Photos of Botox around eyes and tear trough treatment with Juvederm and Voluma
I took the before and after shots in a way as to show how awful the skin is: right after waking up, looking down with gravity pulling, and with bright sunlight. I wanted to show how it's not perfect but with makeup on, it's better and a fat transfer may be the end result after this wears off... Sigh... Vanity is so expensive. :)
I can't select multiple choices for the procedure...
I can't select multiple choices for the procedure type and don't want to mislead anyone, but I had Botox, Juvaderm, and Voluma injected this past summer. The $3000 (approximate) represents two visits that included Botox, Juvaderm, and Voluma as well as a small, experimental peel on a sun spot.
I was seriously considering a fat transfer to my face and/or a peel for incredibly loose skin under my eyes and because I also have a very thin face. But then decided in a spur-of-the-moment decision to see if the Voluma would show how a fat transfer could look -- without the long downtime. I was surprised at the instant effects!!! But it still didn't address the really crepey, loose skin as much as I had hoped, so went back for second round a month later because it didn't seem like $1000 (approximate) worth of product under my eyes. At this stage, it wasn't really worth it.
The second time around we added some Juvederm to the mix because it was on special. WOW! For someone with my issues (loose skin under eyes and super thin face), the combo treatment really did wonders, plus it gives me an idea of how a fat transfer will look if I go that route in the future. Note though: It's amazingly effective, but it doesn't completely cure the issues. It plumps out the cheeks to make the skin more taut, but it's not perfect -- just wanted to make sure anyone who reads this understands that perfection isn't possible at this stage.
I've also started using Botox this past year, which is something I NEVER thought I'd do. It's funny how that all changes, though, as the skin starts to deteriorate and age sets in.
Suffice it to say: I love the combo products but it's VERY expensive, and forking over so much money isn't sustainable on my budget. Granted, Voluma is supposed to last for awhile and there wasn't any down time, but really -- who has that kind of money to spend every few years?!?!?!

Provider Review
Absolutely LOVE Dr. Thompson. He happily and graciously put up with many, many visits and questions before I settled on trusting him and getting anything done. Only drawback for the rating is that sometimes the wait can be long, but sometimes it's also really quick, hence the average grade rather than a really good one.
