I want my anteromedial cheek aka "apple of the cheek" to be full and youthful but I notice that when I add filler to that area, my submalar area directly below that aka hollow also increases in volume, giving my face a bottom heavy look that I do not like. I understand there is the infraorbital neurovascular bundle above the anteromedial cheek point of injection so would asking the physician to place the filler slightly higher be problematic?
Answer: Voluma Techniques Thank you for your question. I would recommend consulting with a Board Certified Dermatologist for best treatment plan. Infraorbital Neurovascular bundle is not an area of injection. There's an area in the anteromedial cheek that's safe to inject and an experienced injector should know that. I hope this helps!

Answer: Voluma as filler: how is it best used? Voluma is an 'H.A.' class filler that is FDA approved for mid-face augmentation. (below lower eyelids, near cheekbone). Since it is denser than some H.A. fillers, it lasts longer & can better support soft tissue. Many people, especially those with a heritage from northern Europe, have relatively deficient mid-face structures. Even with good soft tissue in the cheeks, with aging comes descent & loss of volume. So the injectable fillers can really make a nice improvement in facial support. We have used other fillers as well such as Restylane, Sculptra, & Radiesse and each has its pros & cons. It is important to not OVER-fill with any of these and the lower eyelids region deserves utmost care & precision. An experienced physician injector can discuss your best filler options prior to this rewarding & artistic treatment.
