I got 2 syringes of voluma injected to my receding chin about a month ago, i loved the result during the first 2 week, but on the third week i started noticing that my chin went back to how it was before.. And now a month later i can barely see a change from how i looked before voluma. What's the explanation to this?
Answer: Voluma Disappearing After a Month? Voluma Should Last About 2 Years I'm sorry you are having such a frustrating time. I am not sure why you would be getting this kind of result. Voluma should last from 18 months to 2 years. Some people have a faster metabolism, and so it might not last quite as long in those cases, but I have never heard of it dissolving after just a month. Do you have photos right after your procedure that you can compare to photos of yourself now? It is possible that the augmentation you noticed directly after the procedure was due to swelling, which has now subsided, and that what you are realizing now is that you did not receive enough Voluma to create the kind of difference you were hoping for. Sometimes going back to look at before and afters can really help provide perspective. Consulting your board-certified dermatologist and bringing photos of yourself before and directly after your Voluma treatment should help you understand what is going on and why you are dissatisfied. You may need more Voluma or you may need to find a different dermatologist to help you get the results you want.

Answer: Voluma gone after a month It would be extremely unlikely for Voluma to disappear within a month. Many patients will get up to 2 years of improvement. While some patients will break down fillers much more quickly than others, I have not seen a patient break down Voluma within a month.

Answer: Voluma Thank you for your question. Please post before and after photos here that include prior to the procedure, during the first 2 weeks, and the time period now where you do not like the results. Voluma is intended to last 2 years. Please discuss with your injector or board certified facial plastic surgeon.

Answer: Is it possible for Voluma to disappear after a month? Thank you for sharing your question. All other things being equal it would be very unusual to have Voluma disappear within a month. I would check with your injector to ensure what filler was placed. Hope this helps.

Answer: Is it possible for voluma to disappear after a month? I'm sorry to hear the Voluma feels gone in your case. I suggest you discuss this issue with your injector and compare the before injection photos with the after injection photos. Perhaps with swelling resolving you're feeling like you're back to normal, but there's still improvement. Best wishes, Dr. ALDO :)
