After the effect of Voluma diminish in 18 - 24 months, will my face sag more than if I never had Voluma injections ? If not then does it help create new collagen?

Answer: Voluma does not stretch the skin enough that it would cause further sagging.
Voluma is supposed to be placed deep preferably over the bone. To do this the injector must inject the needle through your muscle. Most of my patients notice it when they go to eat since the masseter chewing muscle is the one that takes the brunt of action, and typically lasts only 3-4 days.T...
Every patient reacts differently, but, in general, any post op swelling from Voluma should resolve within the first 2 weeks. So, for now, be patient and wait. If you still don't like what you see at 2 weeks post op then schedule an appointment to see your surgeon.Kindly,Kouros Azar
Hi @Kathleen6565! I would wait two weeks to allow swelling to subside. If you still notice asymmetry after two weeks, you can add more to one side. Best of luck to you, Dr. Nima!
