I had 1 syringe of voluma injected into cheeks to create lift and appearance of larger cheek bones. Unfortunately they injected incorrectly resulting in fat face as well as dart like projections every time I smile. I have been back 4 times for hylaronaise injections to dissolve product and the voluma has not budged. The rest of my face now looks deflated but the voluma has not dissolved at all. I even asked for the lot number. Why isn't the voluma dissolving ? Please help!

Answer: Hyaluronidase not working? If they were not skilled in placement of the Voluma, they might not be doing the hyaluronidase correctly. I use Hylenex which is slightly more expensive than the other commercially available products but it is recombinant human enzyme. It they are getting from a compounding pharmacy, I've seen articles state that the strength of these is significantly less. Time to seek another opinion I think. Also, they might not be injecting enough units.

Answer: Dissolving Voluma Hello, and thanks for your question. It is possible that you are not having enough hyaluronidase injected to dissolve the Voluma. You should be having around 100 units injected to dissolve the product, possibly more, depending on how much was used. Best of luck, Dr. Frucht.
