I miss my baby face! I am almost 28 and used to have a full baby face but it is gone now. (Photos)

Question

I had half a syringe in each upper cheek a few months ago of voluma. How do I get a fuller face? I was interested in sculptra but the plastic surgeon said voluma was a better fit for me. I feel like I am still missing volume but just can't afford alot. My self esteem has taken a hit because my long-term boyfriend likes a youthful look and seems less attracted to me because my face is aging and it's extremely hurtful.

The wonderful thing about hyaluronic-acid based fillers like Voluma is that if you want to add more, you can. It’s best to be a bit conservative when first using fillers, so your injector made the right choice to take the slow approach. 
However, you are quite youthful and beautiful looking already, so be sure that you are making this change for yourself, not to win your boyfriend’s approval. Aging is inevitable; to some degree we all have to accept it. You can look beautiful and radiant and attractive at any age if you take care of your skin and help resolve the issues that most  trouble you (not someone else). Be sure to consult a board-certified dermatologist who makes you feel confident, is willing to work with you over the long term to keep your skin looking gorgeous and healthy through the coming decades, and who is an expert at rejuvenating the face with Voluma.

Both implants and fillers in the cheeks and/or chin can create good results for patients. Both can build up the face and create symmetry. You must balance the pros and cons of each procedure and do what you feel is the best decision for you.
Fillers:
Pros: No downtime Reversible Quick
Cons: Temporary More expensive in long run
Implants Pros: Permanent Great for patients with poor bone structure Less expensive overtime
Negative: Risks associated with surgery Possible infection Downtime
Hope this helps.

You still have a baby face and are very pretty. You can have some fat injection in some parts of your face and the stem cells in the fat will retain the youthful appearance for you. Voluma has the be repeated and considering your age it is going to be costly to keep getting the injections.

There are two different ways for you to restore your lost volume - you can choose a hyaluronic acid filler such as Voluma or Sculptra which will make your own collagen.  Either way it will help rejuvenate and replace the lost collagen.  Please consult an expert in facial cosmetic injections.  Best, Dr. green

Hi. You already area young and beautiful so do not worry! I think Sculptra is not the product I would pick for your face shape instead I would recommend you treat with additional Voluma in your upper cheeks. I think the Voluma will lift and contour the cheeks and give the youthful appearance you are looking for. Best of luck with your treatment!
