How to correct Voluma side effect of dark dents in cheeks? (Photo)

Thank you for your question. Without an in-person exam or before pictures it is difficult to determine the cause. It appears you may just need more filler in the areas that appear “dented” to add more volume. I would return to your Board Certified injector for evaluation.

Thank you for sharing your question and photographs. It appears that the areas of concern are where not enough filler was placed to leave a smooth overall appearance and taper from the eyelid to the cheek region.  Though nothing replaces an in-person examination it appears that additional placement of filler would help ease the dents that you describe. 

 Thank you for your question. I agree that the denting is due to the bruising and swelling that may occur after Voluma. During your consultation with your board certified facial plastic surgeon, you should ask any and all questions that you may have. As side effects to Volume typically fade within 2-4 weeks after the procedure, I suggest that you inquire about additional medication and topical cream to assist in your healing and to reduce any discomfort you may be experiencing. Best wishes,

Without seeing your before pictures, impossible to give you any kind of accurate assessment. What you are calling dents or bruising looks like malar bags under the eyes. When you see your surgeon next week, discuss your concerns. Kindly,Kouros Azar

Hello, and thanks for your question and photos. I'm sorry you did not get the result you had hoped for. Without having "before" photos to examine, it's hard to see precisely what occurred. However, it appears as though there is a sharp transition on your cheek, below which you still have noticeable volume loss. These lines can likely be improved with more filler. I recommend following up with your plastic surgeon. Best of luck, Dr. Frucht.
