Hi RS
I started with RS back in 2013 when I had my TT I found the site to be informative and also kinship with others who were going through the same procedure. I am 47 will be 48 latter on this year and I find that my face was starting to looking tired and my nabial folds were becoming more noticeable particularly when I am tried .. oh boy do they become more visible. It just so happened a few days I received an email form a PS office that I had visited during my TT exploration of PS- this email was inviting and it was promoting several facial procedures so I made the phone call.

I arrived and the receptionist was friendly and the injector Melanie who has several designation behind her name, RN, MS, FNP-C This told me she took her education & career very seriously ! Well Ms. Melanie suggested Juvederm Voluma XC for my check area that would plump up my checks since I have lost some volume and elasticity in them, I was surprised because I went in thinking all I need was the Juvederm along the nasial folds... NOPE I was wrong.. I guess that's why she has all those alphabets behind her name...lol

Another reason I trusted her decision is that she encouraged me to go and meet with other injectors she wasn't trying to push any products on me or upsale me, but also cautioned me that the area closest to my nostril on the side should not be touched, it could have some adverse reaction or changes to the appearance of my nose , one it could enlarge my nostrils which made sense to me.

Melanie said the Voluma would be subtle changes and not Khadashian like ( sure I spelled the name wrong)

The process started with some numbing crème I was in no pain at all, I am very pleased with the results so far, I t can take up two weeks for the results also the swelling will be gone by then . I did have small light bruise on my right check but today you can hardly see it .

I will be going back to seeing Melanie in 2 weeks for a follow up - below are the before picture and the right after picture I snapped in the car as I was preparing to leave form the PS office.

I will write more as I needed , I am happy and Love my VALENTINE GIFT to myself!!!
I think my face looks refreshed- what do you think ?

Happy Valentine dear hearts **

Wow! You look amazing! I, too, have the tired look, and have been looking into Voluma. You just gave me the push I needed to just go do it!! I had juverderm around my frown lines 5 months ago, and I am happy with the results- now it's time to take care of the rest of my face!

Hi, you look great. I had 2 cc in each upper cheek over a 3 month span and 1 cc at the bottom of my chin to try to push up the frowny corners. How do you like it now that it's been a few weeks and it's starting to settle in ?

Hey RS
Just a quick stop by to say hello and to show you my six month results is still holding well . Happy I did the injection all I can say is to make sure you go to person who specializes in whatever you are seeking to improve . The pictures were taking this evening I took the first one with my blouse I wore today and then after wards decided to take second picture only after I changed to my evening lounge tank .
Best wishes

It turned out great. Can you give an update? Did you get 1 cc in each cheek or 1 syringe split between both, so 1/2 syringe in a cheek?
