I hte last 3 years i have had 12 syringes of voluma and it does not last 6 months this talk of up to two years is BS. and also sculptra lasts longer but you need 3 to 4 treatments of 1000 each; so aging is expensive in a patriarchal world also had radiesse under eye in July of 2012 and the scar tissure requires surgical removal, on top of three fraxels and three thermages

It is unfortunate that you were unhappy with the results of the fillers you had three years ago. Radiesse always lasted me 12 months or longer but everyone is different and will have different reactions to different products/procedures. I hope that you have found a plastic surgeon over the last three years that you are happy with.

Radiesse should never be used under the eyes. That is what Dr. Kovak--Oakbrook Terrace-has told me, and I agree. Sculptra does last a long time, and only 2 syringes a year are needed to maintain the results. Voluma, in my opinion and experience, inflates the face an unnatural amount as can Radiesse if a whole syringe is used in the checks. I know I have been there. I have heard positives and negatives about this doctor. I heard that he is really pricey and his work is ok. Not great. I have not seen any pictures of his patients on realself that they have posted. A couple of reviews were written but no pictures. Suspicious.

You state it is "suspicious" that this doctor's patients choose privacy over having their photos on the internet, yet you comment on a review - without photos - that is referring to procedure(s) from 3 years ago with no mention of a facelift procedure except in the heading. I would not think to comment about a doctor, pricing, etc. unless I can state so by actual experience which apparently you cannot because "you have heard".

Why did you need all these fillers if you had a good facelift? Please explain. I can see the need for Botox but the others?
