Juvederm® Voluma

Add a Natural Contour to the Cheeks

Many more patients are turning to non-surgical ways to rejuvenate their facial features. As we age, the loss of volume in our skin can add depressions in the skin, particularly in the cheeks. To get plumper cheeks, Dr. Hardesty offers injectable fillers, such as Voluma, to help patients look years younger. The team at Imagine Plastic Surgery help their patients regain their confidence with youthful cheek contours.

What is Juvederm® Voluma?

Voluma is an injectable filler from Juvederm. The gel-substance is made of hyaluronic acid which is a naturally occurring sugar in our bodies. Hyaluronic acid keeps moisture in the skin which helps with volume. The Voluma treatment will help make patients look years younger. Dr. Hardesty and his team at Imagine Plastic Surgery help their patients to regain confidence by adding volume to the cheeks. The cheeks are the most visible part of our faces, the contour of the cheeks controls the entire shape and proportions of the face, which is why Dr. Hardesty takes extra care of his patients by using the #1 brand of injectable filler.

The Juvederm® Voluma Treatment

A personalized treatment plan will be created by Dr. Hardesty at your consultation appointment. At the consultation, it is important to talk to Dr. Hardesty about all of your concerns with your cheeks, as well as what your aesthetic goals are. By understanding this, Dr. Hardesty will then create your treatment plan. The treatment plan will consist of how many injections you need as well as the injection sites. He wants to be sure to make your cheeks look natural and still be proportionate to the rest of your face.

How is Treatment Done?

Once a treatment plan that works for you is created, then the treatment will take place. This treatment is very quick, with most treatments taking less than an hour. Results will start surfacing immediately so you can see the change in your skin right away. The gel is injected under the surface of the skin where it lifts the cheeks to add volume and a contour. Most patients are comfortable during the treatment because the injectable gel also contains lidocaine which helps to diminish any pain. Though this treatment causes minimal pain and discomfort, Dr. Hardesty may use a numbing solution to help with any anxieties. Dr. Hardesty will inject the gel-like substance right into the points on the skin that will help you get rid of those signs of aging. The skin will appear smooth, plump, and natural.

Am I a Good Candidate?

The Voluma treatment helps anyone that may be suffering from loss of volume in the cheeks. To be sure that this will benefit you, Dr. Hardesty will ask about your medical history and allergens to prevent any complications. Regain your youthful appearance by getting plumper cheeks.
