I keep hearing that there is little to no swelling with Voluma. But I do feel I'm a little swollen. If this is my final look, I'll be so upset. I feel like my face shape resembles an alien now.
Answer: Swelling after Voluma All fillers cause some degree of swelling. The amount of swelling depends on much more than the product. Equally important are the injection technique, the location of the injection, the age of the patient, the patient's tendency toward bruising or bleeding, tissue reactivity (histamine response), and the amount of product injected. The product itself is only one factor in how much swelling occurs. To hasten recovery, you can keep your head elevated during the day, apply cool compresses, stay out of the extreme heat and avoid prolonged exercise with an elevated HR. Allow two weeks for your face to settle. If the result is still not what you want, return to your physician. Voluma can be gently dissolved to produce the desired result. Best wishes.

Answer: Voluma Thank you for your question. The swelling you are experiencing is part of the recovery process and tends to subside within 2-4 weeks after the procedure. You are not at the final appearance, but I suggest that you schedule a follow-up appointment with your board certified facial plastic surgeon to discuss the best recovery practices so as to ensure you can undergo the best recovery process possible.Best wishes,

Answer: Is swelling normal after Voluma? Thank you for your question. Swelling is common after filler injections. I advise my patients to avoid activities that cause facial flushing including exercising, saunas, alcohol consumption, heat application, etc. until swelling resolves. Application of soft ice pack to the treated area for 15 minutes every couple of hours will help with the swelling. If you are still not happy with your results two weeks after injection, return to your injecting physician to discuss your concerns.
