I got my first treatment of Juvederm voluma two days ago. I got 1 ml in upper cheeks and in each side of the temple.I am having slighly pain in the temples, especially when I chew. I have read online that the Juvederm Voluma will stay in the body from 12-18 mnd and then breaks down by the body. But my doctor told me that this product will stay in my body and does not exit. What is right and wrong? I have also heard about doctors who found temporarily fillers under patients skin many years later

Answer: Longevity of Voluma Every patient reacts differently to filler. In general, Voluma lasts up to 2 years in the cheeks. This is an average. In the temples, it can last longer but no, it is not permanent.The discomfort that you are feeling should improve over the next couple of weeks. Best of luck.

Answer: Voluma It is normal to experience mild discomfort for a few days after the injection, it should go away soon. You most likely misunderstood your doctor. Voluma will stay in your cheeks for up to 2yrs and then slowly will be absorbed by your own body. Filler found under the skin years later maybe longer lasting or semi-permanent brands, for example Sculptra. It can also happened as a complication of injection, when patient develops granuloma. With Voluma you are most likely safe, since there is a shot that can dilute it if results need to be reversed- it is called Hialuronidaze and I am sure your doctor knows about it. So relax and enjoy your beauty.
