Cheeks help define the face, highlight the eyes, and add balance to the facial features. Cheeks implants are an option to increase fullness in cheeks. Another option is fat-transfer to the midface to create or restore volume.The newest option is Juvederm Voluma XC, the first facial filler to be approved by the FDA for the non-surgical treatment of the cheeks. Voluma adds volume to the cheeks and mid-face, gently lifting the three areas of the cheek (the apex, apple, and hollows) for a more youthful and healthy appearance.Voluma is better suited for refining the cheek region because of the smooth hyaluronic acid gel that the product is composed of. The substance is easily sculpted and the hyaluronic acid helps restore necessary moisture to the skin’s structure. It lasts much longer than some of its filler counterparts, delivering results for up to two years. The advanced injection techniques used make the procedure virtually painless, and as with other injectable treatments patients can resume normal activity right away.
