Voluma and puffy face. Is this just swelling and will it go down? How long will this take to resolve?

If you are concerned you can reverse the filler however I tell people to wait 2-3 weeks before deciding as the swelling often subsides.  Best, Dr. Emer.

Every patient reacts differently, but, in general, any post op swelling from Voluma should resolve within the first 2 weeks. So, for now, be patient and wait. If you still don't like what you see at 2 weeks post op then schedule an appointment to see your surgeon.Kindly,Kouros Azar

Hello Pinkwillow,Fillers will add volume so they will make the face look a little more swollen where injected (but usually that is the reason for the injection to help add volume).  There is swelling for the first few days that goes away and what you have at 2 weeks is your final result.  If at that time you still don't like your result you can inject a material that would dissolve the product.  Make sure you follow up with your injector to address your concerns.I hope this helps and good luck.  

You may be looking puffy due to residual  swelling or bruising at one week so I would give it at least two before determining whether you like it or not.  If indeed you are still unhappy you could consider dissolving the voluma.  You should plan to follow up with your injector who can hopefully help you. Good luck.

It seems like the filler is causing you concern. I would discuss with your doctor. It can always be dissolved and you can go back to your original look using hyaluronidase.

You will need to recheck with your doctor. It probably is edema from the injection and the early metabolism of the Voluma. It may need pressure massage or possibly a dissolving agent.

Swelling using Juvederm on the lips (not Voluma) takes a few days to settle down- often a week, however if its been 6 days since your Voluma has been placed in your cheeks, I doubt its residual swelling- more than likely its filler. My suggestion is to be reviewed by your injector. There is always a reversal agent to help dissolve HA fillers like Voluma best of luck,Dr Davin Lim Laser DermatologistBRISBANE, Australia.
