ladders5
I had two syringes of Voluma - one in each cheek a year ago and a few months ago boticed it was wearing off. I was pleased with the effect as he used a canula. I went to a different doctor this time around and she used a needle to inject. but About 5 days after the swelling went down my cheeks seemed to go back to normal. Is this common? How does Voluma spread beneath the skin needle bs canula? Which is better for apples of cheek volume loss? How many syringes do i need - confused
