As we age, it’s natural for the midface region—particularly the cheeks—to lose volume and definition. This volume loss can lead to a hollow or sunken appearance, and it can deepen smile lines, contributing to a tired or aged look. At Maia Plastic Surgery in the Washington, D.C. area, we offer Voluma injections by Juvéderm to help restore lost volume, smooth smile lines, and create a more youthful, rejuvenated appearance—all without surgery.
What is Voluma?
Juvéderm Voluma is a specially formulated injectable filler designed to add volume to the midface and cheeks. Made from hyaluronic acid, a substance naturally found in the skin, Voluma is designed to lift and contour the cheek area. Unlike other dermal fillers, Voluma has a thicker consistency, making it perfect for enhancing volume and providing lift in areas that have experienced age-related volume loss.
The result? A smoother, fuller, and more youthful facial profile. Voluma is also FDA-approved, making it a safe and effective option for non-surgical cheek enhancement.
The Benefits of Voluma Injections
Voluma injections offer a range of benefits, including:
1. Restored Volume and Lift
As we age, the natural fat pads in the cheeks begin to shrink, leading to sagging skin and loss of definition in the midface. Voluma injections work to restore volume, creating a more lifted and youthful appearance in the cheeks. This enhancement also indirectly smooths nasolabial folds (smile lines) by adding structure to the midface, providing a more refreshed look.
2. Non-Surgical, Immediate Results
One of the biggest advantages of Voluma is that it provides a non-surgical alternative to more invasive procedures like a facelift. Patients can achieve significant midface enhancement with no need for surgery, downtime, or anesthesia. Results are often noticeable immediately after the injection, allowing you to enjoy a rejuvenated appearance right away.
3. Long-Lasting Effects
Voluma is a long-lasting filler with results that can last up to two years. This is significantly longer than many other fillers, which often require touch-ups every six to nine months. Because of its durability, Voluma is a cost-effective option for those looking for long-term improvement without frequent visits to their doctor.
4. Minimal Downtime and Side Effects
Voluma injections are minimally invasive, meaning most patients can return to their daily activities immediately after treatment. The most common side effects include mild swelling, bruising, or tenderness at the injection site, but these typically resolve within a few days.
In a clinical study, over 90% of patients reported satisfaction with their results after six months of treatment, and 75% were still satisfied after two years, according to Allergan, the makers of Juvéderm Voluma.
Voluma injections are ideal for adults who are experiencing midface volume loss due to aging. If you’ve noticed your cheeks appearing hollow or flat, or if your smile lines have become more pronounced, Voluma may be the perfect solution. It’s also a great option for those who want to enhance their cheekbones or create a more defined facial contour without undergoing surgery.
