Juvederm Plumped my Sagging Cheeks Nicely - Tucson, AZ

WORTH IT$500
Was going on vacation and finally decided to try some filler and Botox (posted pics with that one just now). She numbed it first with a cream and it didin't "hurt" but did feel a little strange. I loved it (still do)! I think there was a tiny bit of swelling, which I also loved. Would love more, but it's too expensive for temporary. This experience sent me looking for more permanent rejuvenation solutions here... I will probably get a facelift and fat transfer withing the next six months. I think doing this (filler and botox) kind of gave me hope that I could be attractive again? I have pretty much avoided the mirror for a long time until I had this done. I don't really have pics showing the difference, and it's not much, I think it's only 1 cc per syringe (I only had one) so half in each upper cheek. Like I said, if funds were unlimited I would prob get a lot more. I wanted more as soon as I could see the difference it made. Haha

You look so refreshed! Beautiful too! I had juvederm to the cheeks as I went to the my favorite Med spa (radiance med spa in Pasadena). I wanted to just have some Juvéderm to my upper and lower lip and my nurse pointed out that I had these depression on both sides of my cheeks she used half This syringe to fill in the depression. The results were amazing with so little product I wish I had done this sooner and it will help until I can get another faceliftlift.

Marionette and lips before and after Restylane
Sorry about pic quality, still figuring out how to post them. Had 1 syringe (.1 cc?) of Restylane between lips AND marionette lines (from mouth to jawline). Lips were mainly the upper border and some in the middle "meaty" part of the lower lip. Lips look SO much better! It wa a very small amount and I have significant droop and volume loss from lips to chin, still I was pretty impressed. I am scheduled for a facelift etc including fat transfer in early Dec and fat will be put in these areas. One thing this taught me is that it's pretty costly to get the amount that I really need to replace all the volume lost (and fallen lol).

If I thought for a second I'd get results as good as yours I'd be in there this afternoon. You look ten years younger, refreshed, very pretty!

I think you look Stunning! 1 syringe is like 1.0ml Nothing. Well for me because i absorb it so fast. :?
I usually do 1 on each nasolabial but it does cost$1,224. :/
Even with he amount you did it looks like you used more than 1. PERFECT! :)
Congrats and CHEERS to you!
Another option is Juvederm Voluma which is suppose to last two years. Cheaper than a facelift and longer lasting than traditional Juvederm. Sounds like you've already decided to invest in a facelift but I thought you should know about it just in case you aren't totally sure.
Let us know what you end up doing! Have you found a facelift doctor yet?
