Almost a month
I must say I am very pleased with my results. I had a three week check last week to see if anything additional needed done. We decided that I was fine and since he had used Voluma XC I should b good for up to 2 years. I will go in at one year unless I need something more before then. When I told the PS that I had very little swelling and only one very small bruise by the eye I am not sure he believed me. I did purchase SkinMedica TNS Essential serum. It was not cheap but since they had a special I walked out with three. Simply said, I absolutely love the results.

Beautiful results thanks for sharing your story!

Thx. I am very happy with the results. I do hope it lasts one to two years. If it does it will b well worth it.

Further to our previous conversation: I've had my consult and will be going forward with Voluma 1cc/side, Botox (mostly aimed at the area between the eyebrows), and 1cc of Juvederm to fill superficial wrinkles. Like you, I have already had some surgical work done (8 years ago), which did the job and has held up remarkably well, but the toll of the years has been loss of volume.
The doc I saw spent a lot of time with me, and answered a lot of pointed questions about how long I could expect the products to stay in place. His observation (confirmed by photos not available on the Juvederm website) is that each succeeding treatment seems to last longer than the one before.

He definitely restored your volume in a very natural looking way. I'm currently sitting on the fence about injectables. I had a mini lift 8 years ago, which is still holding up but, at age 62, I'm clearly losing volume in my face. I had some Juvederm injected last summer, but I am a horseback rider, and I pretty much shook them right off after a couple of months! Now I'm investigating Supercharged fat grafting, as a more permanent solution.

I tried a small fat grafting several years ago and some of the fat migrated leaving a lump between chin and lip. If I consider fat grafting I will have Dr. Burgmeire do it, he is an artist.

Makes sense to me. The "supercharged" (stem cell enhanced) fat is supposed to be more reliable. Given that my activity level would have me needing to re-do juvederm every 6 months, I think I need to go this route. I have an appointment for a consult with Peter Schmid next month. This guy really is an artist ... A sculptor, to be specific. http://theaestheticsurgeon.com/artist

Consult went well and very happy with results. I am 60+ and loading volume and this was just what I needed. It is not cheap, the $2500 was estimate. At this point I have $3100 involved. Hope it lasts for a year and it will be well worth it.

You look so pretty. Great results for sure.

CMaiden...so are you saying it would cost 3k per yr to keep up the level of fillers you now have? 15,000 every 5 yrs! When you went for your first face lift consult 2 yrs ago did you know from the beginning that it this level of maintenance would be necessary for you to be happy with results? Perhaps a face lift technique ( high SMAS or deep plane) that lifts the mid face would be worth looking into. I thought you photos seemed like you had a fairly full face~ just tissue descent that comes with age. No?

What can I say. I am in a position that I can make those decisions without a terrible strain. I made my decision as an informed consumer and stand by it.
