Does Voluma have to be injected just above the bone when getting jaw fillers?

Question

I am soon getting jaw fillers and was wondering where the Voluma will be placed for a more masculine jawline? What if the doctor hits a jaw muscle? Are there any dangers? Does Voluma go the bone or is it more superficial? Thanks!

Thank you for your question. Voluma in the jawline is an appropriate option for defining the jawline. The filler is placed just above the bone. That being said, the muscle will be struck on the way down to the bone but there should not be any dangers with that. Always consult with an experienced injector prior to undergoing any procedure.

Hello and thank you for your question.  In order to build a more defined jawline, fillers such as Voluma are typically placed just on top of the bone.  In order to get to the bone, the needle does poke through muscle but does not pose any danger in doing so. Be sure that you are being treated by an experienced injector who specializes in facial aesthetics for best results!
