Thank you for your question on cheek augmentation with Voluma. Juvederm Voluma is a smooth, dense product that is FDA approved formid-face volumization and has been found to last up to 2 years. It isinjected deeply, right over the cheekbone to give support and lift to themid-face. We place Voluma starting with the upper, lateral cheek as thisprovides the best lift to the mid-face (including naso-labial folds). This technique results in a higher, more rounded and youthful curve tothe face and can even help improve the look of the under eye ("teartrough") area as well as corners of the mouth. The amount of Voluma used varies from patient to patient,depending on their age, quality of skin, volume loss, and sagging. Anaverage of one per syringe per side is very common, but some patients may needmore and some less (eg a more deflated balloon requires a greater amount of airfor reinflation compared to one that's lost very little air). It's important to seek out an experienced, qualified injector whohas extensive experience in order to achieve your best and safest result. Inour office, we have Master Injectors who are experts in the most advancedinjection techniques - giving our patients excellent, natural-looking outcomes.
Every patient is different. Some have significant volume loss, particularly older patients, that may require 2-3 cc per cheek. Younger patients may be able to get away with only 1-2 cc divided between the two cheeks. Most patients will need 1-2 cc per cheek to see a significant difference. I also believe that adding more product increases the longevity.All the best,
