I got one syringe of voluma in my chin about 7 hours ago and am noticing more pain that what I usually feel with fillers. Also when I was being injected it felt like maybe a nerve was hit that bothered one of my lower teeth. Wondering if my discomfort could be caused from the larger amount of filler in one area and/or hitting a nerve bothering my lower teeth (they still feel a little tingly) wondering if that is normal as well. I went to an experienced injector. Thank you
Answer: Painful Voluma Injection Unexpected pain after a filler injection should always be evaluated. In your case, I don't see any signs for concern based on the photographs provided. Most pain following filler is explained by minor needle trauma resulting in bruising, bleeding or inflammation. Most pain is felt as a soreness that increases with pressure or movement. Sometimes deeper injections above the cheek bone or chin can irritate the periosteum of the bone or a small adjacent nerve branch. Injections close to the bone can sometimes be more uncomfortable immediately afterwards. I think this might be what you have experienced.

Answer: Pain after Filler (Restylane, Juvederm, Voluma) for Chin Augmentation Some pain and tenderness can be typical after injections. If it persists, I would follow up with your injector. You may also have swelling, which can be asymmetrical, and last 1-2 weeks after filler injections. If you're unhappy with your final results, you can have it reversed with hyaluronidase and try a different technique next time. See an expert. Best, Dr. Emer

Answer: Pain after injections Thank you for your question. Depending, this can be completely normal - the chin is a very enclosed space typically, and 1 cc of Voluma (a relatively thick filler) is a good amount to place in this small space. While some discomfort and soreness is to be expected (and likely more than you have experienced in other areas), the safest thing to do is to contact your injector. From your photos everything looks fine, but it's better to have reassurance or advice from the person who actually performed your procedure. Best of luck!

Answer: Chin Augmentation, Filler Thank you for your question. Fillers can cause discomfort in areas depending on the amount of injections and if it was placed in the correct locations and also any trauma to vessels. The main thing is that if you are experiencing pain or sensations that is very different from prior experiences, especially if a larger volume was used, its best to call your injector immediately and be evaluated for any possible complications. Good Luck! - T.Khan MD.
