossible to give you more specific advice.  However, Voluma and Juvederm and certainly be injected together and often that is the case.  Which filler is injected and where they are injected is determined by the patient's anatomy and specific need.  You really would need an in person consultation to know what further interventions you would need.  Also, since both products are HA, then they can be "melted" if you are worried about the result.  Good Luck.

Timothy R. Miller, MD · Answer

Voluma and Juvederm are typically very compatible and Juvederm can be used on top of Voluma.  Both products are in the class of hyaluronic acid gels and are actually made by the same company Allergan, the makers of Botox..  The full name for Voluma is Juvederm Voluma XC, and Juvederm goes by Juvederm Ultra XC or Juvederm Ultra Plus XC.  The attached link provides more information.I hope this helps.

Juvederm Voluma and Juvederm are completely compatible with each other.  Voluma is a fantastic filler for mid face volume.  I often use two or more fillers for different areas of the face in the same patient.  Juvederm and Voluma can definitely be used in the same patient and even layered in the same area.  I am sorry bout your bad outcome.  Please consult a board certified dermatologist with a great deal of experience with Voluma and other cosmetic fillers.

Juvederm Ultra and Voluma are both hyaluronic acid  dermal fillers from Allergan. For a complete look, I frequently combine the two products for different areas of the face. However, they are different products and typically I would touch up voluma with voluma.
