prodedure was not as bad as previous with Belotero , used ice right after and through the day/night
but by second day had hot red cheeks. though I had infection still iced
went back to doc and he assured me was all ok... by third day, feeling much better
now 5 dys after, convinced it was a waste of money

I think you will be happy with the results in a week or so. I also just got voluma in the cheek area (too high on cheek bone) and your result looks much better than mine. You have a nice full look and I think the redness will go away soon. The thing I question is what do these wonderful Doctors mean when they say, 'go to a Board Certified Doctor or Plastic Surgeon'. I did that but the surgeon doesn't do the injections, the Nurse does this. Do they mean someone trained by a Plastic Surgeon? The cost is very expensive being seen by the nurse...can only imagine what the Doctor would need to charge for his time. Ouch As far as having it removed by another Doctor and re-injected which is what I will probably do will even cost so much more. I guess the answer is these products and procedures are not for those that may worry about the expense, though we seem to be the ones reaching forward to achieve our best. It's disappointing because I am going for the surgery as soon as I recover from another surgery needed after an accident to my leg. I just wanted a pick me up but would have waited if I have been told that I would not see much improvement. I received 2 voluma to cheeks 2 juvederm to sides of mouth and botox in eye area. I guess I need more voluma to cheeks but based on this being injected too high-I'm not sure about trusting it. The botox is good. Hope you are better now. Thanks.

If the second photo is after Voluma then it looks like it did work, I say yes.

Just curious, how are your results looking now. i had voluma done about 2 months ago at our office in Columbus and really like the results. I had one syringe on each side.

Why do you think it was a waste of money?

Very expensive and just not sure of final result

I got Radiesse in cheeks and after swelling went down from the injections themselves, I saw no difference. Juvadetm in crease between liwe lip and chin and saw no difference. For me a big waste. Wonder if doc didn't use enough filler. Also thought both were expensive.

Looking better 2 weeks out

Some improvement is now noticeable , went back to doc who compared some before and after photos I may need to add some more filler to complete process
Not convinced if price is really worth the slight improvement I can see in appearance.

I agree. Don't think difference is worth the money!

I wanted to add that I was making that comment based on my own experience. Had 3 syringes and I can't see much difference. I think about other things I could have spent $3,000 on!
