Had Voluma and Juverderm in cheeks one side looks bigger, fuller and higher than the other.

Janewheels1Nov 23, 2014
Voluma and Juverderm was injected in and around my cheeks to help lift my jowls 2 weeks ago. Swelling went down after about 4-5 days and jowls have dropped a bit, but my right cheek now looks and feels odd. It feels like it's pushed up under my eye, looks too full, different from the other side and has changed the shape of my eye. My right eye looks smaller now and it just doesn't look like me. However the left side looks great (less filler) Can I get this reversed in that area only? Skin test?

Dear Mazey,It may be the technique rather than the type of filler, so I would suggest trying a different injector. If your lip volume is dissipating too rapidly, it may be because the gel is being injected in a deep plane.  The technique I use to inject lips is different than the...

Thank you for your question. Swelling is a common side effect of lip injections and can take 2 weeks to fully resolve. If you have concerns schedule a follow up with your injector to have these issues assessed. All the best,

Thank you for your question. It is very common for the lips to look over corrected or fake the next day. I often tell my patients that this is the "oh my gosh" day. This is due to all the swelling that ensues. It may last a few days with every day showing a decrease in swelling. The more...

It sounds like you probably have developed a hematoma in the cheek.  This is bleeding below the surface of the skin and can cause the things you describe.  You should visit with your doctor to have this evaluated.  If it is indeed a hematoma, it can typically be treated easily.  Best regards.
