People said I look OK, but I hate it!! My natural face is gone. I regret doing it. Im 33 yo male. Got voluma injected into upper cheek, just below tear trough and into midface, 2ml each cheek. Lots of doctors here say voluma lasts for 2 years, as a generic answer. I would like to know about a study which claims 2yrs. I read it lasts a lot longer!!! :( What is your real life experience with natural absorbtion? I'm afraid ruining myself with Hyaluronidase further, which barely works on voluma.
Answer: Voluma in my cheeks 4 days ago. I hate it. Help! How long will it last? Thank you for sharing your question and I am sorry that your results have not been what you anticipated. Voluma will not last a full two years, but will diminish slowly over that time. I would strongly recommend allowing a full 2-3 weeks to pass before deciding on the next steps as Voluma takes time to soften and appear/feel more natural. If still objectionable at that time, then pursue dissolving of the product which takes higher doses and more treatment sessions that other fillers. Best wishes.

Answer: Need to come in to consult For unique cases where a variety of modalities could be used to treat the condition, I would suggest an in-person or virtual consultation to develop a custom and effective treatment plan. It is difficult to precisely define the best option without collecting the same information. I suggest reaching out to an expert for a consultation with surgical and non-surgical methods to get a comprehensive option. Best, Dr. Emer.

Answer: Unhappy after Voluma I am sorry to hear you are unhappy with your Voluma treatment. Keep in mind it takes about two weeks for the full results to become evident, so I encourage you to wait until that time to make a decision. You may find that once swelling goes down and the filler settles, the results are much better than you originally thought. If you are still unhappy with your appearance at that point, I would likely recommend dissolving the filler with hyaluronidase. Voluma can last up to two years, but my patients usually see improvement for 12-18 months.

Answer: Unhappy with Voluma Thank you for your question! I'm sorry you are unhappy with your filler results. I would, however, recommend waiting a full 2 weeks after your injection for the swelling to subside completely before you decide to do anything about fixing it. Voluma can last up to 2 years but some patients report it lasting a little longer than a year. The longevity depends on the patient. We wish you the best!

Answer: Duration of Voluma Results Thanks for your question and I am sorry you are unhappy with your results. I would encourage you to give the filler a full two weeks to allow for swelling to subside and the filler to settle. If you are unhappy with the result at that point, you can have some or all the filler dissolved with hyaluronidase. Hyaluronidase is effective on Voluma when administered by an experienced injector. The two-year duration is an estimate - many patients require a touch-up sooner than that. Make sure you are working with a board-certified dermatologist and injectable expert to ensure the best possible results.

Answer: Voluma Thank you for your question. I am sorry to hear that you are not happy with your filler. The product can last up to two years. It will gradually start to breakdown within that timeframe. Hyaluronidase can be used to breakdown the filler as well.
