Day 4 post Voluma injection - swelling gone

I really, really like it! Touch up tomorrow. I have what feels like a little pocket to be filled on my right cheek, but I'm not sure if it's just because I have a beauty mark high on that cheek. If this lasts as long as they say, I could not possibly be more satisfied.

You look great! I had the same dent in my cheek fixed last week with Voluma.

Thanks, sugar! My friends keep saying they can't tell a difference, but I think they need their eyes checked.

Ha! Me too! I'm so relieved now that it's gone. Hopefully, this stuff lasts a couple of years. I've had 11 Voluma injections because I lost 50 pounds and my face just deflated!

You have had 11 ml! That's considerable amount

Those are nice results! I hope your swelling would have subsided by now!

Really filled eye/cheek indentation...is the injector a chiropractor?

Yes she is! But she also does the fillers/Botox, facials, etc as part of her Med Spa. She does really great work.

What filler did you do and where was it put. You look amazing. Your injector did a great job. Btw what dr does your fillers? Thanks

Thank you! I did Voluma this time because my schedule is pretty hectic and this lasts much longer. It does cost $100 more per syringe at my doctor and I needed 2 syringes. My injector is Dr. Janiz Minshew-Shurr who is fantastic. She's at Spring Valley and the Tollway.
She injected at the top of my cheekbones, the apples of my cheeks and along my nasolabial folds. I hope that was helpful!

Do you need to massage it like you do if you get sculptors?

No massaging required :). I'm not sure what sculptors are, but once it's in there, it's pretty much set by the time you leave the office.

Switching to Voluma

a_new_meAugust 28, 2015
I'm down another 13 pounds as of this morning which puts my weight loss at 203 pounds! Wow!! I think I lost most of it in my FACE! Lol.

Due to time constraints from my crazy job and some unrelated health issues, my Botox and Radiesse have just about run out. I've been using the Loreal Volume Filler products which really do plump up my nasolabial folds a tiny bit, but I'm ready to be re-plumped. Perhaps a tiny bit more than before. Here I am this morning - HAWT!!. I'll post another after I'm done and again in a couple days.

Why did you switch fro Radiesse to Voluma?
a_new_me
December 2, 2015
I was looking for more bang for my buck. The Voluma lasts a lot longer and seemed to provide more lift to pull out those nasolabial folds. I'm still happy with it. I do still use the Loreal Volume Filler products in conjunction to smooth things out a bit more.
