Voluma for areas other than the cheeks?

Question

female, 40's I would like create facial symmetry I wasn't born with

Nana N. Mizuguchi, MD, FACS · Answer

Voluma is FDA approved for the treatment of volume loss in the mid face.  Most people have asymmetry and Voluma is a great tool to utilize for correction of asymmetry.  Juvederm Ultra Plus and Juvederm Ultra may be used in conjunction with Voluma.  These products are all hyaluronic acids although they have various consistencies.  For example, Voluma is injected deep in the subcutaneous area or directly on the bone, whereas Juvederm is placed in a more superficial plane to treat wrinkles and lines, but not necessarily volume loss.  I recommend you seek treatment with an experienced injector.Thank you.

Yes, Voluma can be used in areas of than the cheeks.  As a matter of fact, it is cleared in Europe for volumizing the cheeks and chin.  The US FDA indication is for cheeks but off label use of the product may be considered for adding volume to the chin and also for the liquid rhinoplasty.  Before proceeding, discuss in detail with your doctor.  I hope this helps.

Voluma can be used in areas other than the cheeks, however, it must be placed in the proper plane of the skin by a trained expert.  Great volume and longevity can be achieved by Voluma. Amy Brownlee, MS, PA-C

Voluma can be used in areas other than the cheeks. This is an off-label indication for Voluma meaning areas other than the cheeks were not studied by the FDA. This type of injection should be performed only by an experienced Plastic Surgeon or Dermatologist injector. Voluma should not be placed in the tear trough, undereye, nasolabial fold or lips. Whether you would benefit from treatment of other areas and whether or not that is safe would require an in person consultation with a physician injector. I hope this information is helpful.Stephen Weber MD, FACSDenver Facial Plastic Surgeon
