At Cynthia Salter-Lewis, MD Anti-Aging and Cosmetic Medicine in Marlboro, NJ, we understand how age-related volume loss can impact your appearance. Over time, cheeks may flatten, temples can hollow, and facial contours lose definition. JUVÉDERM VOLUMA™ XC offers a safe, non-surgical solution to restore fullness, provide a gentle lift, and create natural balance. Whether you’re seeking a non-surgical cheek lift, hollow temples treatment, or non-surgical chin augmentation, this advanced filler delivers lasting, natural-looking results.
What is JUVÉDERM VOLUMA™ XC?
JUVÉDERM VOLUMA™ XC is an advanced dermal filler in the Juvederm line, designed to correct age-related volume loss in the cheeks, temples, and chin. JUVÉDERM VOLUMA™ XC is made with Allergan’s proprietary VYCROSS™ technology, an advanced manufacturing process that results in a smooth gel that flows easily and consistently.
This unique formulation contributes to the lift capacity that corrects volume loss in the cheek area and to the duration of the product. Additionally, JUVÉDERM VOLUMA™ XC contains a small amount of lidocaine, which helps to numb the treatment area during the injection procedure.

Risks of JUVÉDERM VOLUMA™ XC
JUVÉDERM VOLUMA™ XC is an FDA-approved, non-surgical filler designed to restore lost volume in the cheeks, temples, and chin. When performed by a qualified injector like Dr. Cynthia Salter-Lewis, it is considered a safe and effective option for achieving natural-looking facial rejuvenation.
While most side effects are mild and temporary, it is important to be aware of potential risks so patients can make informed decisions and enjoy the best results possible. Common temporary effects include redness, swelling, tenderness, bruising, or firmness at the injection site, which typically resolve within a few days.
Less common but possible risks may include:
- Lumps or unevenness under the skin
- Prolonged swelling or bruising
- Infection at the injection site
- Rare vascular complications if filler enters a blood vessel
Because JUVÉDERM VOLUMA™ XC is made with hyaluronic acid, results can be adjusted or dissolved if necessary, offering an added level of reassurance. Choosing an experienced injector greatly reduces the likelihood of complications and ensures a smooth treatment experience.
What to Expect for a JUVÉDERM VOLUMA™ XC Treatment
Before the Treatment
Your appointment begins with a consultation with Dr. Cynthia Salter-Lewis to discuss your goals and determine if JUVÉDERM VOLUMA™ XC is the right option. During this evaluation, she will assess your facial structure, degree of volume loss, and overall skin condition. Patients should share any relevant medical history, allergies, or prior cosmetic treatments to ensure a safe and customized plan.
During the Treatment
On the day of treatment, the injection sites are carefully cleansed and mapped for precise placement. Using a fine needle or cannula, Dr. Salter-Lewis administers VOLUMA™ XC into the midface to restore volume and create a subtle lift. The filler contains lidocaine, which helps minimize discomfort, and most procedures take only 15 to 30 minutes.
After the Treatment
Mild swelling, redness, or bruising at the injection sites may occur but typically resolves within a few days. Patients are advised to avoid strenuous exercise, excessive sun or heat exposure, and alcohol for the first 24 hours to allow the filler to settle properly. Most people find they can return to work or normal activities right away.
Ideal Candidates for JUVÉDERM VOLUMA™ XC
The best candidates for JUVÉDERM VOLUMA™ XC are adults age 21 and older who want to restore youthful contours without surgery. This treatment is well-suited for individuals experiencing age-related volume loss in the cheeks, hollowing in the temples, or diminished definition in the chin area. Patients should be in good overall health, have realistic expectations, and desire natural-looking results that enhance their appearance without altering their unique features.
Frequently Asked Questions About JUVÉDERM VOLUMA™ XC
Can JUVÉDERM VOLUMA™ XC be combined with other treatments?
Yes. Many patients pair VOLUMA™ XC with other fillers, Botox®, or skin rejuvenation treatments for a more comprehensive, non-surgical facial enhancement. Dr. Salter-Lewis will recommend the best combination based on your goals.
How is JUVÉDERM VOLUMA™ XC different from other fillers?
VOLUMA™ XC is uniquely designed to restore midface volume and provide lift, whereas other fillers may focus on fine lines, lips, or under-eye areas. Its advanced formulation also offers one of the longest-lasting results among dermal fillers.
Will I be able to feel the filler after it’s injected?
Most patients do not feel the filler once it has settled. In the first few days, you may notice slight firmness, but this softens as the product integrates naturally with your tissue.
What if I’m not satisfied with the results?
Hyaluronic acid fillers like VOLUMA™ XC can be adjusted or dissolved with an enzyme called hyaluronidase. This ensures flexibility and peace of mind for patients seeking subtle or reversible enhancements.
