J. Jason Wendel, MD, FACS · Answer

Thank you for your question about Voluma.  Do you have before and after pictures.Not everyone is a good candidate for Voluma.It is a very expensive product for the physician to purchase from the manufacturer.To be sure, see two or more licensed and board-certified providers in your area for a complete evaluation to make sure you are a good candidate and that it is safe for you to have these treatments.I hope this helps.

We often advise patients to use fillers judiciously. There is nothing wrong with underfilling and seeing if you like a filler before undergoing multiple syringe injections. Best, Dr. Karamanoukian Los Angeles

It is important to remember that filler and any volume restoration of the face can be costly. Here at Stillwater Plastic Surgery our price for Voluma is $875 for one syringe and $1600 for 2. Each practice has a different price point based on location and demand for the product. More importantly Voluma is more expensive than other dermal fillers because it is known to last longer. Up to 2 years versus up to 1 years in other fillers. Additionally, the cost of Voluma is based on the number of syringes purchased. If you are unhappy with your results I recommend discussing this matter with your injector or the plastic surgeon. I hope this answers your question.

I am sorry to hear that you did not achieve satisfactory results after your Voluma injections.  It is important to be on the same page as your physician when it comes to understanding and setting of expectations.  I would suggest meeting with your physician to determine why you're not satisfied and what your treatment options are at this point.

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

The price of fillers is not based onthe cost of the materials (although voluma costs the physician much more than the other fillers), but is more based on who is doing the injecting and their techiques and experience.  I suggest seeing an expert.  It also lasts much longer than other fillers -- 2 years vs 9-12 months on average.  Best, Dr. Emer.
