Will Voluma injections be compressed by sleeping on the side of the face?

I agree with Dr. Weber. Even though Voluma is not that moldable after injection, experience has shown me that it can still be compressed somewhat with pressure for the first few days.  I thus ask all my Voluma patients to not sleep on their side for two to  three days so as not to compress the results and the youthful contours that we so carefully achieved. By having 2-3 pillows, that helps prevent swelling but also makes it easier to stay on one's back and not turn to one's side.Hope this is useful, Dr. Anna PetropoulosFacial Plastic SurgeonBoston's North Shore

So the answer is a qualified "no". However, we know that if you sleep consistently on one side, over a lifetime,  you may see a deeper nasolabial fold (on the preferred sleeping side). Therefore, try sleeping on both the right and left side to balance out the facial aging process.

It is possible to mold the voluma after initial injection, but only for short periods of time. try to sleep on your back the first night, and then beyond that you should be fine.

After injection there is a short period of time that Voluma can be molded, even that is a very slight amount. Doubt that you can reshape Voluma by sleeping on it after the first night. It is relatively thick and is meant to be injected deep in the tissues.

This is very unlikely to happen after Voluma injections. The product is slightly moldable during the first 2-3 days after injection and then becomes well integrated. Even during that early period it is difficult to move the product around to any appreciable degree. Best.Stephen Weber MD, FACSDenver Facial Plastic Surgeon
