When I first had the injection (over a year ago) my left cheek bruised & swelled up terribly. I ended having to take steroids and that worked. But now when I get a cold, the same cheek swells up. It's happened 3 times. I have it right now and am being treating for a sinus infection with anti-biotics. I never had sinus infections before Voluma. I'm worried the Voluma got into my sinuses. Is that possible? Any suggestions?

Answer: Voluma Results and Happiness; Complications?
It is totally common to have swelling after any kind of filler and swelling in one area can certainly distort the look of another area. This should subside in the next few weeks. If it does not or if it gets worse then contact your surgeon.Kindly,Kouros Azar
Voluma, when placed properly, won't make your face rounder. It will make your cheekbones more chiseled by filling in the "sunken" area in the mid-face. Whether or not this is the right course of action for your individual face is not something that can be determined without an in person exam....
