However, I have a bad experience with rhinoplasty that left me traumatized ! what the possible effects of voluma or fillers., does it cause nerve damage ? irritation ? facial swelling? blindness if it got injected wrong around the eyes ?

Answer: Voluma and Dermal Fillers are Generally Safe So sorry for your traumatic experience with rhinoplasty! Juvederm Voluma, Restylane Lyft and other hyaluronic-acid based dermal fillers tend to be extremely safe, with very little downtime or side effects. If you are unhappy with the results, they can be dissolved with hyaluronidase. Because Voluma is an injection-based therapy, it is very likely that you will have some soreness, bruising, swelling and redness directly after therapy. These effects should subside within a day or two. As with any procedure, if performed improperly there could be some more damaging results, such as asymmetry and nerve damage. However, these can be avoided by seeking a board-certified dermatologist with expertise in injection techniques. Other more serious side effects are exceedingly rare. Please speak with a board-certified dermatologist so you can have your concerns addressed in more depth.

Answer: Getting all the facts The potential risks and complications of Voluma are the same as those for other fillers. The most common of these are swelling, bruising, and unsatisfactory cosmetic result. There are more severe complications that are extremely rare. I recommend seeing an expert in facial fillers to allay your fears and get the best results. Best, Dr. Emer
