I have had my cheeks injected with voluma twice since April of this year. The second time in early July, a different Doctor I went to, was surprised that I had had anything done in April at all. She suggested that I could be metabolizing the product very fast because of one of the medications I am on (Vyvanse). The volume is disappearing again. Is this a general problem with fillers? And if I have a fat transfer, will I have the same problem?

Thank you for you question, It is not normal to feel tightness to your smile after injections. Swelling is common after injections and can last approx. 2 weeks. After this time period if you are still experiencing this tightness schedule a follow up with your injector to discuss. Best.
