I have Juvederm Volbella injections in my cheeks for 3 years now and roughly 5 visits for it during that period. I find that I have swelled up a few times randomly months after the injections; however, right now I am more swollen than ever on one side of my upper cheek. I recently switched injectors and had more injected just into the centre of my cheek area & do not appear to have swelling there. Is it possible I can not get Juvederm or HA filler injections ever again? Am I allergic?
Answer: Nodules or delayed inflammatory reactions after treatment with the Juvederm products Voluma, Volbella and Vollure have been repo Thank you for your question! Nodules or delayed inflammatory reactions after treatment with the Juvederm products Voluma, Volbella and Vollure have been reported. These reactions have been reported weeks to 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 considering a course of antibiotics for 6-8 weeks. Best of luck!
