I had 1 vial of voluma--split between both facial cheeks and eye areas, and one perlayne split between both marionette areas 5 weeks ago and already the sunkeness around my eyes is returning--voluma should last at least a year--any suggestions as to why this happened? Does this mean I'm not a good candidate for any hyaluronic acid products? My injections performed by a very experienced plastic surgeon--little bruising, redness or after discomfort; immediate happy results. )-: thank you!

Answer: Voluma Lost? The amount of filler you have had is not large and might not be enough to achieve the results you want. It's difficult to give you an exact answer because so much depends on your age, the condition of your skin before treatment, etc.My feeling is that you probably need more filler. The average voluma treatment I use is two syringes for midface correction alone. Sometimes, patients need even more to obtain the results they envision.I would guess that you just need a bit more to be happy. Talk to your plastic surgeon about this.

Answer: Voluma is gone...? One syringe of Voluma may simply not have been enough for the area you wanted to fill or the amount of volume that you needed to add for best results. In many cases I use 2-3 syringes of Voluma, and may add one then more a few weeks apart so I can see how much volume I can get from one. But remember from the actual Voluma trial (where you see most of the before/after photos from) many of those people had up to 6 syringes of filler. People often don't have a good idea of how much volume is actually in a syringe or how far it will go. Small lines are easier to fill with less syringes than areas where you are trying to create actual volume. A 1cc syringe of Voluma has less than a teaspoon of material - it's just not a lot if you're trying to create a lot of volume in the central face split between two sides..... "This
