Maintaining the golden ratio or phi in this patient by mid-face augmentation. ⁣

This hyaluronic acid filler has inherently high lift capacity (Vycross technology) which helps maintain the inverted triangle of youth. ⁣

This will maintain fullness by expanding the midface centrally while using the bony support of the zygoma (bony arch of the cheek) laterally as a scaffold to detract from forming deep central wrinkles like the nasolabial folds (commonly known as smile/laugh lines). ⁣

She had 1 cc Voluma to right and left mid and lateral face for a total of 2 cc. ⁣


A few things to know about fillers : ⁣

–– Smooths fine lines & facial wrinkles⁣
–– Restores youthful volume to areas like the midface and jawline⁣
–– Creates balance in areas that are slightly asymmetrical⁣
–– Reverses mild skin laxity due to aging⁣
–– Fills out shallow scarring for a smoother look⁣
–– Rejuvenates the area under the eyes to produce a refreshed, awake appearance⁣
–– Requires little to no recovery time⁣
–– Results are temporary & requires repeat injections⁣
–– Results are dependent on the experience & qualifications of your injector⁣

Always consult with a board-certified plastic surgeon. ⁣
