5 days ago, i had voluma upper cheek, low temple area. i was swollen and bruised at the injection site. two days later my eye swelled up on the side where i was swollen (i did nothing to my eyes). if i put ice for a few minutes the swelling goes away, but then hours later it returns albeit not as bad. it also makes the eye darker when it swells. what is going on? i

Answer: Swelling After Voluma Injections to the Cheek Swelling and bruising after Voluma injections are relatively normal and could last over one week. Voluma is a highly cross linked hyaluronic acid gel filler for cheek and midface rejuvenation. Voluma is placed in at a deeper level than other volumetric fillers like Juvederm. It is more form stable and less foregiving, but also longer lasting than other fillers. Swelling can be intermittent, especially when combined with bruising. Ice packs applied to the area of injection for the first 2 days can help limit swelling and bruising. Intermittent swelling should resolve over the first week.

Answer: Swelling after voluma Injections of Voluma in to the cheek area should not cause swelling of the eye but you also mentioned low temple area. In this area the tissue is thinner so the injections are made less deep. any swelling located here can definitely go towards the eye. Im reassured that with icing it gets better so hopefully this will settle down. The good news is the Voluma is reversible so your doctor could melt it if your problem continues. Good luck.
