Voluma Liquid Lift - Creating The Perfect Cheekbones

There’s a reason great facial bone structure is beloved. With age, jowls and cheeks can droop, turning the face bottom-heavy and making us look older. Cheekbones can act as an achor for the skin, so it wouldn't droop as much, nor as soon. For those not blessed with high cheekbones, there is Voluma Liquid Lift to gently plump up cheeks, thus restoring youthful facial contours.

Notice how supermodels tend to have naturally high cheekbones ? Now, the rest of us can achieve this look with Voluma Liquid Lift

How does Voluma Liquid Lift works ?

Full cheeks are the hallmark of a youthful face. Voluma Liquid Lift is a non-surgical procedure to gently fill up deflated areas of the mid cheek with injectable hyaluronic acid, which is a substance that is naturally present in our skin and connective tissues. The treatment aims to restore diminished facial fat pads and skin collagen secondary to aging. The results are natural looking and mimic natural high cheekbones. With fuller cheeks and higher cheekbones, the appearance of laugh lines and jowls will be less visible and sagging facial skin is lifted.


What are the benefits of Voluma Liquid Lift compared to conventional surgical facelift ?

Voluma Liquid Lift offers the benefit of :
- Almost no recovery time needed. Though mild swelling many linger, patients can return to their daily activities quickly, whereas facelift patients need a week or two to heal.
- Excellent safety profile as the procedure is non-invasive in nature (does not involve open surgery or general anesthesia)
- No visible surgical scar
- Natural looking results
- Offers more patient control of the outcome. Patients have the opportunity to decide on the amount of filler material to be injected as they are able to communicate with the doctor during the procedure.
- Reversible results. Patients who decide they want their old appearance back can simply have the filler material disolved with another injection procedure.

However, Voluma Liquid Lift is unable to achieve the same lifting and skin tightening effects compared to a conventional facelift.

What should I expect after Voluma Liquid Lift ?

The results of Voluma Liquid Lift are instant and last up to 18 months. Immediately after the procedure, there may be some swelling and redness which will resolve spontaneously after one or two days. Rarely, there may be minimal bruising which can be covered up with make-up. The patient can resume their daily activities immediately.

Is Voluma Liquid Lift suitable for me ?

Do consult our doctor to know if Voluma Liquid Lift is the treatment of choice for your anti-aging concerns. Generally, patients with deflated cheeks, deep laugh lines at the corners of the mouth and jowls will be good candidates for the procedure. It is also a safe and cost-effective treatment without any significant recovery time for those not keen on a surgical facelift.
