1 week after having Voluma in my cheeks my left cheek is fuller then my right, is this normal? Will it settle?

Hi there! I’m Lauren, the aesthetic injector here at Colorado Plastic Surgery Center. Filler can take up to two weeks to fully settle. If you're still noticing unevenness after that time, I’d recommend following up with your provider for a consultation so they can take a look.

Most people have asymmetrical face and body which is considered normal. Patients do not notice this asymmetry on a daily basis but they start noticing it after the filler procedure. It is very essential that the physician/injector spends time evaluating your baseline anatomy with and with out  facial expressions. Taking photographs in various angles and explaining the baseline asymmetry is crucial. Sometimes it may not be possible to correct the asymmetry even with injectables. I would advice you to wait for few wks, till the swelling subsides and have a look at your before and after photos with your injector, then decide whether you need more or dissolve the filler.Best WishesDr. Shanthala

Thank you for sharing your question and I am sorry that your current results have caused you concern.  In the first 2 weeks after treatment swelling can cause some temporary asymmetries between sides of the face and it is important to give enough time for this to resolve before moving to treatment.  I would try reducing the swelling by elevating your head at night with a couple of extra pillows behind your back and by using Arnica Montana and bromelain as supplements.  If after two weeks the results are still not what was expected, have your injector dissolve the material.  Hope this helps.
