One more syringe of Voluma 2 weeks after the first syringe
So I had one more syringe injected for a total of 2 syringes (2cc total). It was very pricey but if it really lasts 2 years it's worth it. I have been getting comments that I don't look so "drawn" and cheeks look fuller but no one knows my "secret". ;) I am happy with the results and recommend Voluma.

I have been doing Bikram yoga for 18 months not and recently stopped eating all wheat products. I only lost about 5-7 pounds, but the first place everyone commented on my weight loss was my face. My facial appearance has been bothering me for a while and I saw an ad in a magazine for Voluma a few months ago. I had a a few appointments booked but kept chickening out and I finally did it yesterday. The doctor said she starts out with just 1 vial 0.5 ml in each cheek) and sees me in 2 weeks to see if I need more. The injections hurt but it wasn't all too bad. The doctor injected me and quickly masaged my cheeks in an upward motion. I was given an ice pack. What worries me is that I wasn't even given a mirror to see what I looked like after the injections. I am not sure about the results so far. Yesterday immediately after the procedure my cheekbones looked very pronounced making my face look even more thin and drawn. When the lidocaine wore off, my face was very, very sore. I couldn't talk or smile. I had a terrible headache too. I tried to sleep on my back last night but I am not sure if I did or not. This morning my cheeks look uneven and are still sore, but only when I smile. I take Tylenol and the pain subsides. My husband hasn't noticed anything or asked anything. When I was doing my make-up this morning I actually forgot I had the Voluma done. I hope I see more results somehow in the next few days and didn't just throw away $1,000. :(
Provider Review
Dr. Deborah Petrowsky
She spent a few minutes with me during my consultation - asked me what I was unhappy with and discussed my options. She seemed very skilled when performing the injections but didn't even give me a mirror to show me or discuss the results (which are supposed to be immediate with Voluma).
