You’ll notice immediate lift and volume, though mild swelling may exaggerate results initially. Final contour typically appears within two weeks as swelling subsides. Our team schedules follow-up to assess settling and discuss any minor touch-ups if needed.

Discomfort is minimal for most patients. Voluma contains lidocaine to reduce pain, and we offer topical numbing and gentle techniques. Your provider will adjust approach for comfort and explain what to expect so you feel relaxed throughout the procedure.

Voluma is designed for long-lasting correction, often maintaining cheek and midface volume up to 18–24 months. Individual duration varies based on metabolism, lifestyle, and treatment amount. We’ll discuss expectations and maintenance during your consultation.

Good candidates are adults with age-related volume loss in the cheeks or midface seeking natural-looking restoration. A consultation is required to review medical history, goals, and suitability. Pregnant or breastfeeding individuals may be advised against treatment.

Common effects include temporary swelling, bruising, redness, tenderness, or mild lumps at injection sites. These usually resolve within days to two weeks. We provide aftercare guidance to minimize discomfort and swelling, and follow-up if any unexpected reactions occur.

Avoid blood thinners like aspirin, NSAIDs, and alcohol for several days before treatment to reduce bruising. After treatment, avoid strenuous exercise, heat exposure, and facial massages for 24–48 hours; use cold compresses and follow our aftercare plan for best healing.
