I'm worried a Voluma injection got into my sinuses. Is that possible?

Asked By:cmlindsey in Bellingham, WA

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?
