Hard Cheek, Aches and Swelling 6 Weeks After Voluma- Should I Be Worried?

I am still experiencing a reaction to voluma, 6 weeks after treatment, in 1 cheek; the other cheek is perfect however! Most days there is mild swelling, hardness, itchiness and the cheek aches, also 2 small lumps at injection site. Symptoms can dissipate for a couple of days, but then return! Is this normal?! At what point should i consider removing the product?. Why am i still getting side effects 6 weeks after? Doctor reassures me to be patient and all will be ok but im losing faith! Help!

Cheek aches and swelling after Juvederm Voluma

I suggest that you have this checked again, perhaps have a second opinion. Your skin should feel soft and you should not have any pain, itch, tenderness, etc.

Does it really hurt ? I had voluma injected in my cheeks and they kept itching for at least one week, specially in the morning, it was quite weird, but not pain. Then it all went for good

Go and get a second opinion from a doctor with experience in Voluma injections. First ask how many they have done. Sounds very abnormal. May wish to "dissolve/absorb" it using an enzyme to specifically breakdown the hyaluronic acid.
