Can I get Voluma for hollow cheeks without increasing the zygoma?

Question

I already have big cheekbones, however, I have a hollow face due to fat loss and it's a bit saggy. Is it possible to get voluma without the doctor injecting my upper cheeks/ zygoma? Can voluma lift the face if injected only in mid part?

Thank you for your question! It is difficult to make any recommendations without examining you in person. Make sure you consult with a board certified plastic surgeon. I would bring in wish pics to help describe the results you are going for. Good luck!

For unique cases where a variety of modalities could be used to treat the condition, I would suggest an in-person or virtual consultation to develop a custom and effective treatment plan.  It is difficult to precisely define the best option without collecting the same information. I suggest reaching out to an expert for a consultation with surgical and non-surgical methods to get a comprehensive option. Best, Dr. Emer.

Thank you for sharing your question.  Yes, Voluma can be injected lower into the cheek to help volumize without creating too high of a cheekbone look.  Be sure to see a specialist in consultation. Hope this helps.

Thank you for your question.Voluma injection is technique and injector dependent. It is well possible to get Voluma for hollow cheeks without accentuating high cheek bones or Zygomas. Understanding the deep fat pads and facial structures are the hallmark of filler injection in the face. In our practice we utilize Voluma for a variety of facial enhancements, such as lifting, Volumizing as well as support of deep fat pads which serve as foundation of face.

Hi there, 
Cheek volume can be addressed in many different ways to be tailored to the individuals needs. Absolutely, a softer filler can be used on the mid cheeks to improve fat loss. Using a cannula would be a favourable treatment technique to address hollowness in the middle of the cheek.

It is possible to add volume into the midface and submalar region (below the cheek bones) to help restore volume to a skinny or aging face. Cheekbones are not the only option to lift the face. Hope this helps!

Hello. Thank you for your question. Voluma can be injected just into the apples of your cheek without tapering up the zygoma. When you go for your appointment just let your injector know your concerns. You can get some lift, but you cannot expect an entire lower face lift with just injecting Voluma.

Robert T. Buchanan, MD (retired) · Answer

The standard for places for reinjecting Voluma are described as V1, V2, V3, and V4.  These corresponded to the zygomatic area, the lateral orbital area of the malar prominence, the medial orbital area of the malar prominence, and the sub-zygomatic cheek area.  To this, I have added the V3.5 area which runs from the area below the canthus on the malar area down toward the V4 area.  Each of these areas has its own problems and can develop independent of the other areas.  You, obviously, have a very prominent V1 area which does not need to be filled.  If, however, the other areas are deficient then Voluma is excellent at accomplishing this, with the exception of the V4 area which is not overlying any bone.  Although Voluma can be used there, a product like Vollure tends to work better since it is softer and can be placed in the superficial fat compartment.  Make certain that whoever you see for injections is an expert in these areas.
