I’m 44 years old. I’m on a budget, I have to save for fillers. Which would be the best to invest in? Voluma? Restylane?(photos)

Question

and even though I manage to stay current with Botox, Since I can only afford one syringe, and maybe a half, of filler right now, what areas do you think I would take care of first? I wanted to use Sculptra, but it might be another 6 mos. before I can afford a second vial. I was thinking under my eyes with restyline, and Voluma for my cheek? Will one vial of Voluma do anything for my cheek?. I had two syringes in my temples and nasolabial folds before.

Thank you for sharing your question and photograph.  I am always in favor of first selecting fillers that can have multiple benefits to your facial appearance and as a result would recommend Voluma.  Placed into the cheek it will not only add lift and fullness but also lend support to the lower eye, improve the smile lines, possible early jowling, and help slim the lower face.  Hope this helps.

When you see an experienced injector, they will give you a good estimate of how many syringes you will need to achieve your goal. You can then consider starting with one syringe and adding as you can afford over time. Do not seek the "lowest price" to get it done. Instead, find an experienced injector and save for the right procedure for you and your desired outcome.

You can improve the overall look of your face with Voluma, but it may take more than one vial. Filling in lost volume and building up the cheek area will lift the skin under your eyes a bit, to lessen the look of dark circles. Your NLF will also get smoother. Be sure to consult a board-certified dermatologist who is an  expert at liquid facial rejuvenation for the best results.

These fillers (belotero, volbella, restylane silk) are good for under the eye. These fillers (Voluma, Radiesse, Bellafill) and Sculptra are good for the cheeks. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with a cosmetic dermatologist. Best, Dr. Emer

Thanks for your question. I would first recommend you treat with Voluma as this will lift and define the cheeks and create a more awake appearance. One syringe of Voluma will be helpful but for best results I would recommend two syringes. Once the cheeks are restored then consider under eye filler. Best of luck with your treatments!
