Full, cherub-like cheeks have long been considered to be a sign of youth and vitality. If the passage of time has left you with noticeably saggy or sunken cheeks, Foglietti Fostyk Plastic Surgery can help. Juvederm Voluma XC is the first product FDA-approved to correct age-related volume loss in the cheeks. Made of hyaluronic acid, a natural-occurring substance that binds water to the skin, Juvederm Voluma XC restores youthful volume to the cheeks, creating a subtle lift and a more youthful profile.
How Does Juvederm Voluma XC Work?
When injected into the skin, Voluma XC works to lift and contour the cheeks. Depending on your specific needs and goals, Voluma XC can be injected into the apex, apples or hollow of the cheeks, or in various areas. During the consultation phase, a member of our team will meet with you to discuss the details of the treatment. They will explain the injection points and amount of Voluma XC product needed to produce your desired results.
Voluma XC can be administered as a standalone treatment or in conjunction with other facial rejuvenation or skin procedures. All of your treatment options will be discussed with you thoroughly so you can make the best decision regarding your cosmetic care.
Treatment Details
Juvederm Voluma XC can be administered in as little as 15 minutes in our Cleveland office. Treatment with Voluma XC is virtually painless, due to the presence of lidocaine, a numbing agent, in the injectable product. Using a thin needle, small amounts of Voluma XC will be injected into the deeper tissues of the face. The treated areas may be gently massaged.
What to Expect After
There is no recovery or downtime with Juvederm Voluma XC. You will be free to return to work and resume most normal activities after treatment. We recommend not exercising for 24 hours after injection as it may result in increased bruising and swelling. You are advised to avoid extended sun exposure, steam rooms and saunas for about two weeks after your treatment appointment. Side effects are minimal but include swelling, bruising, tenderness and discomfort at the injection site(s).
How to Ensure Best Results
You will see the full results of your Voluma XC treatment about one to two weeks after treatment. Results with Juvederm Voluma XC vary patient to patient but have been shown to last up to two years. Repeat treatments are recommended to maintain your results long-term. Our team will advise you on a repeat treatment schedule that works best for you. We can also recommend other skin and facial treatments that can complement your Voluma XC results.

Frequently Asked Questions
What areas can Juvéderm Voluma XC treat?
Juvéderm Voluma XC can add volume and definition to the cheeks, chin, and temples. It may help improve age-related volume loss, enhance facial contours, and create a more balanced profile.
Who is a good candidate for Juvéderm Voluma XC?
Good candidates are generally healthy adults who want to restore facial volume or enhance the cheeks, chin, or temples without surgery. Candidates should also have realistic expectations and no known allergies to the product’s ingredients.
Is Juvéderm Voluma XC treatment painful?
Most patients experience only mild pressure, pinching, or temporary discomfort during treatment. Juvéderm Voluma XC contains lidocaine to improve comfort, and a topical numbing product may also be used.
How many syringes of Juvéderm Voluma XC will I need?
The number of syringes depends on the treatment area, degree of volume loss, facial anatomy, and desired outcome. Some patients may need one syringe, while others may benefit from multiple syringes or treatments performed in stages.
When will I see results after Juvéderm Voluma XC injections?
Results are usually visible immediately because the filler adds volume as it is injected. The outcome may become more apparent after temporary swelling subsides and the filler settles.
How long do Juvéderm Voluma XC results last?
Results may last approximately one to two years, depending on the treatment area and the individual. Your body will gradually metabolize the filler.
Will Juvéderm Voluma XC results look natural?
Juvéderm Voluma XC can produce smooth, natural-looking results when administered by an experienced injector. Treatment is customized to complement your facial structure and enhance your features without creating an overfilled appearance.
How can I minimize swelling and bruising after treatment?
Apply a wrapped cold compress for short periods and follow your provider’s aftercare instructions. Avoid strenuous exercise, alcohol, excessive heat, and prolonged sun exposure for at least the first 24 hours or as directed.
Can Juvéderm Voluma XC be dissolved?
Yes. Because Juvéderm Voluma XC is made with hyaluronic acid, it can usually be dissolved with an injectable enzyme called hyaluronidase when medically appropriate. More than one treatment may sometimes be necessary.
How often will I need maintenance treatments?
Maintenance timing varies depending on the treatment area and how quickly your body metabolizes the filler. Many patients schedule another treatment when they notice their volume or definition beginning to fade.
Can Juvéderm Voluma XC be combined with Botox Cosmetic?
Yes. Juvéderm Voluma XC restores or enhances facial volume, while Botox relaxes targeted muscles that contribute to expression lines. Combining the treatments can address multiple signs of aging as part of a customized treatment plan.
