31 Years Old Cheek Augumentation for Youth Preservation with 2 (now 3) Doses of Voluma. UPDATE: Has not lasted long :(

$1,500
I tried Juvederm 10 months ago and loved it, but it was wearing off, so I needed to once again deal with the slight beginning of signs of aging. This time I decided to try Voluma in my cheeks because it lasts 2 years they say, and that is a better cost/ per day value . At first I got 1 syringe of it, and was delighted to literally feel and see a lift, but in a few hours I realized I would need a little more to get the nasiolabial folds to go away. I went back for the 2nd syringe the next day, and that was really the look I was hoping for!
At age 31 my face looks close to the volume I once had naturally in my early 20's. It makes me feel pretty to not have "hound dog face" any more.

Hi,
I'm referring to your 1st pic. My face became like that after Voluma on cheek bones. I mean it caused flatness to the lower cheek. It happened right away that's why I know it's Voluma.
I wanted to know how did your lower face become fuller and round? I'd probably ask my doc to inject some voluma there

Sorry to hear about your experience. Just like you I had 2 lots of Voluma and they lasted 6 months - never again! Hope you find a better solution. I might try fat transfer

4 months later, loving it but needing a little more
My original voluma still looks great, but I sleep on my right side, and it is obvious that in selfies the left side of my face looks young, while my right side looks old (I started with it this way, even with 2 syringes divided nicely for both cheeks, the right side is so much flatter)! I have made an appointment for another syringe to place it mostly in the right side. I have become very bothered by that asymmetry. I hate spending the money, but I know myself, and I am not happy if I do not feel pretty. It is worth every penny to not obsess daily about the "old looking" right side.

I have the same problem. I love my left side and sleep on my right. I have noticed that the right is also less full. I am learning to sleep on my back. I too will be scheduling another appointment for more on the right, I just don't want to over do it. I love it though. I feel like I need more in the Apple vs cheek bone. Did you get voluma in the apple of your cheek or just the cheek bone? You have fantastic results.

It is so hard to sleep on your back when you have not done it most of your life! I wish I could have better results training myself to do that, good for you for trying! :) The injector does the apples as well as cheek bone area evenly. I will post results of what happens with one more syringe. I don't want to over do it either, and I hate spending that much money for vanity sake but seriously it bothers me that one side has a flatter look.

I've had Voluma several times, it has never lasted more than 8 months. Sadly...

The younger you are , the less time it will last, as your metabolism is much higher than a woman in her mid forties. I have also heard that sweating ( do to exercise or not ) makes it go away faster .

You can see I need more voluma in the right side. My appointment is later this week.

Good for you, you look great, thank you for sharing!
