I had my cheeks injected yesterday afternoon. It looks very pointy, uneven and like a giant harsh raised line. I had 1.5 syringes in each cheek. I'm not sure if this is normal and will settle down or if it was just too much filler injected poorly. I'm feeling dyshoric and I don't want to be seen in public like this.
Answer: Dermal Fillers Hi @pumpkinspicex! I recommend waiting two week for the filler to settle in. If you are still unhappy with the results after two weeks, you can dissolve the filler with Hylenex. Best of luck to you, Dr. Nima!

Answer: Voluma Thank you for your question. Considering you received the treatment yesterday, it is important to note that the minor common side effects do include tenderness, mild swelling and bruising. Please remain patient as minor side effects tend to fade within 2-4 weeks. Always consult with a board certified facial plastic surgeon.

Answer: Juvederm Voluma in cheeks looks like ant hills I would advise you to start a gentle massage to smooth the bumpy areas for 2-3 weeks.The most efficient massage is on the steamed skin, it would be easier to mold the filler to achieve the desired look. In the future , you would probably need more fillers or dissolving the filler to restore symmetry and proportions.

Answer: HELP! Voluma in cheeks looks like ant hills. Is this normal? Thank you for sharing your question and photographs and I am sorry that your current results have not been what you anticipated. What comes across most in your photograph is that your injector placed the filler into different areas between your right and left cheek, with one side much higher along the cheekbone than the other. I would recommend voicing your concerns with your injector, consider gentle massage, and allow your results to mature over 2-4 weeks. This will "soften" much of your "sharp" look. At that time determine if additional filler placement can be performed to even both sides further or if dissolving the filler is needed. Hope this helps.

Answer: Does my Voluma look normal? I would tend to agree with the other comments in that you were probably injected by a depot technique but that a little too much product was injected in one area giving you the appearance of a lump. Many top injectors have gone to placing smaller depots and other techniques to try and smooth this out and avoid the drastic result that you currently have. I would follow up with your injector and express your concerns. This can generally be smoothed very easily or dissolved if necessary.I hope that helps!
