I had 1 cc of voluma injected into my cheeks in a 3-point manner on Friday. I find that even though its 6 days later, my face looks very puffy and fat! This was not my pre state. It is not tender nor do I have any bruising, it just looks very puffy and swollen. I also had some injected into my jawline which is now a different "puffy" shape.

Hi @Kathleen6565! I would wait two weeks to allow swelling to subside. If you still notice asymmetry after two weeks, you can add more to one side. Best of luck to you, Dr. Nima!
I don't think that the Voluma is the cause of your blocked ears. My guess is that it's just unlucky timing. Try taking a decongestant and see if that helps clear up your blockage. Kindly,Kouros Azar
Just because a product is used "off label" does not mean that it's dangerous. In fact, a lot of our innovation comes from trying products in different ways. As long as you went to an experienced injector, all should be fine. Kindly,Kouros Azar
