Volbella for Lip Creases
ORIGINAL POST
The fat transfer in my original 11/2/17 full face...
WORTH IT$400
The fat transfer in my original 11/2/17 full face PS menu as well as the fat transfer added during my brow lift revision 18 days ago didn't quite live up to my expectations so I had Volbella today for deep lip creases. She also added Botox between and along eyebrows to remedy crunching. I will update as results hold.

I see you also had Botox. I had that today also. How did that turn out for you?
May 11, 2017
It was in my brows to keep them from scrunching down. I can still raise them. I like it.

I had the 11's. not sure yet has only been 24 hours. Not sure when I'll see for sure. New at this lol. I had the Volbella, Voluma and botox
May 11, 2017
Where was Voluma injected? I had fat injections in 11's twice! I think Botox has worked best so far.
May 11, 2017
I had the Voluma in my cheeks. 3 different sites an each side. I only had 1. Syringe so far. He's conservative to start which I like. My face is thin so I may go back in 3 Weeks and get another. He told me to get used to it and come back in if I'd like to do more. I can see the difference. It's very subtle. Not sure if I asked you this yet but when did your Botox take full effect?
May 11, 2017
Ok great. And you feel it worked well?My 11s are awful lol. Hoping for some help :)

I had fat transfer to 11's during original surgery and in first brow lift revision. It helped a bit but Botox made a bigger difference. Janet did an amazing job injecting. I can't crunch my eyebrows down but I can lift them up! Down side is I'll probably need to do it every 3 or 4 months. I feel it will be worth it.

I am considering Volbella & appreciate your post. Thank You!

I'll continue to update. Note that I was just looking to decrease the really deep "smokers lines" and was not looking for fuller lips. I will go back later if I want to add fullness. So far, 2 days out, I'm impressed! I should have given more background on myself in this review. Unless you followed my other review, you might not know I'm 65, had pretty much the full face menu PS 11/2/16 with Brow Lift and fat transfer revisions on 3/23/17. Volbella was suggested from the beginning as my PS doesn't suggest fat transfer to lips, just around the mouth. It was $400 for one full vial. Janet is a pro!

Exactly all I am looking for too. Thank You for responding.
I am 64 and never smoked, but it looks as though I did. Planning to do this when I get my Tax Refund.

YAY! I still have faint lines but so much better than the deep crevasses before Volbella!! I really hope it lasts a year as promoted.

Looks really good. Did it hurt? How long should last?
April 13, 2017
The average is about one year...more or less. I like that because even though I felt the topical anesthetic was very effective, it stung pretty good. And $400 a year isn't bad. This was my first ever filler appointment so hopefully I won't be so stressed next time. I mentioned going in that I was more anxious about this appointment than I was for the surgeries! I got a little faint after it was all over. Maybe I should think about a Valium before the next time! I'm 3 days out and I haven't seen any Botox results in the eyebrows yet. Might be another week before I see it.

Hi Mickie,
I've been avoiding fillers because it's such a slippery (and expensive!) slope. I think the results of the Volbella are fabulous. I'm really interested to follow you to see how long it lasts. $400 for a year is reasonable. Sorry you were so nervous and hope you're doing great! :)

You look great! Thank you for sharing:) I have my first ever filler appointment
May 11 ~ Hoping to have a good result also.
May 11, 2017
Thank you so much!
I just left my appointment. Everything went well. Had Botox and Sculptra. Was told I will need two more Sculptra visits (all 6 weeks apart) before my full result will be realized. Trying to be patient, but it looks like this will be a process.

Sculptra was injected in my temples, cheeks,
Jaw line and deep lines on either side of my mouth. I'm a little bruised and sore even though I took bruise guard tablets prior.

Suppose to last 2 years,... after 3 treatments. Actually regenerates your own collagen so it takes weeks to see results.
May 11, 2017
Not sure if you still check comments but here goes . Did you have one syringe ? Also did they change in the first week or were the results immediate?
May 11, 2017
Yes...1 full syringe. Results were immediate and I'm still happy. The creases are very slight compared to the original.
May 11, 2017
I just had mine today. Will they improve or is this the final result. Wasn't sure what to expect. Thank you for your time
May 11, 2017
Mine stayed pretty much the same after injection. I have a friend that said she felt like Marge Simpson for a few days. I'm hoping for the one year estimate.

I had this done yesterday, but the area around my lips are full of little bruises. My husband thinks that I look like a chimney sweep. Oh well, I hope I get the same great results you've had once the swelling and bruises go away.
September 13, 2017
Would love to see a review and photos from you! How much did you get injected? I'm 5 months out from original injection and still happy with the smoothing of "smokers" lines. I'm thinking of adding some Volbella for a little added fullness at 6 months when I go in for forehead Botox. I'll talk it over with Janet and decide then. I hope you're happy!
Just teasing.
The Volbella looks good! I have "crunching" in my eyebrows, too. But they seem to be sleep creases from pressing my face into my pillow for all these years. I'll need Volbella for them, as well as my massive lip lines.
