I had Voluma injected into my cheeks about 5 days ago, and the past few days my cheek muscles have felt tense. Almost as if I've been smiling for a very long period. The pain really only happens toward the end of the day. I'm assuming this a normal during the healing process?

Answer: Voluma Pain After Injections

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!
I don't think that the Voluma is the cause of your blocked ears. My guess is that it's just unlucky timing. Try taking a decongestant and see if that helps clear up your blockage. Kindly,Kouros Azar
