How long does Voluma in the cheeks really last?

Treatments with Voluma last up to 2 years. Voluma is made of
hyaluronic acid which can also be dissolved with injections of Vitrase. Your body will also breakdown the hyaluronic dermal
filler with time. I’m sorry to hear you are unhappy with your treatment and
hope this information is helpful.

1 syringe of Voluma is not excessive and should improve with time. It lasts about a year but can be dissolved with a product called Wydase if you're unhappy with it. It may take 2-3 visits about a month apart to see the effects of Wydase. I suggest finding a physician or physician-supervised practice for this procedure.

 Sorry you are not happy with your results.  Studies have shown that voluma can last up to 2 years depending on how much is injected and where it is placed.  You should discuss your concerns with your provider. Voluma can be dissolved with hyaluronidase.Using hyaluronidase will not "ruin" your face. Once the product is dissolved it will appear as if you never had the injection.

The longevity of Voluma is going to vary from patient to patient. However, since you only had 1 vial, I don't think that your results will last longer than a year. If you really hate it, you could have the Voluma dissolved. Or you could wait it out. Your call.Kindly,Kouros Azar

I’m sorry to hear you are unhappy with your Voluma results. Voluma longevity varies, but with one syringe it should not last longer than a year. If you are that unhappy, it may be better for you to dissolve the filler with hyaluronidase. Hyaluronidase works well and should not “ruin” your cheeks if done by an experienced, board-certified dermatologist.

Hi Jenny, I'm sorry to hear that you are not happy with your results. In the clinical studies (using 5-6 syringes of product) the Voluma lasted 2 years. One syringe of Voluma will not last the full 2 years (maybe 1 year at the most). It is possible to inject hyaluronidase to dissolve the product. It can take a few injections to fully get rid of the Voluma. Please make sure to have this done by an experienced injector. Take care.

Dear Jenny,The manufacturer's claim that Voluma can last up to 2 years. That was based on a study where patients received on average 5 syringes, so if you only received one syringe you may see a shorter longevity. If you are unhappy with the appearance you can certainly have the areas injected with Vitrase that will dissolve the product very quickly. You might need more than one injection, and you might experience some bruising or swelling, but you can see a change by the next day or so. If photos were taken before your injection was done I would recommend returning for follow-ups so you can look at the before and after photos with your injector. While they may or may not agree with your impression, they will certainly learn something. We all want patients to be happy.

I'm sorry that you are unhappy with your treatment.  Voluma lasts approximately two years, with the effect gradually fading over that time.  If you wish to do so, there is a chemical that can be injected that will dissolve the product.
