I'm 72 and got a small amount of Voluma in my upper lip by a highly respected plastic surgeon two weeks ago. He has done excellent work on my fact this past year. After the filler my smile is a bit distorted. He said this will improve after the Voluma has had time to soften, but may take a few months. Have you ever heard of this?

Answer: Lip filler Voluma distorted Hello Mandy, I am so sorry to hear you are dealing with this. Yes a little asymmetry can happen after lip injections but usually settles down after the swelling calms down within a couple weeks. Not months That being said, Voluma is quite a robust filler for lips as it is very dense. If you have not done so already I would recommend going back to your plastic surgeon so he can see the results in person. If needed Voluma can be dissolved although it will take a higher dose and may take a few treatments. Take care, Nyeree Hazelton, RN BSN. Cosmetic Nurse Injector.

Answer: Voluma in lips Thanks for your question. I am surprised your injector chose Voluma for the lip. It is one of the more robust or "firm" hyaluronic acid fillers and is not as forgiving as the other Juvederm and Restylane products in the lips. Voluma usually is placed deep into the cheeks and sometimes into the marionette lines for deep support. You might need to have it dissolved with hyaluronidase if you feel the lips look very irregular or if your friends all think you had something "done" and it is causing you to regret the procedure. Voluma lasts a very, very long time and can be quite noticeable if placed too superficially. Best of luck!
