What is Juvederm Voluma® XC?
As we age, we lose not just the collagen in the skin but also the volume of fat and tissue in the face. Fat cells are anatomically separated in the face, and some of these fat deposits will wither or sag over time due to increased skin laxity and aging. The volume loss and drooping of facial tissue can result in deep facial wrinkles and folds under the eyes, extending onto the cheekbone, also known as tear troughs. This process accentuates the aging of the midface and also leads to the deepening of wrinkles such as marionette lines, frown lines, laugh lines, and vertical lip lines.
Before the introduction of Voluma, it was common practice to use a collection of fillers to plump severe facial wrinkles. This often led to an unnatural, overly-filled appearance of the lower face around the mouth and nose. To avoid this, Juvederm Voluma can be a deep injection into the midface tissue to add lost volume and lift the dropped fat pads to form deep nasolabial lines, making it an optimal treatment.

Meet Doctor SweatWho is a Candidate for Dermal Fillers?
The ideal candidate for Juvederm Voluma XC would be a patient looking to correct the volume loss that occurs with age or may be part of a younger patient’s normal anatomy. For patients with early aging of the lower eyelids with minor bags under the eyes and elongated lower lids, which happens during aging, Juvederm Voluma XC injectable gel can be a safe, simple, and quick solution to reshape the lower lids and cheekbones. The patient may also want to add a more defined cheek contour for better facial symmetry.
Injectable fillers are a great option for those seeking subtle volume improvements. Many people manifest the signs of volume loss in their late 30s and early 40s, but there is no right or wrong age at which Juvederm Voluma can be used. Voluma can also correct volume loss in other areas of the face and body, such as strengthening the jawline or chin or correcting volume loss in the temples.
However, if you have severe facial volume loss and skin laxity that creates jowls and bands in the neck, you may be better served by a plastic surgery procedure, such as a facelift or neck lift. Additionally, patients with multiple severe allergies will likely need alternate solutions to achieve optimal facial anatomy.

The Procedure
If you notice volume loss in your cheekbone area and want to recover higher cheekbones, Juvederm Voluma can restore that lost volume. Juvederm Voluma has a hyaluronic acid base, similar to the hyaluronic acid naturally produced by the body. However, the thicker formulation of Voluma is designed to be injected deep near the bone, and since it is thicker than other dermal fillers, it is more slowly absorbed by the body and can last for 18-24 months. The XC in the name means lidocaine has been added to the formula for increased comfort during and after injection.
Juvederm Voluma for Tear Troughs
Voluma fills in age-related volume loss, leading to tear troughs and bagging of the lower lids. This results in a refreshed, more youthful appearance without downtime, expense, or surgery recovery.
Juvederm Voluma For the Chin
Juvéderm Voluma® XC has also been approved for use in the chin region. It is the first dermal filler that can be used in this area of the face. This provides a great alternative to chin implants for those who only want a small change and want to avoid an invasive chin augmentation procedure.
Juvederm Voluma for Combination Procedures
Combining Voluma with chemical peels can enhance skin texture and tone while restoring volume to the mid-face. Cheek augmentation and lip augmentation with Juvéderm enhance overall facial harmony by plumping the areas and balancing proportions.
