I am 52 years old. I was using juvederm fillers for the past 5 years which lasted about 6 months. Then I paid $1800 for voluma, and that was gone in a few months, so I decided to try Radiesse since you get more volume of filler for your money. I paid $1363.00 for 3 vials- 4.5 cc. The results looked really good, but only lasted 3 months. The older I get it seems that you have to get more filler and none of them last. If you are very wealthy and can afford to pay for more filler every 3 months then you can look younger, but otherwise we are just making a doctors and companies very rich without really attaining a younger look.

i would look into bellafill permanent filler as the PMMA microspheres in bellafill are not absorbed by the body. bellafill was just approved by the FDA for 5 year correction of the nasolabial folds and has a good safety profile. my plastic surgeon recommended it for me as i too absorb fillers quickly. i wish you the best of luck! *these statements and recommendations are not medical advice as i am not a doctor....
