Eyes look more sunken after Voluma. Any suggestions? (photos)

It is not uncommon to have facial hollowness in one area when another area is filled with fillers. We advise patients to undergo Belotero for the lower eyelids and tear trough after Voluma injections. Best, Dr. Karamanoukian Santa Monica 

I see this all the time in my practice and it is because people use the filler to lift the cheekbones when they really need it to lift the fat pad in the middle face and to treat the tear trough.  You need more filler to the trough and medial cheek to balance what over correction was done in the lateral face.  I suggest seeing a filler expert and one who uses cannulas for injections.  Best, Dr. Emer.

You have actually gotten a pretty good result for having just 1 syringe of Voluma spread between both cheeks. Sometimes when the volume in one area is improved, we start noticing the deficiencies in other areas more. Give it 2 weeks and see how you feel. If you are still not happy with your sunken eyes I think the better solution would be to add some Belotero just underneath your eyes rather than dissolve the Voluma. Best of luck to you!

Hi N,Not to worry.  I agree with your physician.  Wait a few weeks for the Voluma to settle.  You can always have a little Restylane placed in the lower eye lid hollow if need be.  I would not dissolve the Voluma, you do look better already.  Happy Birthday!  Good luck and be well.Michael A.

This can be quite common after volume augmentation for the cheeks.  A combination of lower eyelid/tear trough filler (restylane) may be advise once swelling has come down.  Additionally, a detailed discussion with your physician on your goals would be advised as well!
