WORTH IT$1,500
I heard about the new dermal filler product that's part of the Juvederm family of HA fillers just as last year's dose of Juvederm was wearing off. I am fit and healthy, but you can't fight gravity and I don't feel ready for a face lift (for many, many reasons). Stillwater Plastic Surgery - that's Dr. Capizzi - is my go to for anti-aging treatments and ideas. I had two syringes of Voluma injected this past Monday. So far, I love it! And, I think I'm going to love it for about two years, because that's how long the plumping is supposed to last. Tammy Ryan did the injections. She's Dr. Capizzi's nurse - fabulous. I felt very little pain - of course, she started me off with this lidocane (sp??) salve to numb the injection areas. That was helpful, but really, I would have "endured" fifteen minutes or so of a few pricks to get rid of my jowls! Tammy studied my face carefully. She is very thoughtful - I like that. The injections follow the line of my cheekbone. So more volume and plumpness in my cheekbones "lifts" the lax skin under my cheeks (AKA jowls). So, it's just a few days later right now. No bruising and just a little bit of tenderness. I love it that Stillwater followed up with me the day after the treatment to see how I was doing. A nice touch. Voluma is not inexpensive, but for me it's totally worth it, especially considering how long it lasts.

After Voluma
I actually think I look better than this picture (whew, you're probably thinking). Definitely added volume in my cheeks. Smoother contour. I'm happy.

This is a great review. The price is great also and I wish I could have taken this with me yesterday as I left my Plastic S. with no Voluma. I was so excited, now disappointed as they insisted it comes packaged and that they prefer to give four syringes, I was like no. I only want two, he said he would do that for 1700 but it would not have an effect on the area of lower jawline. I am in my fifties and have a tear that has caused some wrinkles near the cheek. He said I have high cheek bones and he didn't want me to waste me money. Also I was quite disappointed with the assistant who said she would not give the numbing cream like with juvederm b/c Voluma doesn't hurt. An evening appt. with them is out of the question for me . And to think that I would pay 3500 for Voluma package is just wrong, what do you suggest?
