WORTH IT$1,300
Hi everyone, here are some photos before and after. The before was taken July 2014, and the after was taken March 2015. Please note that although I first had my cheeks and mouth filled in early September, I have a visit again in October for corrections, and in early December for another correction and slight fill as well (both cheeks ONLY). So the "after" photos are within 4 months later.

Correction update
AngeliqueNoireOctober 10, 2014
I went again to see Dominic, and he corrected the halloness by inserting a bit of filler. He said that we couldn't see the gaps before due to the swelling covering it up and because there is no structure supporting from below, I ended up with the halloness just below the filler in the central cheek area. Here are a few photos, jsut after the procedure and a few hours later as well as the day after. I'd really like to know what you think, so please post your comments!

looks great! any before pics? 1 vial in each cheek? just got mine today, bruising and swelling right now.
October 10, 2014
my bruising is under my eyes but can't see your eyes in pics. no bruising on my lips yet.
October 11, 2014
I did not have any bruising under my eyes at all. The only bruising was on the cheek, and on the mouth. The bruising on the mouth was a little blue black dot just under my cupid's bow on the left. I'll also see if I have some pics xx

from what i know voluma has only been on the market for about a year with most doctors only getting it the last 6 months so i don't think anyone really knows for sure how long this will last. 2 years is what the company said they found thru their testing.

I think it looks great. I am considering fillers for nasal labial folds. Well, I have been considering it for over a year now, I am so terrified, read so many not-so-good reviews, but I also don't like that I am getting the lines and my face is so skinny and narrow. Thank you for your update! let us know how you are doing.
November 4, 2014
Thanks. Not sure how visible your lines are. But, for me, the doctor put the fillers right near the corners of the nose and he didn't go down to the corners of the mouth, he said this is a more natural look and it won't make me look strange. Anyway, find a doctor with good reviews and go for it. The fillers work, but the dissapointing part for some is that they don't last long. Some would go for a mid face lift which is long lasting and it's an option I consider for the future. Good luck!

My doc is recommending Voluma over radiesse and said it's supposed to last longer. What filler did he use to correct? Did he charge for correction?
November 11, 2014
No. Radiesse lasts longer for up to three years, and you can research. Please research well before visiting anyone. He used the same filler to correct and without charge, of course.

10 month for $1,300 !!! and after 10 month you got nothing to show for. $1300 wasted.
I am surprise with the hallowness and marks that you are still happy with the filler.
Have you look at the hallowness from a distance ??
September 24, 2014
I had two procedures which costed 800£ approximately 1300$. At the beginning, the hallowness did not show. The more the swelling subsided, the more it showed. UK prices vary for fillers. Usually cheek augmentation costs no less than 500£, and lips from 200£.
September 24, 2014
you should go back to your doctor about the hallowness and the marks and see if you can get the correction for free
October 10, 2014
How's it look now? Has it evened out? Marks gone?
April 19, 2015
It's looking great now.
I am a little confused. Do I presume "hallowness" was a typo for hollowness? I see it repeated by several people so I'm wondering is it a technical term I've missed the memo on?
April 21, 2015
I think it's just a US way of saying hollowness, it jars a little for us doesn't it?

I'm getting to at age where new words are popping up all the time and old words no longer have the same meaning!
