I've had radiesse injected into my cheeks, with the apple placed more laterally to produce a look which gave my face definition and angularity. Radiesse seemed to give me more of a bony augmentation because the filler is harder. I was wondering if voluma is capable of giving me enhanced cheekbones as radiesse did. I am worried that because of its hydrophilic nature, it will look more like a fatty augmentation and round my face.

Answer: Voluma vs Radiesse For Cheeks Voluma should be able to give you similar results to Radiesse when injected at the cheeks without giving you a rounder face. Voluma also lasts longer than Radiesse and can be reversed if ever necessary. Radiesse cannot be dissolved. Both products are injected in a similar manner to create lift and volume.

Answer: Voluma for cheeks vs Radiesse. Having used Radiesse extensively, and now happily using Voluma for most of my patients looking to improve their cheeks, I can say with experience that Voluma, when injected by a skilled injector can look flawless and natural. There is a smooth natural finish that happens with Voluma, that is very soft and blends well. It can also be used in areas where Radiesse is not favored, due to risk of feeling or seeing a small nodule or bump. If you have never tried Voluma I would definitely consider giving it a try over Radiesse. I have not seen any cases where a patient has a look of "fatty augmentation," I think what you may be seeing is overzealous injections, where they clearly over filled the patient. But, if your injector is known for creating a natural look, and you are clear that you want a natural look, this should be no problem. You can overfill with any filler if too many syringes are used.

Answer: Both Radiesse and Voluma can fill the cheeks Radiesse is perfect for cheeks that are very flat and require a lift and fill. Voluma fills the cheeks and creates contour but, do to the smaller volume and mode of action, does not lift the cheeks to the same degree. Neither product should feel or appear unnatural is artistically placed.
