When an amount of weight loss such as this occurs it may have the potential to change the laxity of one’s skin. It can be frustrating when there is a loss of volume and/or slack skin around the cheeks.
Another aesthetic area that may need to be addressed is the appearance of nasolabial folds or marionette lines, which are found around the mouth.
Voluma is a cosmetic injectable gel used by plastic surgeons and aesthetic nurse specialists to restore the loss of volume in the cheek area which can occur with age and /or after weight loss. It’s highly important to seek medical professionals who are experts in the facial anatomy and are highly skilled in facial volume restoration.
Voluma has become a leading product in the aesthetic market. In a single visit, an injection series will add volume to the cheek pad area with results lasting up to two years.
Some medical professionals may recommend that their patient return a couple weeks later rather than performing another type of cosmetic injection treatment such as Juvederm.
And this is why.
Although results can be seen immediately, professionals may like to wait a couple weeks after the injection series has settled. While patient dependent, in some instances individuals may not need Juvederm cosmetic injections to lessen the appearance of nasolabial folds or marionette lines because the added volume in the cheek area may have resolved those issues.
Understanding that every patient is different, in other instances, Juvederm may be recommended following a Voluma treatment. Also performed in one visit and done in a series of injections, Juvederm does an excellent job in minimizing the appearances of these lines around the mouth.
Many people on their weight loss journey may wonder when to schedule these cosmetic injections. It’s recommended that five pounds within one’s weight loss goal is ideal for when a patient should schedule a treatment of Juvederm or Voluma. During the initial consultation, a patient can discuss the goals that he or she has.
For many individuals, a facial rejuvenation plan is part of the weight loss goal celebration.
