I had Juvederm Voluma in my cheeks today and I'm worried by the results. The area of my cheek that was sunken and I thought would be treated was the mid/side area, but the Voluma was put in the top of the cheeks, on the side (so I still have a 'hollow' appearance when I turn to the side, one side looks worse than other). Where the Juvederm has been injected it is very hard and looks like two big bumps. Is it likely to subside or stay this way? Please help - panicking slightly!

Unless you squeeze the Juvederm out, you probably are not hurting the product but you definitely are not helping your skin's appearance. You might want to seek professional help for the nervous habit since it can result in scarring.
I have never heard of Juvederm causing anything like you describe here. There could be other causes besides the Juvederm. Such as a neurological condition or Bells Palsy. I recommend you have a neurologist or internist evaluate you and do some tests.
Hi there!
Thank you for your query. I would always recommend waiting 48 hours before flying to ensure you aren’t travelling in the unlikely event you encounter any immediate problems post treatment.
Hope this helps!
