I use a CPAP machine at night, which includes a mask with straps across my cheeks. If I get Voluma injections in my upper cheeks, will the straps on the mask affect the Voluma?
Answer: Voluma Thank you for your question. Juvederm Voluma is more viscous than the original Juvederm, so it is best that ask this question during your consultation with your board certified facial plastic surgeon. You can discuss your aesthetic desires, expectations, and recovery process in depth as well Best wishes,

Answer: CPAP and Voluma: will the straps on the mask affect my results? Thank you for sharing your excellent question. Though Voluma is a thick hyaluronic acid based filler, making migration or movement less likely, a CPAP machine can place significant pressure along your cheek region possibly affecting your results. I would review your CPAP mask and straps with your injector to determine if a work around can be achieved.

Answer: Cheek Augmentation with Fillers (Radiesse, Voluma) and a CPAP Device Using a CPAP device shouldn't negatively impact your Voluma results. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with a facial sculpting expert. Best, Dr. Emer

Answer: CPAP and Voluma Thank you for your question dfisher. I understand your concern. Voluma is a filler used to enhance the appearance of the face. CPAP is a device used to help with breathing while asleep. It is strapped on around the face and sometimes the straps overlie the areas where Voluma is injected. If such pressure is placed on the area for prolonged periods such as when asleep overnight, it may affect the product. Therefore, if possible, the straps should either be adjusted or the device avoided for the first week or so after a treatment. Please consult with a doctor for specific recommendations. Good luck!

Answer: Voluma & CRAP Great question. I would first see if it is ok for you to not wear the CRAP for about a week following your injection just to be safe. If that isn't possible then bring the mask into your surgeon so that he or she can examine the straps as well as how tight they are against your face and together you can decide if it will be a risk. Hope this helps.
