Hi, I am planning to get my cheeks done with Voluma (2 cc). Is it okay to drink alcohol after the procedure? Or do you have to wait 24 hours? Does it swell up around the mouth as well or does it look relatively normal afterwards?

Answer: Alcohol consumption after Voluma? Voluma is a great product for cheeks. As long as you just want to have a modest amount of alcohol post injection, there should be no issues.

Answer: Alcohol and Voluma This is a great question. There are varying opinions and instructions from physician to physician regarding alcohol, laying flat, activity, etc. after Botox and injectable fillers such as Voluma. To be honest, the vast majority of this advice has no scientific literature to back it up. Sure alcohol may cause fluid retention, vasodilation or any number of effects on the body; however, I have never restricted my patients' alcohol consumption before or after the treatment and have not experienced any adverse events. You may bruise after the treatment as you might with any treatment involving injections into the cheek; however, the incidence of bruising in my practice after injections of Voluma is less than 5% and those that bruise would likely have bruised regardless of alcohol consumption. I hope you enjoy your treatment.Cody Koch
