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 and Pain There can be some pain or a feeling of tightness after Voluma injections or any facial injections. If you are concerned you should return to your treating physician for examination. A small amount of extra strength tylenol usually helps this uncomfortable sensation. Best, Dr. Green

Answer: Yes, that is normal Voluma is supposed to be placed deep preferably over the bone. To do this the injector must inject the needle through your muscle. Most of my patients notice it when they go to eat since the masseter chewing muscle is the one that takes the brunt of action, and typically lasts only 3-4 days.This pain should go away very soon. You should talk to your provider about this.
