Has anybody used Juvederm Voluma XC in conjunction with subsequent subcision treatments?

A physician with whom I consulted suggested that course of treatment (Voluma first, then subcision a few weeks later), but I am concerned that the effects will not be long-lasting because injectingthe filler first will reduce visibility of the scar no compress tethering, which could inhibit the success of the subcision butminimize longer term improvement.

I am probably overthinking this andI trust thisDr, but hisresponse was that the Voluma would be used as a volumizer for the cheeksubstantially below the tethered region of the scar, then subcision would attack the tether.

Anyone have a thought on the efficacy of this?

@NeoFightI would not treat first with Voluma and then subcise. I would say I would like to subcise first as this is what I can afford and then do filler at another time. The only time I would do filler first is if you have majorly fat deficientcheeks they must fill that are not part of the tethering pits.

Just tell him you will consider fill but would like to do sub..., subcision first then fill when the swelling goes down ... a few days to a week after.

I don't agree with that approach at all. He's got it backwards. The Voluma will be displaced by the subcision, and would definitely make it harder to do a proper subcision because of lack of visibility of scars (like you said). I would do subcision first, give a week or two for the swelling to settle, and then do filler.
