Voluma should not move after it settles. Voluma is a thick, tacky product that acts like scaffolding to lift the cheek. Once placed, it can be immediately molded but after that, doesn't move much.

Hi Emmafr,

Thank you for your question. You are a good candidate for lip augmentation. There are several fillers on the market that can achieve a natural appearance. Juvederm is a great option for lip augmentation. The outcomes we see are injector dependent, thus I recommend seeking out a board certified dermatologist or plastic surgeon for your treatment. Finally, swelling after lip injection is very common, so you should expect several days of downtime after the treatment. Take care!

Hi Cathy M, It is common to use multiple syringes of Voluma for cheek augmentation. The amount of Voluma needed depends on the amount of volume loss you have in the cheeks. I'm not able to comment on your particular needs without photos. Take care!

Bruising and swelling are a common complication with lip augmentation, but the lumps in your photo are more than what we expect to see.  The filler can take 6-8 months to dissipate. I recommend returning to see your physician injector now. Some of the product may need to be dissolved.

Hi Lips1, thank you for your question. It is difficult to tell without photos, but it sounds like you might have too much product in your lips. In the future, you may benefit from using a thinner product such Restylane Silk. Take care!
