Juvederm Voluma XC injectable gel is for deep injection in the cheek, chin, and jawline areas. Restylane Lyft is also a second option for this procedure.
What it treats
Corrects age-related volume loss in the cheek, chin, and jawline areas. The filler provides augmentation of the cheek, chin, and jawline regions to improve the facial profile, and can also be used to contour, smooth, and plump, depending on the patient’s individual concerns and areas of focus.
How it works
Filler is injected into the targeted areas to increase projection. It temporarily adds volume to the targeted areas and results in an improved facial profile. A cannula also may be used depending on facial structure, age, and desired look. The addition of lidocaine helps to improve the comfort of the injection by reducing sensitivity to pain.
Side effects and downtime
The most common side effects include temporary reactions at the treatment site such as tenderness, swelling, firmness, lumps/bumps, bruising, pain, redness, discoloration, and itching. Side effects are all mild and generally last 3-7 days.
Expected appointment length
45 minutes
This is dependent on consultation, the numbing and prep time, and the actual procedure.
Estimated treatment cost
$750-$3350 per area treated/per session. This will depend on age, volume loss, and desired look.
Suggested return visit
A two-week follow-up appointment is required for all new patients.
