Cheek augmentation is recommended to cure the loss of volume in the mid-face associated with aging
Juvederm Voluma XC is administered by injecting small amounts of 0.1-0.2 mL over a wide area to minimize the risk of persistent lumps
Additional treatments may be mandatory in order to achieve the desirable level of correction
The total amount of Juvederm Voluma XC used should not exceed 20 mL/60 kg of body weight each year
In the case of Restylane Lyft, up to 6 mL can be injected during each treatment
When using Restylane Contour, the maximum volume each treatment should not exceed 6 mL, and the total injected volume, including touch-up volume, should not exceed 12 mL
It is important to achieve the desired volume effect without overcorrection, aiming for 100% correction
