A week ago I had Juvederm Voluma injected in each cheek - 2 syringes each. After a few days they look rather deflated and not as good as they did intiially. I was told I would notice this after a week or 2 and may be disappointed for a short time, but then after a couple of weeks the product would be gradually promoting collagen production and it would look better after a little time. I haven't been able to find any other comments relating to this - can someone clarify/support this claim?

Answer: Voluma Injections Voluma can definitely cause some initial swelling post injection and as the swelling subsides over the next week or so, the result can seem less dramatic. Voluma has not been shown to promote significant collagen production. Voluma is supposed to last about 2 years. If you feel that you need more filler or you have questions about the type of filler used and what your other options are based on your needs, definitely contact your injector.

Answer: Voluma Results Great question! Voluma results are immediate but are often exaggerated by post-injection swelling. It’s important to understand that when you leave the doctors office after being injected, you are swollen. Often times this swelling is easy to mistake as the results of the Voluma injection. Taking into consideration that you were injected one week ago, the timing lines up for your swelling to have just subsided, which would create the illusion of the results looking “deflated”. Voluma is a hyaluronic acid and does not have the same collagen building properties as other products like Sculptra. The results of Voluma have been shown to last for up to 2 years, but if you have any concerns I would recommend contacting your injecting physician so that they can follow up with you.
