I'm having a delayed reaction of non-painful nodules, redness & bumps @ injection sites, & swelling in all places I had HA fillers (Vo) injected and some places I had Botox injected. Vollure and Botox: 6/29/18 (but had prev injections back to 7/2017) 1st nodule: 9/10/18 but escalated fast to nodules all over my face. 2 rounds of Pred. 100mg Minocycline injection of Hylenex Is there anyone in the NYC area that is experienced/has treated this type of delayed reaction with success? Thank you!

Answer: I am so sorry this happened to you. Thank you for your question! I am so sorry this happened to you. I agree with the other doctors that you need to dissolve every bit of filler, which can be a little tricky because even the "highly cross-linked" like vollure and volbella fillers do spread a little after injected. When this type of late inflammation occurs, it can be frustrating to treat. All of the filler must be dissolved and it is common to take antibiotics for a while, 2-4 weeks is not unheard of. Best of luck!

Answer: Inflammatory Rection to Vollure Nodules after Voluma, Volbella and Vollure have been reported. These reactions have been reported months after injection and sometimes have been associated with recent dental work. Some people have felt that they are related to the development of a biofilm in the area of injection. They generally are best treated with a course of antibiotics such as doxycycline or minocycline. They generally take 6-8 weeks to resolve. Dissolving this type of hyaluronic acid can be challenging. I would suggest following up with a trusted provider and continuing your course of antibiotics for 6-8 weeks.
