Although lumps and bumps are common following any injectable including Voluma, they should clear up in a couple of weeks. You need to have your lump assessed in person by your surgeon. It's not something that can be diagnosed online. So sorry that you are experiencing this.Kindly,Kouros Azar
Thank you for your question. For most patients it can take a series of hyaluronidase treatments to have complete removal of Voluma. However, you had only a little placed into cheek and a single round of hyaluronidase may be enough to dissolve your filler.
