Over time, due to aging, the face will loose volume in the cheek area. Soon wrinkles will develop on your face, and folds may become more visible. JUVÉDERM VOLUMA® XC is designed to temporarily add volume to the facial deep fat pads for a smoother appearance to the face. The lidocaine in the gel improves the comfort of the injection by reducing sensitivity to pain.
Details
Cheek fillers are injections that raise the volume of the area above and around your cheekbones. This provides the illusion of a more defined bone structure. By injecting volume under your skin layer, cheek fillers can also smooth out wrinkles and fine lines.
Downtime
The most common side effects included temporary reactions at the treatment site such as tenderness, swelling, firmness, lumps/bumps, bruising, pain, redness, discoloration, and itching.
Procedure time
Allow for 1 hour or more for this procedure. Multiple syringes are generally used to reshape the cheeks.The lidocaine in the gel improves the comfort of the injection by reducing sensitivity to pain so no topical numbing is needed.
Recovery
JUVÉDERM VOLUMA® XC provides natural-looking and long-lasting results that last up to 2 years with optimal treatment. There may be some bruising due to needle inclusion which could take up to 2 weeks to subside. Sleep elevated for the next couple of days to minimize swelling.
