Y'day I had Voluma injected with a Canula into my cheeks to enhance the cheek bones and create a lift. Apart from the fact that the area is extremely sore, and warm to the touch/feel, the result is quite uneven and "bumpy" you can clearly see where the filler ends without smooth transition. I want to know whether this is normal for the filler to be bumpy at first (perhaps it's self levelling, or there might be some scar tissue created because of the cannulae used?) How long b4 it improves? Tnx

Answer: Voluma Uneven and Bumpy: Will it Improve? Thank you for your question. You are early in your post procedure course. Usually the patient sees the start of the neuromodulators, (Botox Dysport, Xeomin), working at day 4. The fillers usually see some result early, but some modulation continues. In our office we have patients come back at 2 weeks for their check on their neuromodulator or filler. At that point, most of the swelling is usually down, and we have an idea of the result. This may be delayed if the patient has a bruise. Often, asymmetry can be improved. Please make sure your well trained, experienced injector knows your current status.Jeffrey J.

Answer: Voluma in the cheeks Voluma injections in the cheeks may have some mild tenderness and swelling for a few days after injections, but usually this is minimal. The product does tend to smooth out and even out somewhat over time, but significant asymmetries are unusual unless they are due to injection technique. Also, if the area is tender and warm, there is a concern for potential infection, although this would be uncommon after only one day. Specific concerns should be addresses with your injector, and as always, using an expert injector who is fellowship-trained and board-certified is recommended.
