Answer: Would taking steroid affect Voluma results? Steroids are not likely to affect the Voluma. Steroids can lead to immunosuppression. Perhaps, you should consult with a doctor about your concerns. Best wishes, Dr. Aldo

Answer: Steroids and Voluma Thank you for your question. It's difficult to make exact recommendations without assessing you in-person. Generally speaking, steroids should not affect the results or longevity of your Voluma treatment. That said, if you have an infection in your cheek, it is possible that your Voluma itself has become colonized with bacteria. If that is the case, the filler may need to be dissolved with hyaluronidase to fully treat the infection. I would recommend following-up with a cosmetic dermatologist or plastic surgeon with extensive experience in treating filler complications. I hope you feel better soon!
