Voluma
Turn Up Your Volume
Savannah Voluma at Savannah Facial Plastic Surgery
Voluma injectable gel filler is available at Savannah Facial Plastic Surgery as part of our suite of advanced non-surgical rejuvenation treatments. Voluma has a thicker and more robust gel consistency compared to many other dermal fillers. Its formulation makes it well-suited for providing structural support to the cheeks and midface, as well as lifting and contouring. As an added benefit, Voluma can help to smooth out wrinkles and the appearance of jowls. It is also one of the longest-lasting dermal fillers on the market, providing results that can endure for 18 months or more.
Flaunt Fabulous Cheeks
What is Voluma?
Voluma is an injectable gel filler that’s part of the Juvederm family. This particular brand of Juvederm is a bit thicker, making it ideal for adding volume to the cheeks, cheekbones, and chin, creating a lifted and more youthful appearance by restoring volume and structure.
Composed of hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring substance in the body, Voluma yields natural-looking results when administered by one of our skilled practitioners in an in-office injection procedure. The process is quick, and the results are immediate.
Youthful Fullness
What are the benefits of Voluma?
Juvederm Voluma is renowned for its ability to restore volume to the midface and cheeks, rejuvenating the facial appearance by addressing age-related volume loss. Voluma not only replenishes lost volume but also imparts a lifting effect, diminishing sagging skin and defining the jawline. One of its key advantages is its long-lasting nature, with results often remaining visible for up to 18 months or more. This non-surgical option offers facial rejuvenation without the need for extensive downtime or surgery, and treatments can be customized to meet individual needs.
Get Your Glow
Your Voluma Consultation
You may be an ideal candidate for Juvederm Voluma if you have sunken cheeks or sagging in the lower part of the face as a result of aging. Voluma can also improve the hollow appearance in the cheek area brought on by weight loss. As with all medical procedures, excellent candidates are those in good overall health and who have informed, realistic expectations. To learn about Voluma and receive personalized treatment recommendations based on your needs, we invite you to schedule a consultation with one of our aesthetic specialists. They will take time to learn about your goals and provide knowledgeable guidance on your rejuvenation journey.
Naturally Contoured
Your Voluma Procedure
Preparation: An initial consultation is the first step of any procedure. There we will discuss your health history. Medications such as aspirin and ibuprofen should be avoided as they can increase the likelihood of bruising.
The Injection Procedure: The procedure for Juvederm Voluma is fairly simple and relatively painless. Your provider will use a very thin needle to inject Juvederm Voluma beneath the skin. The number of injections depends on the desired results—all of which will be covered in the initial consultation. There is little discomfort when receiving Juvederm Voluma injections. However, we may anesthetize the area before injection to help alleviate any minor discomfort.
Instant Rejuvenation
Voluma Recovery and Aftercare
The great thing about Juvederm Voluma is that there’s no downtime after the procedure. You can get back to your normal activities almost immediately, though there may be some initial redness for a few minutes. Temporary bruising may occur, but applying ice packs tends to help. Bruising and any swelling will disappear within a few hours or just a few days. You will begin to see results immediately. Juvederm Voluma has been shown to last up to as long as 18 months.
Longer Lasting
Voluma Results
Many individuals notice immediate improvement in volume and contour following the treatment. However, the full effects of Voluma may take a few weeks to fully manifest. The added volume in the cheeks helps to create a lifted and youthful appearance. By restoring volume to the midface, Voluma also helps lift and contour sagging or drooping skin, reducing the appearance of jowls and creating a more defined jawline. The results of Voluma are longer-lasting than many other dermal fillers, often providing beautiful refreshment for up to 18 months or more before a touch-up may be needed.

Frequently Asked Questions
Juvederm Voluma is a hyaluronic acid volumizer. Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring substance in our bodies that adds hydration and volume to our skin.
All Juvederm products are injectable gels composed of hyaluronic acid and produced by the company Allergan. Juvederm Voluma is a slightly thicker gel that creates a more dramatic effect in the areas of the cheek or chin, whereas other Juvederm products are thinner and better suited for filling thin lines and wrinkles.
Juvederm is a very safe treatment with very few risks or complications. However, it should not be used on women who are pregnant or nursing. Juvederm Voluma should not be used with some medications, which is why it’s important to give your aesthetic provider information about any and all medications you are taking.
After the initial consultation, a Juvederm Voluma treatment only takes about 15 to 30 minutes.
Juvederm Voluma is injected beneath the skin using a very fine needle, so while there is some initial discomfort–like a sting–it’s brief. We can use ice or topical anesthesia to help ease any discomfort.
The effects of Juvederm are temporary, but they can last up to 18 months. We may recommend a follow-up treatment to prolong the effects.
Sometimes “touch-up” injections are needed to get the best results. If you aren’t 100 percent satisfied with the procedure, we encourage you to call Savannah Facial Plastic Surgery to schedule a follow-up visit.
Unlike surgery, the effects of Juvederm Voluma are not permanent, so it is not considered an alternative to surgery, but Juvederm Voluma can prolong the need for surgery. Additionally, it can be used as a way to “preview” the results of more permanent procedures.
