I had Voluma injections 3 days ago in both cheeks, to give the lower part of my face a lift and to smooth nasolabial folds. I am surprised that I almost see no difference to what i looked before. I asked for subtle, but not invisible. I can see and feel some minor lumps in both cheeks. Will there be any change over time or will this be all I get? I am a 56 years old and have relatively few wrinkles because I have oily skin, but there's definitely some sagging going on. Disappointed.

Answer: For subtle results, before and after pictures are very important I am sorry to hear that you've not noticed any result. I think there are at least a couple of possible explanations.1) You have a subtle result that you are not able to appreciate. Some of us notice small details and others do not. Many patients are very happy with these "subtle" results, since they do not want to look "done," but they do want to look refreshed. 2) There is actually no change - in this case, the filler may have been incorrectly placed, or you may need more. Faces that have more heaviness require more filler to make a difference. Sometimes, either due to a conservative injector style, or patient's preference, we start with a baby step, knowing that we can build upon it.It is one of our challenging responsibilities to try to convey the result that the patient can expect whether we add one, two, or six syringes. Good photography is also usually very helpful.

Answer: Voluma results Three days is a little early to assess optimal results from Voluma. If you are still dissatisfied after two weeks you should return to your injector to review your results as well as your before and after photos. It is possible you may require additional syringes of filler to achieve the desired outcome. It is important to have realistic expectations as fillers are not a substitute for surgery. In the meantime it is advised to avoid extreme heat and cold as well as direct compression to the treated area.Best regards,
