4 months since Voluma was injected into my chin and now one side is swelling?

August 30, 2016
Asked By:hairer in England, AR

Early May I had 3ml Voluma injection. The immediate result was that my chin looked slightly slanted (the left side of my chin was a bit more lumpy) but to most people it wasn't recognizable. After a few days the problem went away. Now 4 months later, as of yesterday, left side of chin has become swolen and looks exactly like it did a few hours postinjection. Why has this happened? For months it was fine, no pain + had an even chin, now my left side is slightly swollen.
