Broken capillaries after Voluma, will they go away if filler is dissolved? Is this a sign of reaction to the filler?

Question

I have had a number of issues with my Voluma injections most of which have subsided except now I have broken capillaries on my cheek where the injections were done. I had perfect skin before this. I would like to know if the product is dissolved will these go away eventually? Are these a sign of reaction to the filler? Should I remove it? Laser is not an option as I have a face full of freckles I love and do not want to lose.

Thank you for your question. The injection of fillers can result in broken capillaries in the cheeks. I suggest that you remain patient with your recovery. You will find enviably fuller cheeks at the end of your short recovery. Your capillaries should heal as well. Please keep your board certified facial plastic surgeon aware of your recovery process.Best wishes,

Thank you for sharing your question.  Without a photograph it is difficult to offer definite advice as Voluma injections do not result in broken capillaries, unless you are referring to a small bruise, which will resolve in time.  If you are referring to spider veins, some accidental trauma can cause these and these can be treated with lasers and will not affect your freckles.  Hope this helps.

Thank you for your question. Without a photo it is difficult to give you advice. However, Voluma injections do not cause broken capillaries. I believe what you are experiencing is a bruise, which will take time to resolve. I recommend having this evaluated by your treated physician.

If you have broken blood vessels from the injections this should resolve on its own.  You can always have the V-Beam laser to the area which will treat the blood vessels but keep your freckles.  Best, Dr. Green
