I had Voluma in cheeks over a 1.5 months which for some reason is still causing swelling in the malar area worse in the morning and better in the evenings. I have had several rounds of hyurolonidase but still have the problem. Has any doctor actually seen this in any patient and can the voluma really all be dissolved or am I wasting my time?
