Voluma
Cosmetic Injectable for the Cheeks

Instantly restore volume in the cheeks for more youthful facial contours. Hyaluronic-acid filler from the maker of Juvéderm — results may last up to 2 years.

Voluma at Natural Results Plastic Surgery is performed personally by Dr. Carlos Mata — board-certified plastic surgeon (ABPS/FACS), Castle Connolly Top Doctor since 2018, and Newsweek America's Best Plastic Surgeon — at the practice's AAAASF-accredited surgical suite in Scottsdale, Arizona. 25,000+ procedures performed.

An Introduction

Instantly restore volume in the cheeks for more youthful facial contours with Voluma. It is manufactured by the same company behind Juvéderm with the same hyaluronic acid base, and board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Carlos Mata (a.k.a. Dr. Scottsdale®) treats patients with Voluma on a regular basis. To delay the signs of aging without surgery, the volume is replenished with this injectable filler in the cheek area — giving an appearance of rounder, shapelier cheeks. Voluma is directly injected around the hollows of the cheeks, which reduces wrinkles and creases. It is also used as an alternative to silicone-based fillers for cheek augmentation for individuals who have naturally flat cheeks.

01
What to Expect

Treatment, Comfort, and Results

Voluma is injected into the skin with fine needles, so some patients may experience some minor pain from the initial prick. Numbing creams may be applied to the injection site to ease discomfort. Patients also have the option to use lidocaine, which is mixed with the Voluma solution, to help provide anesthetic effects in and around the area.

A treatment may last from 10 minutes to 1 hour. Patients will be able to return to daily activities after several hours. There may be some swelling, discoloration, and tenderness around the cheeks, but will subside after a few days. Results are readily evident and may last up to 2 years.

Frequently Asked

Common Questions

01What is Voluma?+

A volume injectable for the cheeks. Manufactured by the same company behind Juvéderm with the same hyaluronic acid base, it instantly restores cheek volume for more youthful facial contours.

02Is hyaluronic acid natural?+

Yes. Hyaluronic acid is derived from natural substances found in the human body. Its main function is cell hydration; with its cross-linking abilities, it helps facial areas that lack volume. Over time, the gel substance breaks down and is absorbed naturally by the body without side effects.

03Who is an ideal candidate?+

Those who seek improved volume in the cheeks may consider Voluma as a noninvasive solution. The lack of cheek volume may be due to aging or natural facial structure. Dr. Mata will recommend if Voluma is the best option during the initial consultation.

04How long does the treatment take?+

10 minutes to 1 hour.

05Will it hurt?+

Voluma is injected with fine needles — some minor pain from the initial prick is possible. Numbing creams may be applied. Patients can also opt for lidocaine to be mixed with the Voluma solution for added anesthetic effect.

06What's the recovery like?+

Patients can return to daily activities after several hours. Some swelling, discoloration, and tenderness around the cheeks may occur but will subside after a few days. It may take up to 1 week before the filler fully settles within the cheek pockets.

07How long do results last?+

Results are readily evident and may last up to 2 years or longer — among the longest-lasting fillers available. Reinjection varies as patients' bodies process and break down hyaluronic acid at different rates.
