What Is Restylane® Contour™?

Restylane® Contour™ (known as Restylane VoLyme in Europe) is the newest FDA-approved cheek filler, receiving approval on June 29, 2021. Using XpresHAn Technology™, it provides flexible volume for cheek augmentation and mid-face contour correction. Unlike traditional cheek fillers that create rigid, artificial-looking volume, Contour preserves natural facial dynamics: your cheeks move naturally when you smile, laugh, or express emotion.

At Dr. Avaliani’s practice, every Contour treatment is performed with artistic precision using cannula technique for smoother delivery and minimal bruising. Accuvein technology visualizes blood vessels during injection to virtually eliminate bruising. Contour contains built-in lidocaine for injection comfort, and clinical studies show patients need fewer syringes (approximately 4.26 mL vs 4.88 mL) compared to similar products for optimal results.

How Restylane® Contour™ Works

Contour treatment follows a precise, volume-restoration protocol:

  • Dr. Avaliani evaluates your cheek structure, mid-face volume loss, and facial dynamics to design a natural enhancement plan
  • Contour’s flexible XpresHAn gel is precisely injected using cannula technique with Accuvein guidance into the mid-face
  • The flexible gel integrates naturally into the cheek tissue, providing lift and contour while maintaining natural facial movement
  • Your cheeks move naturally with every expression, smiling, laughing, and talking look completely natural, not stiff or overfilled
  • Results are visible immediately and last up to 12 months, with 98% patient satisfaction at one-year follow-up

Concerns We Treat with Contour™

  • Cheek Volume Loss

    Age-related volume depletion in the cheeks that causes a sunken, hollow appearance. Contour’s flexible gel restores youthful fullness while moving naturally with your expressions, the hallmark of XpresHAn Technology.

  • Flat Mid-Face

    Loss of mid-face projection that creates a flat, aged facial profile. Contour adds natural-looking projection and dimension to the mid-face, restoring the youthful convexity that defines attractive cheek contours.

  • Under-Eye Hollows

    Tear troughs and hollowing beneath the eyes caused by cheek volume descent. By restoring volume to the cheeks, Contour provides structural support that can improve the appearance of under-eye hollows and dark circles.

  • Nasolabial Folds

    Deep lines running from the nose to the mouth caused by cheek volume loss. By restoring cheek structure above the fold, Contour lifts the tissue and softens nasolabial folds from their origin point for a natural improvement.

  • Facial Asymmetry

    Natural cheek asymmetry or volume differences that become more pronounced with age. Contour’s flexible gel allows precise, customized augmentation to balance both sides of the face for a more symmetrical, harmonious appearance.

  • Comprehensive Enhancement

    Full-face rejuvenation combining Contour for cheeks with Defyne for deep folds, Refyne for moderate lines, Kysse for lips, and Silk for fine lines. Dr. Avaliani designs multi-product protocols for comprehensive, natural-looking results.
