am 31 old and i lost small amount of volume and i need a slightly cheeks lift..with minimum injections as possible as my skin is great. 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 ? Please I want to be informed with every tiny possible effect that would happen temporary or permanent.
Answer: Possible Side Effects Of Filler Injections Thank you for sharing your question and I think it is great that you are educating yourself before your treatment. The main side effects of dermal fillers are swelling, bruising, and tenderness after injections. Although extraordinarily rare, there have been reports of blindness and stroke after injection of fillers into blood vessels in the glabella and nose. Other adverse reactions include infection, tissue necrosis, lumps, or allergic reaction. In the hands of an experienced injector, these risks are greatly reduced. In my practice, I like to use the microcannula technique to inject filler, which essentially eliminates the risk of bruising and reduces the risk of swelling and pain by using only one insertion point in each treatment area. I strongly recommend consulting with a board-certified specialist who has experience injecting filler with the microcannula technique for best results.

Answer: Filler Side Effects Thank you for your question. fillers like Voluma and other hyaluronic acid fillers are a great way to add volume to the face and even out deep wrinkles. I am sorry to hear about your experience, however filler injections are great and safe if done by a board certified plastic surgeon. If any side effects, the most common are bruising and swelling, which is normal. Best of luck!Dhaval M. Patel Double Board Certified Plastic Surgeon Hoffman Estates Barrington Oakbrook Chicago

Answer: Voluma Thank you for your question. Fillers are a very safe non-surgical procedure, especially because there are options to dissolve some fillers. Additionally, most fillers are temporary. For Voluma, side effects may include redness, bruising, mild swelling, tenderness, lumps, discoloration and itching. These side effects typically subside within 2-4 weeks. Always consult with a board certified facial plastic surgeon.

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.

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
