Since voluma is so expensive and only lasts two years if you are lucky, wouldn't it be better to have a face lift for $10,000 and get 10 years improvement at least instead of spending approximately $2,000 every two years for a filler. Which is better - a face lift that gives a good result for 10 years or getting 2 vials of voluma every two years. I know a face lift in Albuquerque with a neck lift costs approximately $10,000. I've checked on this. So please your honest opinion, which is better.

Answer: Voluma vs Facelift Discuss your facial aging with a board certified surgeon who performs both injections and facelift procedures. Often cost is a very important (but not singular) factor in deciding between the two options. A facelift will certainly last longer; however, a narrow or thin face may benefit from Voluma instead.

Answer: Voluma vs facelift? You're really treating two separate issues with Voluma vs a facelift. Voluma, in my opinion, is perfect for people in their late 30's through early to mid 50's and perhaps even early 60's if they are looking to add volume to the mid-face in the cheek area to restore the youthful "apple cheek" appearance. However, for people who have skin laxity in their neck, perhaps with banding and jowling along the jawline, Voluma is no replacement for a facelift and will not provide any of the effects of a facelift which would include tightening of the neck and jawline as well as potentially more fullness along the cheekbones if fat injections (or alternatively Voluma) is added. Without knowing your age or having pictures, it is difficult to make recommendations for you, but I hope this answers your question. An in-person consultation with a board certified plastic or facial plastic surgeon with experience in both Voluma injection and facelifting will give you your best answer. Best of luck!
