I have recently had Voluma injections in my cheeks followed one week later with a Nova Threadlift. The Voluma injections left lumps that have not gone down after 4 weeks. The swelling from the Threadlift is almost gone after 3 weeks. My doctor wants to use hyaluronidase to dissolve the Voluma. Will hyaluronidase adversely affect the threads?

You present with one of the most common postop complications following the Silhouette InstaLift - exposed cone! Only directed small incision and removal of the cone can correct this. I charge $500 under local anesthesia. Or return to the original doctor for removal.
