Hi, I had voluma in my cheeks, and now have a 1.5cm diameter lump under my eye (about 1/5cm below, on my cheek) its hard and feels tender. I had the injections 6 days ago and its not gone down. I'm really worried. It was by a trusted aesthetician i've been to before but never for fillers. I'm really worried it’s a granuloma and i'm scared. The clinic is now shut until mid-Sept. Should I be worried or is this normal? The others injection sites are fine, its just this one that is like this.
Answer: Voluma Thank you for your question. While each patient heals from surgical and non-surgical procedures differently, the side effects you are experiencing from Voluma seem to be common and tend to subside shortly after the injections. Please discuss with your board certified facial plastic surgeon.

Answer: Lump under eye after fillers, granuloma? Thank you for sharing your question and I am sorry to hear of your difficulties after filler placement. It is difficult to offer advice without a full series of photogrographs but most fillers take up to 2 weeks to soften and the tissues to appear more natural. In the meantime try reducing any remaining swelling by using cold compresses, elevating your head at night with a couple of extra pillows behind your back, and Arnica Montana and bromelain as supplements. Hang in there! If after 2-3 weeks you are still not seeing improvement, have your injector dissolve the filler with hyaluronidase. Best wishes.

Answer: Lump under eye after fillers, granuloma? I'm sorry for your concern. You should not worry about granuloma as you cannot get one in just five days. You need to go see your injector today or tomorrow if your lump is really that big. Best wishes, Dr. ALDO

Answer: Lumps after filler injection Without photos and a full examination, it is difficult to know exactly what is going on. Six days after an injection, however, is still fairly early and the most likely possibilities have to do with swelling or bruising in the area from the injection. Generally a granuloma would not form so soon after an injection.
