Can Voluma create high cheekbones? Can it be injected high on the cheekbone or does it just add volume to the apple?

I personally think that some injectors inject too much in the cheek apple and when the patient smiles, the cheeks look enormous and the face is too full in the center.  So it is very important that the physician examine the entire face at rest and with movement to achieve the best aesthetic results.  Often making the cheekbones higher and extending more laterally to the sides of the cheek along the cheekbone line changes a square or round shape to a more pleasing tapered feminine, heart shape or oval High cheekbones are a universal feature of beauty and I usually inject in that region as well as other areas of the cheek and face to harmonize the face.  I recommend consulting with a board-certified dermatologist who listens and communicates well to learn your best options with Voluma.

Hi @Mcadoll123. This is an excellent question. Voluma is great for building higher cheekbones if injected properly. I recommend adding volume to the lateral zygoma of the cheek. Best of luck, Dr. Nima!

Thank you for your question. Voluma was designed specifically for the cheek area. Schedule an in person consultation with an expert injector to discuss your options. Best,

The beauty of Voluma is that the result is controlled by the injector and so there is a fair amount of flexibility with the end result.  That also points to the need for a well-experienced injector and one with a good aesthetic eye for planning out your results.  I always emphasize to my clients that the best product can be injected incorrectly if the injector is inexperienced.  But with a good injector, a product such as Voluma can be used to replace lost mid face volume or simply enhance cheek bone projection in a manner that looks very natural.I hope that helps!

Voluma is a newer generation filler consisting of hyaluronic acid gel. We generally identify filler based on their longevity, ability to lift and softness. Voluma has a duration of approximately 2 years and has an excellent ability to lift, thereby an excellent option for creating a high cheekbone. It does need to be positioned well, as fillers really require not just injection expertise but an aesthetic eye to make sure that the injected location creates the look that the patient desires. I also like injecting with a cannula to limit bruising and swelling.

Voluma ( Juvederm Voluma TM) is a soft tissue filler
designed to augment the mid-face soft tissue or cheek bone area. When done
correctly, by mimicking the effect of a cheekbone implant, it enhances and
rejuvenates the appearance of the face. Patients seeking for treatment with volume
should consult with a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon specialist in filler.

Voluma can enhance and  give the appearance of higher cheekbones to a degree and can be injected high on the cheekbone (deeply). It  does not just have to be used  to add volume to the apple. Most important is the skill of the injector - choose wisely.

Voluma is a very effective filler for cheek augmentation. It can be placed on the outer and front portion of the cheek to better define your cheeks, and lift some of the underlying tissues.  I would make sure you go to an experienced injector.

Voluma works best when injected on the arch of the cheekbone which creates the high cheekbone look. It can also be placed in the "apple" of the cheek or in the lower cheek (submalar) area but is much more effective in the area where you desire augmentation. Injection along the arch of the cheekbone also provides much more lift in the area of the nasolabial fold.Stephen Weber MD, FACSDenver Facial Plastic Surgeon

Voluma is an amazing addition to fillers. It has the ability to use it either in the 'apple' or via the apple to lift the cheekbones.  We find it has an immediate and long term effect.  Generally, I add other fillers for the more superficial area, but make no mistake:  the Voluma has a beautiful effect on the overall results.
