$1,375.00 To Look Worse
I received Voluma from Dr. Persky just before the Lockdown. If I can't say anything nice, I generally prefer not to write a review... but since I rely very heavily on Yelp reviews when choosing where to go, I decided to take the plunge.
I sought out Dr.Persky for some Juvederm Filler because of his good reviews. I had lost weight which took a toll on my face. I had two areas of concern; my hollow temples and a fatty area under my eye.
Dr.Persky and his staff tried to up-sell me on Sculptra (It is expensive, irreversible, and I have not liked what it has done to the faces I have seen it in, so I refused that product). Dr. Persky declined to do my temples unless I agreed to Sculptra. I told him I was on a budget ($1,200.00) and asked him to give me the most bang for my buck to give my face a little help. He insisted on using Voluma (more expensive than Juvederm) for my cheeks.
I was horrified when I got home. He had injected high and lateral, making my face look even more gaunt. There were obvious lumps, like little horns on the side of my face. I called to voice my concerns and Dr. Persky told me to come in first thing the next morning.
The next morning, Dr. Persky shamed me for being on a budget and blamed my financial restrictions on the less than perfect aesthetic. In his quiet, gentle voice, he snapped at me for touching my face when I was showing him the lumps I wasn't happy with. He showed me my before and after photos. The horn on the side of my face masked the fatty bit under the eye on the profile shot, but on the front of the face, my before photo was decidedly more flattering. He said the only way he could fix my gaunt appearance was to inject Sculptra. When I said that I would prefer Juvederm as I had enjoyed good results with that in the past, he told me I was welcome to go elsewhere because he wouldn't use it. Finally, as I left, he said I should wait 2-3 weeks for the swelling to go down. The photos I am including were taken after 3 weeks. $1,375.00 to look worse than I did before the treatment.
