54 Next Week and Need Serious Refreshing! - Reno, NV

So it's been almost two weeks since my Voluma injections and I'm really happy! It gave me a nice overall lift, volume to cheeks, under eye hollows much lessened, and marionette lines more shallow and even got a little "Jowl" lift! I am very happy with this procedure and recommend it with the caveat that you make sure the professional administering is trained and has the "eye". I may go back for a little Juvaderm around mouth/marionette lines and call it a day. I'm curious to see how long it lasts! It does change your face shape ever so slightly, so be prepared but overall I highly recommend this treatment! I've added a photo from today.

I will be 54 next week. I'm blessed with pretty good skin and genes but menopause wreaked havoc on my face (and belly, but that's a different story!!) I am getting a facelift next year and wanted something to tide me over. I made an appointment a a medical spa for juvaderm and Botox. When I arrived for my consultation, the nurse - whom I loved, recommended Voluma. She felt that I'd get a much better overall result and a more youthful appearance. She said she could inject 4 vials of juvaderm and I'd be ok with the result but the bang for the buck was the Voluma. It was more than I wanted to spend that day but I went to her, the expert so I decided to go for it! I am so glad I did! My main concern was the hollowness of my tear trough but the Viluma addressed a lot of that and the lift I got in my cheeks made such a difference!! I was shocked. Sometimes we can't see what we need, we just know we need something! She numbed my cheeks and she sectioned it off with a chalk like substance and injected one vial on each side. She also did 8 units of botoxnin my forehead and 8 units under my eyes. I wasn't a believer but I am now. My biggest fear is that I'll end up looking like one of those older women with waaaay too much fillet and Botox in their face! I want to age gracefully. I'll never be 20 or 30 or even 40 again but I can still be elegant and fight the good fight!
